What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit. Cookies can help a website remember information about your visit, maintain your login session, remember preferences, and provide information about how the website is being used. Cookies do not damage your device.

How We Use Cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Operate and secure the CIY website;
• Keep members logged in and maintain account sessions;
• Support forms, membership features, and website functionality;
• Remember certain preferences;
• Understand how visitors navigate and use the website;
• Measure website traffic and performance; and

The specific cookies used may change as we update or improve the website.

Types of Cookies We May Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for important website functions, such as security, account access, member login, checkout, and maintaining a session.

Because these cookies are necessary for the website to function, disabling them may prevent certain parts of CIY from working properly.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies help the website remember choices or provide features that improve your experience.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use CIY, including which pages are visited, how visitors navigate the site, and general website performance.

If Google Analytics is enabled on our website, Google Analytics may collect information such as session activity, browser and device information, approximate geographic information, and identifiers used to distinguish visits or users.

This information helps us understand how the website is being used and improve its content, organization, and performance.

Third-Party Cookies

Some features of the CIY website may rely on third-party services, including services related to analytics, payment processing, embedded content, security, or other website functionality.

Those providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Session and Persistent Cookies

Some cookies are session cookies, which generally expire when you close your browser.

Others are persistent cookies, which may remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

We may use both types depending on the function being provided.

Managing Cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Most browsers allow you to:

• View stored cookies;
• Delete some or all cookies;
• Block cookies from specific websites; or
• Block certain categories of cookies.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the CIY website from functioning correctly, including account or membership features.

Where required, we may also provide cookie or privacy preference controls directly through the website.

We may update this Cookie Policy as our website, services, or legal requirements change.

When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date shown above.
