An IP address is a unique identifier that devices use to communicate on the Internet, helping us determine the general physical location of the device and understand the regions from which our visitors come.

Cookies and Other Technologies

Overview: We may use cookies and other technologies, such as pixels, to obtain information when your web browser accesses the Site or visits a website in our network. Cookies are small pieces of information stored by your browser to improve your experience on the Site.

This website uses Google Analytics, which employs cookies to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior in an anonymous form. The information, including IP addresses, is transmitted to Google to evaluate website use and compile statistical reports for Janine for Brooklyn. Google Analytics does not associate your IP address with other data held by Google, nor do we link it with personally identifiable information unless you explicitly submit it via a form. It reports trends without identifying individual visitors. To opt out of Google Analytics tracking, visit the Google opt-out page.

We may use other companies to set cookies, operate web servers, or process credit card purchases for the Site. Cookies and other technologies help speed navigation, track items, and gather anonymous traffic data to enhance the Site, our Services, marketing, and other internal purposes. If you select ‘remember me’ when logging on, Janine for Brooklyn will set a persistent cookie to store your username and password, facilitating confirmations, receipts, updates, alerts, and administrative messages. This cookie also tracks user interests to enhance the Site experience and is removed when you uncheck the ‘remember me’ checkbox.

Disabling Cookies: The ‘Help’ portion of most browsers explains how to prevent accepting cookies, receive notifications for cookies, or disable them entirely. Note that rejecting or blocking cookies may limit the Site’s full functionality and experience.

Web Beacons: Pages of the Site and our e-mails may contain web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags, or single-pixel gifs) that allow Janine for Brooklyn to count users visiting pages, opening e-mails, or to record website content popularity and verify system and server integrity.
