1. About this policy
Richard Brownstein, doing business as Brownstein Enterprises (“Brownstein Enterprises,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operates BrownsteinEnterprises.com. This Cookie Policy explains how the Website uses cookies and similar technologies. Read it together with our Privacy Policy.
2. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small data files stored by a browser. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, referral identifiers, and other methods of storing or accessing information on a device. Session cookies generally expire when a browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiration or until deleted through browser controls.
3. Technologies used on this Website
As of the effective date, the Website is designed to use limited technologies for operation, security, forms, email subscriptions, and referral attribution. We do not intentionally deploy Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or cross-site behavioral-advertising pixels on our public pages.
- Website operation and security: WordPress, our hosting environment, caching, and security systems may use cookies or similar identifiers to deliver pages, protect the Website, prevent abuse, and maintain authorized administrator sessions.
- Forms: Forminator and related WordPress functions may process technical information necessary to submit contact forms, maintain form integrity, and prevent spam or abuse.
- Email subscriptions: AWeber processes information when you voluntarily submit an email-subscription form. AWeber may use technical measures to document consent, deliver messages, record subscription status, and process unsubscribe requests. Email messages may include delivery, open, or link-tracking features where enabled.
- Media and preferences: The Website may use browser storage or similar tools to support requested media playback, accessibility, display preferences, or other functions initiated by a visitor.
- Administrator cookies: WordPress may use cookies such as wordpress_test_cookie, wordpress_logged_in_[hash], wordpress_sec_[hash], wp-settings-[user], and wp-settings-time-[user] for authorized sign-in and administration. These normally concern administrators rather than ordinary public visitors.
4. Affiliate links and external websites
Some links identify Brownstein Enterprises to an affiliate provider or network. When you click an affiliate link, the destination may receive a referral or campaign identifier and may place or read its own cookies to attribute a visit, registration, or purchase. Brownstein Enterprises may earn a commission from a qualifying action.
Affiliate tracking on a third-party destination is controlled by that provider under its own cookie and privacy policies. Brownstein Enterprises does not control the provider’s cookie names, retention periods, consent tools, or subsequent data practices. Review the destination’s policies before providing information. Our Affiliate Disclosure explains our compensation relationships.
5. Third-party providers
Providers that may process technical or personal information in connection with Website functions include our hosting provider, WordPress-related systems, Forminator/WPMU DEV, our business email provider, AWeber, and the affiliate companies and networks reached through links you choose to follow. Providers may update their technologies and policies independently.
6. Your choices
Most browsers allow you to inspect, block, or delete cookies and site data. Blocking necessary cookies may interfere with sign-in, forms, security, saved preferences, or other requested functions. Browser settings may need to be managed separately on each browser and device.
Some browsers offer Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals. Because there is no uniform response required for every signal, the Website may not respond to every Do Not Track setting. We do not currently sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. If we begin a practice subject to a legally recognized opt-out preference signal, we will honor that signal and provide any additional control required by applicable law.
The Website does not currently offer a separate cookie-preference panel because we do not intentionally activate optional analytics or behavioral-advertising cookies on public pages. If optional technologies requiring consent or an opt-out are added, we will update this Policy and implement the required choice mechanism before or when they are activated.
7. Retention
Cookie and storage duration depends on the function and provider. Session technologies generally expire when the session ends. Persistent technologies may remain until their configured expiration or deletion. Security logs, consent records, subscription records, and suppression records may be retained as reasonably necessary for operation, fraud prevention, legal compliance, and honoring communication choices. Third-party retention is governed by the applicable provider’s policies.
8. Children
The Website is intended for adults age 18 or older and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly use cookies or similar technologies to profile children for behavioral advertising.
9. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy when Website features, providers, or legal obligations change. The revised version will be posted here with a new “Last updated” date. Where law requires additional notice or consent, we will provide it.
