Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how the Louisiana Psychological Association (“LPA,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at [website address] (the “Site”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
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 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, the Louisiana Psychological Association) 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-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Site 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 Site. Third parties serve cookies through our Site for analytics and other purposes.
Types of Cookies We Use
The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Site and the purposes they perform are described below:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Site and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Site, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Site functions.
Performance and Functionality Cookies
These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Site but are non-essential to its use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.
Analytics and Customization Cookies
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Site is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Site for you.
Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
Social Media Cookies
These cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Site through third-party social networking and other websites. These cookies may also be used for advertising purposes.
How Can You Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by following the opt-out links provided in the cookie table above or by setting or amending your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Site, though your access to some functionality and areas of our Site may be restricted. You may also set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you decide whether to accept it or not.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you would like to learn more about how to set these preferences, please visit the browser instructions below:
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Our Site does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals.
How Often Will We Update This Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, our practices, or regulatory requirements. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on our Site with an updated “Last Updated” date.
