If you have any comments or questions about this Cookie Policy, feel free to contact us at support@foxandlens.com.

By agreeing to accept our use of cookies, you are giving us, and third parties we partner with, permission to place, store, and access some or all the cookies described below on your computer.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we’ll update the “Effective Date” at the top of the Cookie Policy. We encourage you to check back periodically to review this Cookie Policy for any changes since your last visit.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your browser when you visit a site. They serve a variety of functions, like enabling the site to remember certain information you provide as you navigate between pages or to recognize when you’re logged in, for example. We use cookies to help the site run effectively and provide you with the best experience.

Purpose of cookies

We use cookies on this website and associated domains of foxandlens.com for the following purposes:

  • Authentication, Customization, Security, and Other Functional Cookies. Cookies help us verify your Account and device and determine when you’re logged in, so we can make it easier for you to access the Services and provide the appropriate experiences and features. We also use cookies to help prevent fraudulent use of login credentials and to remember choices you’ve made on the Services, such as your language preference.

  • Performance And Analytics. Cookies help us analyze how the Services are being accessed and used, evaluate and improve our Services (including by developing new products and services and managing our communications), and enable us to track the performance of the Services. For example, we use cookies to determine if you viewed a page or opened an email. This helps us provide you with information that you find interesting and assess whether our Services are meeting your needs and the needs of our customers in the aggregate.

  • Third-Party Ads. From time to time, we may purchase advertising on a third-party platform, like a social media site. Our third-party partners may set cookies on your device or browser to gather information about your activities on the Services and other sites you visit, in order to provide you with relevant ads. For example, if you visit our site and also use a social media platform, you may see a Fox and Lens ad in your social media newsfeed or timeline. Any such third-party cookie usage is governed by the policy of the third party placing the cookie, not us.

We may also use cookies for:

  • Personalizing content that you see on our website

  • Remarketing our products or services to you

  • Remembering your preferences, settings, and login details

  • Affiliate marketing

  • Allowing you to post comments

  • Allowing you to share content with social networks

Most web browsers can be set to disable the use of cookies (see “Opting Out” below). However, if you disable cookies, you may not be able to access features on our website correctly or at all.

Types of cookies

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the website, such as displaying content, logging in, validating your session, responding to your request for services, and other functions. Most web browsers can be set to disable the use of cookies. However, if you disable these cookies, you may not be able to access features on our website correctly or at all.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to remember a user’s choices, such as their language, user name, and other personal choices while using the website. They can also be used to deliver services, such as allowing a user to access and manage their customer account, providing URL redirects for expired pages, enabling the use of checkout features, letting a user make a blog post, listen to audio, or watch videos on the website.

Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about the use of the website, such as pages visited, traffic sources, users’ interests, content management, and other website measurements.

Google reCAPTCHA Cookies

This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply. reCAPTCHA helps us ensure that only real humans submit forms (such as signing up for a newsletter).

Media Cookies

These cookies can be used to improve a website’s performance and provide special features and content. They can be placed by third parties who provide services to us or by our company.

Advertising or Targeting Cookies

These cookies are usually placed and used by advertising companies to develop a profile of your browsing interests and serve advertisements on other websites that are related to your interests. While you won’t see less advertising if you disable these cookies, you may see less relevant advertisements.

Session Cookies

These cookies allow websites to link the actions of a user during a browser session. They may be used for a variety of purposes, such as remembering what a user has put in their shopping cart as they browse a website. Session cookies also permit users to be recognized as they navigate a website so that any item or page changes they make are remembered from page to page. Session cookies expire after a browser session; thus, they are not stored long term.

Persistent Cookies

These cookies are stored on a user’s device in between browser sessions, which allows the user’s preferences or actions across a site (or, in some cases, across different sites) to be remembered. Persistent cookies may be used for a variety of purposes, including remembering users’ choices and preferences when using a website or to target advertising to them.

Web Beacons

We may also use a technology called web beacons to collect general information about your use of our website and your use of special promotions or newsletters. The information we collect by web beacons allows us to statistically monitor the number of people who open our emails. Web beacons also help us to understand the behavior of our customers, members, and visitors.

Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics to collect information about the use of our website.

We have enabled Google Analytics advertising features such as remarketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our website, not your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected using Google Analytics with Personal Information. Though Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit our website, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google also uses specific identifiers to help collect information about the use of our website.
