Privacy Policy
Cookie Policy
My Cookie Policy applies to all websites, brand-related pages on third-party platforms such as Facebook or YouTube, and to all applications accessible or used through my websites or brand-related pages on third-party platforms operated by or on behalf of Audrey Monfils.
If you consent to the use of cookies, you agree to browse my websites in accordance with this Cookie Policy. If you do not accept my use of cookies, or if you set my cookie preferences or your browser preferences to disable the cookies I use, your user experience on my websites may be inaccurate.
The table below summarizes the different types of cookies I use on my websites, along with their respective purposes and duration (i.e., how long each cookie remains on your device).
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file or piece of information that may be stored on the web browser of your computer or device when you visit my websites. A cookie typically contains the name of the website it has come from, the cookie’s “lifetime” (i.e., how long it stays on your device), and a value, which is usually a randomly generated unique number.
What are cookies used for?
I use cookies to let you navigate between my websites efficiently, to remember your choices, and generally improve your user experience. Cookies can tell you, for example, whether you have visited our websites before or if you are a new visitor. They can also help ensure that advertisements you see online are more relevant to you. I also use cookies to create anonymous statistics that help me understand how visitors use my websites and improve their structure and content. No information collected is used to identify a unique user on my websites.
What types of cookies do I use?
The cookies I use on my websites can be classified based on several characteristics:
Lifespan
Session cookies: Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain on your device until you leave the websites.
Persistent cookies: Persistent cookies generally remain on your device for a longer period of time or until you manually delete them. The lifespan of the cookie on your device will depend on the “lifespan” of the specific cookie as well as your browser settings. One of the persistent cookies allows me, for example, to count you as a returning visitor to my websites if you have visited them in the past.
Deploy a cookie
First-party cookies: The website owner or service provider sets these cookies.
Third-party cookies: Parties other than the website owner place these cookies.
Some of the pages you visit on my websites may also contain “web beacons” or “clear gifs” that may share information about your visit with third parties who directly support my promotional activities and website development efforts.
Do I use third-party cookies?
I use several vendors who may also place cookies on your device on my behalf when you visit Sarah Monfils websites. These cookies are necessary for the vendors to provide their services. For more information about these cookies, as well as how to opt out of receiving them, please read below.
Thus, when you visit my websites, you may receive cookies from third-party websites or domains. I identify these cookies before they are used so that you can decide whether you want to accept them. You can also find more information about these cookies on the third-party website.
How can I control or delete cookies?
Most web browsers are initially set to automatically accept cookies. You can change your settings to block cookies or alert you when cookies are being placed on your device. There are several ways to manage cookies. Please refer to your browser’s instructions or options for more information on how to change your browser settings.
If you use different devices to view and access our websites (e.g., your computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.), you must ensure that each browser on each device has adjusted your cookie settings.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics cookies help me better understand my website visitors and tailor my web presence to their needs. More specifically, this web analytics service helps me optimize my websites and tailor my advertising to users’ needs in order to provide them with the best possible experience.
The operating company of Google Analytics is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, California 94043-1351, USA.
These cookies are a mix of session and persistent cookies from a leading provider. The lifespan of cookies is as follows:
| COOKIE | LIFESPAN |
| _ga | 2 years |
| _gid | 24 hours |
| _dc_gtm_<property-id> | 1 minutes |
| AMP_TOKEN | 30 seconds to 1 year |
| _gac_<property-id> | 90 days |
Cookies send information such as browser type, operating system, referring page, IP address, or session duration to a server, where the information is stored. The data may be transferred to third parties to the extent permitted by law, or even if third parties process the data. The storage of these cookies can be prevented by adjusting your browser settings. To learn exactly how to make these settings, we refer you to the instructions for your Internet browser. In addition, you can select in the cookie settings how many cookies you wish to allow. For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en
Google AdWords
Google AdWords helps me market my products and services on the Google search engine and the Google Display Network. Google AdWords is an advertising tool. Google AdWords cookies on my sites are used to measure the success of my advertising campaigns, to tailor them to individual needs, and to optimize them.
The operator of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043-1351, USA. Google AdWords uses a cookie that allows me to run so-called remarketing campaigns or optimize their conversions. This means that if you have visited certain pages of my websites, I will be able to show you targeted ads in the following days. The conversion tracking cookie allows me to tailor our campaigns to predefined goals and display ads that are of interest to you. During this process, personal data is collected and stored. Every time you visit my websites, personal data is transmitted to Google. However, the data collected by Google to optimize these campaigns is not accessible to me or any other Google customer.
Google offers you the option to block Google’s targeted advertising. You can do this by disabling them at https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated?hl=en.
Ads personalization is enabled. For more information, see Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en.
Facebook Custom Audiences
I have installed the Facebook pixel on my websites. This pixel allows me to evaluate my social media campaigns, show you exclusive ads on Facebook and other social media, and create target audiences. The operating company is Facebook Inc., 16001 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. Through these “pixel tags” or “clear gifs,” Facebook receives information that my websites have been visited. If you are registered with Facebook, Facebook can also associate your visit to my websites with your Facebook account. However, I cannot provide accurate information on the exact scope of the data transmitted. You can deactivate Facebook Custom Audiences by logging into your Facebook account at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen.
