POLICY
Last updated December 05, 2024
This Cookie
Policy
explains how EnglishTalk US ("Company,"
"we,"
"us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to
recognize you
when you visit our website at
https://englishtalk.us
("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.
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, EnglishTalk US) 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

How can I
control
cookies on my browser?
As the means by which you can refuse
cookies
through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help
menu for
more information. The following is information about how to manage cookies on the most popular
browsers:
In addition, most advertising networks
offer
you
a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please

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.
Where can
I get
further information?

questions about our use of cookies or other technologies,
