Cookie Policy

1. Purpose of this policy

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on Fish Sticker Bowfishing, an informational Stocks Financial Blog. It describes cookie categories, why they may be used, how long they may remain on your device, and how you can manage your preferences. This policy is intended to be read together with the Privacy Policy, which describes how information is processed more broadly.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small files stored on a device by a website. Similar technologies can include local storage or comparable identifiers used to remember preferences or support basic functions. Cookies can be session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (stored for a defined duration unless deleted). Cookies may be set by the website (first-party) or by a service provider that supports the website (limited third-party cookies).

3. Necessary cookies

Necessary cookies support core functions such as page delivery, load balancing, basic navigation, security, and fraud or abuse prevention. These cookies are generally required for the site to operate reliably. They may include identifiers used to keep connections stable or to apply security rules. Retention for necessary cookies varies by purpose and may be limited to a session or a short period.

4. Functional cookies

Functional cookies store preferences you choose, such as language or display settings, and help keep your experience consistent across visits. These cookies are optional for basic access to content. If functional cookies are disabled, the website can still load, but preference-based features may reset between sessions. Functional cookie retention is typically aligned with the preference being stored and is kept limited where possible.

5. Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies are used to understand website usage at an aggregated level, such as which pages are visited, how visitors move between sections, and whether navigation elements function as expected. The purpose is to improve site clarity and technical performance, not to identify you directly. Where analytics cookies are used, they are enabled based on your preferences when a consent mechanism is presented. You can disable analytics cookies at any time by changing your settings as described below. If analytics are enabled, we aim to rely on aggregated reporting and minimize collection of data that could directly identify a visitor.

6. Advertising cookies

Advertising cookies are commonly used on some websites to measure advertising delivery or to personalize ads. Fish Sticker Bowfishing is an informational website and does not use targeted advertising as defined under applicable U.S. state privacy laws. If an advertising cookie category is presented in a preference tool, it is provided for transparency and control. If any advertising-related cookies appear due to embedded resources or infrastructure choices, you can manage them using the controls described below, including browser-level blocking or deletion.

7. Cookie retention

Cookie duration depends on the cookie’s function. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their expiration date or until you delete them. A consent or preference cookie may be used to remember your selections so the site can apply them on later visits. Retention is intended to remain consistent with the stated purpose of each category.

8. Managing preferences

Where required, the website may present a cookie banner or preference center that allows you to accept or decline optional categories, such as functional and analytics cookies. Optional categories are not pre-selected. You can change your preferences later using the same preference mechanism if available. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking cookies, deleting cookies, and setting rules for specific sites. If you delete cookies, your stored preferences may be removed and you may be asked to set preferences again.

9. Cookies and personal information

Depending on what a cookie stores and how it is used, cookie data can be linked to personal information. On this site, cookies are intended to support necessary functions and, where enabled by you, functional preferences and aggregated analytics. The website does not sell or share personal information and does not use targeted advertising as defined under applicable U.S. state privacy laws. For additional details about technical data and Contact form information, please review the Privacy Policy.

10. Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in website functionality, cookie categories, or preference tools. The “Last Updated” date above indicates when this policy was most recently revised.
