This Cookie Policy explains how
The Meteorite Exchange, Inc. (" Company ",
"we", "us", and "our")
uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our
websites at
https://www.meteorites-for-sale.com ,
("Websites"). It explains what these technologies are and
why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases we may use cookies to
collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we
combine it with other information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are
placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies
are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work,
or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in
this case, The Meteorite Exchange, Inc. ) are
called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website
owner are called "third party cookies". Third party cookies enable third
party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website
(e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties
that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when
it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other
websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first
and third party cookies for
several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order
for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly
necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the
interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties.
Third parties serve cookies through our Websites for advertising, analytics
and other purposes. This is
described in more detail below.
The specific types of first
and third party cookies served
through our Websites and the purposes they perform are described below (please
note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific
Online Properties you visit):
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether
to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting
your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager
allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential
cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you
with services.
The Cookie Consent Manager can be found
in the notification banner and on our website. If you choose to reject cookies,
you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and
areas of our website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web
browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. As the means by which you
can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser,
you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.
In addition, most advertising networks
offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to
find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.

What about other tracking technologies,
like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to
recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies
from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels"
or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier
that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Websites
or opened an e-mail including them .
This allows us, for example, to monitor the
traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to
deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come
to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website,
to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing
campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies
to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared
Objects?
Websites may also use so-called "Flash
Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other
things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud
prevention and for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored
on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block
Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website
Storage Settings Panel.
You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global
Storage Settings Panel and following
the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example,
how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia
site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without
your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash
Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are
on at the time).
Please note that setting the Flash Player
to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the
functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash
applications used in connection with our services or online content.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your
computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Websites. These
companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites
in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that
you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to
measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by
them using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits
to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about
goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected
through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact
details or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to
provide these.
How often will you update this Cookie
Policy?
We may update this
Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes
to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.
Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed
about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Policy
indicates when it was last updated.

use of cookies or other technologies, please email us at
