Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 1, 2024
Introduction to Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website asks your browser to place on your computer’s hard drive or device. They were traditionally used to remember information about your visit (like your preferred language or page view preferences) but now have broader uses, including helping to ensure the security of transactions and storing user settings.
Types of Cookies Used
Our website, Pittsburgh-Pennsylvania, uses cookies to enhance your experience on our site. We utilize different types of cookies to serve our users better:
-
Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the operation of our website and enable you to navigate the site and use its features. Without these cookies, services like login accounts cannot be provided.
-
Performance Cookies: These collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they receive error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor; all information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous. They are used only to improve the performance of the website.
-
Functionality Cookies: These allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you’ve made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
-
Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These are used to deliver ads that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may be used by us or our advertising partners. These cookies track your browsing habits to figure out what areas of the site you prefer, and then we can later use this information to show you ads which are more relevant to you outside the Pittsburgh-Pennsylvania website.
Managing or Deleting Cookies
If you wish to control or delete cookies, you can do so by adjusting your browser settings. These settings are usually found in the ‘options’ or ‘preferences’ menu of your web browser. Please note that if you disable cookies, some of the features and functionalities of our website may not work as intended.
Third-Party Cookies
We may use third-party service providers to serve tailored experiences through the use of cookies, as part of our overall interaction with you. These cookies can be used to register that a user has seen a particular advertisement or set of advertisements and thus enable us to avoid displaying the same ad to you repeatedly. We also may use such cookies to understand your interests and to enhance the relevance of advertisements viewable by you on our site and on third-party sites.
Consent and Control
We aim to comply with GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, CCPA, and UK GDPR with respect to cookies. Your consent is required for us to use these cookies. When you first visit our website, you will be informed about our use of cookies and will be asked to consent to the setting of cookies. Override any future cookie preferences by clicking here. This may be done by individuals at any time—such choices will not affect the provision of our service.
