Use of Cookies

The EXPLORIST.life website may use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize EXPLORIST.life pages, or register with the EXPLORIST.life site or services, a cookie helps EXPLORIST.life recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same EXPLORIST.life website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the EXPLORIST.life features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the EXPLORIST.life services or websites you visit.

Google Remarketing

Why am I seeing ads by Google for products I’ve viewed?

Our website uses a remarketing advertising service provided by Google and other companies that show our ads on websites across the Internet. With remarketing you may see ads for our products you have previously looked at. For this to happen, Google reads a cookie already in your browser, or places one when you visit our website or other websites using remarketing. You can opt out of Google’s use of cookies and remarketing at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en, or via the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/#!/.

Facebook / Meta Remarketing

Third parties, including Meta (Facebook), may use cookies, web beacons, and other storage technologies to collect or receive information from our website and elsewhere on the internet, and use that information to provide measurement services and target ads. With Facebook remarketing you may see our ads on Facebook after you have visited our website. For this to happen, Meta uses a pixel that is activated when a visitor lands on a webpage, placing a unique cookie in their browser. Lookalike audience targeting allows us to show ads on Facebook to people who are similar to those who have already visited or made a purchase from our website. To opt out of Meta’s collection and use of information for ad targeting, visit https://www.facebook.com/help/568137493302217.
