NYC Park Guide ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on nycparkguide.com (the "Site") to improve your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and serve relevant advertising. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
What Are Cookies? Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide information to site owners, and enable certain features and functionality. Cookies can be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or are manually deleted.
Essential Cookies. These cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to function properly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your cookie consent preferences. The Site cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies. We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the Site. These cookies collect information such as the number of visitors, pages viewed, time spent on the Site, and the source from which visitors arrived. This data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not identify individual users. We may use services such as Google Analytics to process this data. Analytics cookies help us improve the structure, content, and performance of the Site.
Advertising Cookies. Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to your interests. These cookies track your browsing activity across websites and are typically placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other websites. Advertising partners may include Google Ad Manager and similar networks.
Security and Anti-Spam Cookies. Our contact and newsletter forms use Google reCAPTCHA v2, which may set cookies and read device and browser information in order to tell human visitors apart from automated traffic. These cookies are used for security and abuse prevention rather than for advertising or analytics, and the information collected is processed by Google under the Google Privacy Policy. Blocking these cookies may prevent the forms on this Site from being submitted.
Functional Cookies. Functional cookies enable the Site to remember choices you make, such as your preferred layout, display settings, or region. These cookies provide enhanced, personalized features and are not strictly necessary for the Site to function but improve your experience.
Third-Party Cookies. Some cookies on the Site are set by third parties, including advertising partners, analytics providers, and embedded content services. These third parties may collect data about your online activity across different websites. We do not control these cookies, and their use is governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies.
How to Manage Cookies. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can choose to block or delete cookies, or configure your browser to alert you when cookies are being set. Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may impact the functionality of the Site and your ability to access certain features. For more information on managing cookies in your browser, visit your browser's help documentation.
Do Not Track Signals. Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At this time, the Site does not respond to DNT signals, but we respect your right to manage cookies through your browser settings as described above.
Changes to This Cookie Policy. We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Contact Us. If you have questions about our use of cookies, please reach out through our Contact Us page or email [email protected].
