Last updated February 1, 2024

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and how we use them, the types of cookies we use, the information we collect using cookies, how that information is used, and how to control your cookie preferences when you visit our website at glennstok.com.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are used to make websites work efficiently and provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner 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 through the website such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when you visit the website and also when you visit certain other websites.

How We Use Cookies

We use first-party 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 enable us to track and target the interests of our users. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

How You Can Control Your Cookie Preferences

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager, where you can select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though some functionality may be restricted. You may also set your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
