Last Updated:
This Cookie Policy explains how Clever Canyon LLC ("Company," "we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://clevercanyon.com/ ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information. Ensuring the utmost respect for user privacy is a cornerstone of our commitment to providing a secure and trustworthy online experience. We recognize the sensitivity of personal information and understand the importance of safeguarding it with the highest standards of care and diligence.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Clever Canyon LLC) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
How Can I Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Online Properties you visit):
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
Name: | _cfuvid |
---|---|
Purpose: | The _cfuvid cookie is only set when required; e.g., a site powered by Cloudflare uses a "Rate Limiting Rule". The cookie allows the Cloudflare Web Application Firewall (WAF) to distinguish individual users who share the same IP address. Visitors who do not have this cookie are likely to be grouped together and may not be able to access the site if there are many other visitors from the same IP address. |

Type: | http_cookie |
Expires in: | duration of session |
Name: | cf_chl_[hash] |
---|---|
Purpose: | This cookie is used to check whether a Cloudflare "Edge" server supports cookies, and is therefore used to make decisions about the routing of a given HTTP request. It is typically deleted once it is seen. |

Name: | __cflb |
---|---|
Purpose: | The __cflb cookie allows Cloudflare to return an end user to the exact same (i.e., previous, request origin) for a specific period of time as determined by; e.g., .clevercanyon.com, .hop.gdn. This provides end users with a seamless experience; e.g., this cookie keeps an end user's items in a shopping cart while they continue shopping. __cflb is a session cookie that lasts from several seconds up to 24 hours. |

Name: | cf_ob_info, cf_use_ob |
---|---|
Purpose: | These two cookies make it possible for a website to be served in offline mode (also know as "Always Online" mode) in the event of a temporary origin server failure. The cf_ob_info cookie provides information on: the HTTP status code returned by an origin web server, the Ray ID of an original failed request, the data center serving/proxying the request. The cf_use_ob cookie informs Cloudflare to fetch the requested resource that failed from its "Always Online" cache. Applicable values are: 0, 80, and 443. The cf_ob_info and cf_use_ob cookies are persistent cookies that expire after 30 seconds. |

Name: | __cf_bm |
---|---|
Purpose: | Cloudflare places the __cf_bm cookie on end-user devices that access customer sites protected by Bot Management or Bot Fight Mode. The __cf_bm cookie is necessary for these bot solutions to function properly. The cookie contains information related to the calculation of Cloudflare's proprietary bot score and, when Anomaly Detection is enabled for Bot Management, a session identifier. The information in the cookie (other than time-related information) is encrypted and can only be decrypted by Cloudflare. This cookie expires after 30 minutes of continuous inactivity by the end user. |

Name: | __cfwaitingroom |
---|---|
Purpose: | Cloudflare's "Waiting Room" product enables a waiting room for a particular host and path combination within a zone. Visitors are put in the waiting room and provided an estimate of when they will be allowed access; i.e., when it is not immediately available. The __cfwaitingroom cookie is only used to track visitors that access a waiting room enabled host and path combination for a zone. The __cfwaitingroom cookie is used to: track a user's position in the waiting room queue and serve them in the correct order, monitor each visitor's wait duration to provide an accurate entry time to visitors queueing in the waiting room, and to allow re-entry for a period of time without going back in the waiting room. The __cfwaitingroom cookie expires 5-30 minutes after leaving the waiting room. |

This cookie enables a website to remember an end user's preferences, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations and providing a personalized browsing experience. By storing the consent information in a cookie, a website can reliably determine whether a user has previously granted permission for certain types of cookies, such as those used for analytics or targeted advertising. This not only enhances user privacy by respecting a user's choices, but also helps site owners adhere to legal requirements related to data protection and user consent, fostering transparency and trust in online interactions. |

Name: | settings, [type]_settings |
---|---|
Purpose: | Our platforms utilize client-side localStorage objects to store personalized settings, preferences, and application state persistently across sessions. These objects capture a range of user-specific information, such as data input by a user, language preferences, theme choices, layout choices, interest groups, search history, and other context-specific settings essential for features offered by our website, apps, products, or services. To organize and differentiate between various data types, we adopt a structured approach to naming localStorage keys. For example, you may encounter keys like app_settings, ui_settings, color_settings, news_settings, blog_settings, or other [type]_settings variants that are continuously being categorized and documented. It's important to note that localStorage data frequently contains personal information provided by the user. |

What About Other Tracking Technologies, Like Web Beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Do You Use Flash Cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).
Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.
Do You Serve Targeted Advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
How Often Will You Update This Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
