We at Donnie Dimes (www.donniedimes.com) value our clients and want to be transparent with our users (“you”) about how we collect and use their data.
To find out more about this you can read our Privacy Policy.
This Cookie Policy is aimed to clearly explain how, when and why we use cookies.
For the information on how to delete or block cookies, please see the section How can I change my cookie settings? below. However, before you take any action with regard to cookies, we advise you to read this policy.
Our use of cookies
Any browser visiting donniedimes.com will receive cookies from us. Insofar as cookies we use are not strictly necessary for the provision of this website, we will ask you to consent to our use of cookies when you first visit Donnedimes.com.
We use cookies on donniedimes.com because we wish all of our users to have the best possible on-site experience. Information provided via cookies makes it possible to optimize your Donnedimes.com experience.
Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in, and obtained from cookies. In our Privacy Policy, you can find out more about what personal data relating to our users is being processed.
About cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by websites that you visit. They enable the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site, or browse from one page to another. The use of cookies helps you to navigate between pages efficiently, helps remember your preferences, and improves your browsing experience in other ways. Cookies can also help ensure that the marketing you see online is more relevant to you and your interests.
Other technologies, including data we store on your web browser or device, identifiers associated with your device, and other software are used for similar purposes. In this policy, we refer to all of these technologies as “cookies.”
Cookies can be classified by their lifespan, the domain to which they belong, and place of storage.
By lifespan, cookies are either:
• session cookies which are erased when the user closes the browser (session cookies only last for as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session)); or
• persistent cookies which remain on the user’s computer/device for a pre-defined period of time (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date). Persistent cookies help us to recognize you, so it’s easier to return to Donnedimes.com or interact with our service without having to sign in or change your settings every time. After you sign in, a persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read again when you return to our site.
As for the domain to which it belongs, there are either:
• first-party cookies which are set by the web server of the visited page and share the same domain.
• third-party cookies stored by a different domain to the visited page’s domain. This can happen when the web page references a file, such as JavaScript, located outside of its domain.
Taking into account where cookies are stored, there are:
• browser cookies that are sent by a website and stored on the user’s browser (browser cookies store less than flash cookies and only the browser where the cookies are stored may access them); or
• flash cookies which are known as local shared objects (flash cookies are stored outside of the browser and they may be accessed by multiple browsers on same computer).

Which cookies do we use and what is their purpose?
We use all types of cookies that are explained above. A detailed description of our cookies, their functions, and sources can be found below.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for our website to work effectively. They help make Donnedimes.com usable by enabling basic functionalities like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. This type of cookie may be used to protect and accelerate our website by automatically optimizing the delivery of our content. This is how you get the fastest page load times and best performance. Also, essential cookies may be used for security reasons and to identify our trusted visitors. They may filter bots and distinguish them from legitimate users, preventing any form of spam activity on our website.
These cookies do not correspond to any user ID in our web application, nor do the cookies store any personally identifiable information. We advise you to not switch off these cookies. If you set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, please be aware that after doing so, some parts of the web page may not work.
Preference and functionality cookies
Preference cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks – for instance your preferred language or the region that you are in. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or using a live chat service.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help website owners to understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use analytics cookies in order to analyze information about how our website is being used. Analytics cookies can process information about the number of visitors to the website, where visitors to the website came from, the pages they visit, scrolling activities, downloads, information about user agent, time spent on the website and approximate geo-location of a device that you use to access our website. We use this information to compile reports that help us to improve Donnedimes.com. Reports may be visually presented through heat maps and anonymized screen recordings. All data we process by use of this type of cookies are presented in an aggregated form and/or pseudonymized.
We mainly use analytics cookies provided by Google Analytics. However, please be aware that we may use analytics cookies provided by other companies which services we may also use for analytics and analytical purposes.
Marketing cookies
For the purpose of regular functioning of marketing services, marketing cookies are used. Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display advertisements that are relevant and engaging for the individual user.
For marketing purposes we use Klaviyo marketing tools. They serve to personalize the way we communicate with you. If you accept to receive advertising material, marketing cookies help us to evaluate your personal preferences toward specific content that we further use to deliver advertising material to you that corresponds to your preferences.
Please be aware that we may use marketing cookies provided by other companies whose services we may use for marketing purposes. Also, third party cookies (see the section below) may be placed by our partners in order to promote their products. Promotional activities may include, among other things, providing interstitial advertisement.
Third party cookies
Third parties may set cookies when you visit Donnedimes.com. Sometimes that is because we have hired the third party to provide services on our behalf. In other cases, it is because our web pages contain advertisements from third parties, or content such as videos or news. Because your browser connects to those third parties’ web servers to retrieve that content, third parties are able to set or read their own cookies on your device and may collect information about your online activities across websites or online services. Finally, in some cases third party tracking cookies may also be necessary for the effective use of affiliate links and the performance of any affiliate agreements we have in place.
How can I change my cookie settings?
