Google Analytics Advertising Features
Google’s advertising requirements can be summed up by Google’s Advertising Principles. They are put in place to provide a positive experience for users. https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/answer/1316548?hl=en
Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on previous visits to our site and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt-out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network privacy policy.
We use various Google Analytics Advertising Features to enhance our website's functionality and improve user experiences. These features provide valuable insights into user behavior and help us tailor our services more effectively. Below are the specific features we implement:
- Google Display Network Impression Reporting
- Google AdSense Advertising
- Demographics and Interests Reporting
- DoubleClick Platform Integration
- We along with third-party vendors, such as Google use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) or other third-party identifiers together to compile data regarding user interactions with ad impressions and other ad service functions as they relate to our website.
- Demographics and Interests Reports: By utilizing this feature, we gain insights into the age, gender, and interests of our website visitors based on data provided by Google. This allows us to better understand our audience and create content that resonates with their preferences.
- Cross-Device Reports: Our implementation of cross-device tracking enables us to track user interactions across multiple devices. This helps us provide a comprehensive view of user engagement, ensuring a seamless experience as users move between devices.
- Google Ads Linking: We have linked our Google Analytics and Google Ads accounts to gain deeper insights into the performance of our ads. This linkage allows us to refine our advertising strategies and tailor our campaigns to better suit user preferences.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. – See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:
- Users can visit our site anonymously.
- Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum on the first significant page after entering our website.
- Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can be easily found on the page specified above.
Changes to this Privacy Policy: We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page for user viewing, and the revised version will become effective immediately upon posting. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly for any updates.
How does our site handle ‘do not track’ signals?
We honor do not track signals and do not track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.
COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.
We do not specifically market to children under 13.
Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
- We will notify the users via email within 7 business days
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
CAN SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.
We collect your email address in order to be in accordance with CANSPAM. We agree to the following:
- If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email us at vip@proximomarketing.com and we will promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.
