This Cookie Policy explains how USAdojo.com, operated by MAE, Inc. (“USAdojo,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit USAdojo.com.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that websites may store on your computer, mobile device, or browser. Websites and third-party services may use cookies and similar technologies, including local storage, pixels, tags, and related technologies, to provide website functionality, remember preferences, measure website activity, provide advertising, prevent fraud, and deliver embedded content.
Some cookies are necessary for a website to operate properly. Other cookies may be used for statistics, advertising, or marketing purposes.
2. Types of Cookies and Technologies We Use
USAdojo may use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies.
Functional Cookies
Functional or necessary cookies support basic website operation, security, consent preferences, and other functions necessary to provide the website.
These technologies may include cookies used by WordPress, our security systems, and our consent-management system.
USAdojo uses Complianz to manage cookie and privacy choices. Complianz may use functional cookies and browser storage to remember whether you have made a consent choice and which categories of cookies you have accepted or rejected. Complianz
Statistics and Measurement Technologies
We may use technologies that provide information about how visitors use USAdojo, such as pages visited, interactions with the website, device or browser information, and other website-usage information.
The particular technologies used on USAdojo may change as we update or replace website services.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies
USAdojo displays advertising, including advertising provided through Google AdSense.
Google and other third-party advertising vendors may use cookies or similar technologies when ads are displayed on USAdojo. Google states that advertising cookies may be used for purposes including ad selection, personalization where permitted, campaign measurement, frequency management, reporting, and fraud or abuse prevention. Google Help
Depending upon your location, consent choices, Google settings, and applicable privacy requirements, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized. Non-personalized advertising may still use cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as frequency capping, aggregated reporting, and fraud prevention. Google Help
You can control available advertising and privacy choices through our consent-management tools and through privacy controls offered by Google and other advertising providers.
Embedded Content and YouTube
USAdojo frequently includes embedded videos from YouTube.
Embedded content may behave similarly to content viewed directly on the third party’s website and may allow the third party to receive information about your interaction with the embedded content.
USAdojo uses its consent-management system to control certain embedded content. Where consent is required, YouTube content may initially be replaced by a placeholder asking you to accept the appropriate cookie category before the video is loaded.
YouTube also provides a Privacy Enhanced Mode for embedded players, which limits certain uses of viewing activity for personalization. Google Help
USAdojo may occasionally use or add embedded content from other third-party services. This policy may be updated when our use of those services changes.
3. Consent Management
USAdojo uses Complianz to provide cookie and privacy controls.
Depending upon your location and applicable requirements, you may be presented with options to accept or manage categories of cookies and similar technologies.
Necessary or functional technologies may operate without optional consent when they are required to provide the website, maintain security, remember your privacy choices, or provide other essential functions.
Optional technologies may be controlled based upon your consent or privacy choices.
Your browser or privacy software may also block cookies, scripts, advertisements, or consent interfaces independently of USAdojo.
4. Changing or Withdrawing Your Choices
You may change available cookie and privacy choices through USAdojo’s Manage Consent or Opt-out Preferences controls.
You may also configure your browser to delete, restrict, or block cookies. Browser settings differ, so consult your browser’s help or privacy settings for instructions.
Deleting cookies or browser storage may also delete your previously saved consent choices, which can cause USAdojo to ask for your preferences again.
Blocking certain technologies may prevent some website features or embedded content from functioning as intended.
5. Google Advertising Choices
Google uses cookies in connection with advertising on websites participating in its advertising services. Google states that third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on a visitor’s prior visits to a website or other websites. Google Help
Visitors can manage Google’s advertising personalization through Google’s advertising privacy and Ads Settings controls.
USAdojo’s own consent and opt-out tools may provide additional choices depending upon your location and applicable privacy requirements.
6. Do Not Sell or Share / Opt-Out Preferences
USAdojo provides an Opt-out Preferences page through our consent-management system.
Depending upon where you live and applicable privacy law, this mechanism may provide choices relating to certain uses or disclosures of personal information, including certain advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising activities.
The availability and legal meaning of particular privacy rights varies by jurisdiction.
Complianz explains that certain disclosures to advertising or other third parties can potentially fall within state-law definitions of “sale” or “sharing” even where no personal information is sold in exchange for money. Complianz
7. Third-Party Services
Third-party services used by USAdojo maintain their own privacy and cookie practices.
These services may include, depending upon the page or feature being used:
Google, including Google AdSense and related advertising services;
YouTube, for embedded video content;
Stripe, when a visitor chooses to make a donation or other payment; and
other service providers necessary to operate, secure, maintain, or provide features of USAdojo.
When you interact directly with a third-party service, that provider’s privacy terms and policies may also apply.
8. Cookies and Payment Processing
USAdojo accepts voluntary donations using Stripe payment processing.
Stripe may use cookies or similar technologies for payment processing, security, and fraud prevention when you interact with Stripe-powered payment functionality.
Payment-card processing is provided through Stripe. Please consult Stripe’s privacy and cookie information for additional information about its practices.
9. Security Technologies
USAdojo uses website-security technologies to protect the website against unauthorized access, malicious traffic, spam, fraud, and other security threats.
These systems may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser or request information, and other security-related data and may use cookies or similar technologies where necessary for security functions.
Additional information about our handling of personal information is available in our Privacy Policy.
10. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, advertising, embedded content, service providers, technologies, or legal obligations change.
