Other Cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users and to enhance the experience of the Services. Third parties serve Cookies through the Services for advertising, analytics and other purposes. 

As of the date of this Cookie Policy, ​​​​we use first and third-party Cookies.  

We use the Cookies described below on the Services: 

• Strictly Necessary Cookies 
  These Cookies are always active and are necessary for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these Cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These Cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. 
   
• Performance Cookies​ and Analytics Cookies​

  Performance Cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Site. 

  ​​Analytics Cookies are used to understand how visitors interact with the Site. ​These Cookies may collect ‘IP’ addresses and may generate a unique identifiers to analyze how frequently you visit the Services, and gather other metrics such as page views.  

  All information Performance Cookies and Analytics Cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these Cookies we will not know when you have visited our Site and will not be able to monitor its performance.  

  The data retention periods for performance and analytics Cookies vary but typically are for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes of these Cookies, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. You may, however, request information about how long we keep a specific type of information, or request that we delete your Personal Information by contacting us at the address described below.  If required by law we will grant a request to delete information, but you should note that in many situations we must keep your Personal Information to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, or for another one of our business purposes.   

  The analytics tools that we use include but are not limited to: 

  We use Google Analytics, which is an analytics service provided by Google LLC. (US). You can learn more about Google Analytics here: 

  • https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7318509?hl=en 

  • https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

• ​​​ ​​Functional Cookies 

  ​These Cookies enable the Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these Cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.  

  ​The retention periods for the data these Cookies collect are governed by the third-party provider’s data retention policies.​ 

• Targeting Cookies

  These Cookies may be set through our Site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly Personal Information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these Cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.  

  The retention periods for the data these Cookies collect are governed by the advertising partner’s data retention policies. 



• ​​Other Tracking Technologies 

Cookies are not the only way to track visitors to a website. Breaux Bridge and our third-party partners may use other similar technologies such as clear GIFs (also known as “tracking pixels” and “web beacons”). Clear GIFs are small graphics files that contain an identifier that recognizes when a user visits our Website. This allows our third-party partners to monitor traffic patterns between websites, communicate with Cookies, to understand if you have come from an advertisement displayed on a third party website, to monitor the success of marketing campaigns and to improve site performance. These technologies typically rely on Cookies to function, so disabling cookies in your browser will impair their functionality. 

The retention periods for the data these Cookies collect are governed by the third-party partner’s data retention policies. 

For example, we use Facebook Pixel, which is an analytics tool provided by Meta. Facebook Pixel is a piece of code we have on our Website that lets us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. So for example, if you visit our Website as a result of our marketing campaigns on Facebook, we’ll be able to know that using Facebook Pixel. You can learn more about Facebook Pixel here: 

• Meta Pixel: Measure, Optimize & Retarget Ads on Facebook & Instagram | Meta for Business 
• Meta Privacy Policy - How Meta collects and uses user data | Privacy Center | Manage your privacy on Facebook, Instagram and Messenger | Facebook Privacy 

Typically, Meta will retain the information it obtains from Facebook Pixel for 3 months.
