Please read this “Cookie Policy” carefully as it contains important information on how we, USA Swimming, use cookies and other tracking technologies on our website located at www.usaswimming.org (“Website”). This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which sets out how and why we collect, store, use and share personal data generally, as well as your rights in relation to your personal data and details of how to contact us and supervisory authorities if you have a complaint. This Cookie Policy relates only to your use of the Website. Any term capitalized and undefined in this Cookie Policy shall have the meaning in the Privacy Policy.
Cookies
Like most websites, USA Swimming may place a “cookie,” or small file, in the browser files of a visitor’s computer to enable the functionality of the website or use tracking technologies. Some cookies are used to prepopulate forms for you so that on repeat visits to the Website you don’t need to re-enter certain information. You can set your browser to disable cookies, but then you would not have the advantage of having certain sections of forms being prepopulated for you, and you may not be able to access certain parts of the Website. You can find more information about cookies and how to manage them at www.allaboutcookies.org.
Our Website uses the following types of cookies for the purposes set out below:
| Type of Cookie ▼ | Purpose ▼ |
|---|---|
| Essential Cookies | Essential cookies provide you with services available through our Website and to enable you to use some of their features. Without these cookies, the services that you request via our Website may not be possible to provide. We only use these cookies to provide you with those services. |
| Functionality Cookies | Functionality cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make when you use it. The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personalized experience and to avoid you from having to re-select your preferences every time you use our Website. |
| Analytics and Performance Cookies | Analytics and performance cookies are used to collect information about traffic to our Website and how users use our Website. The information gathered may include the number of visitors to our Website, the websites that referred them to our Website, the pages they visited on our Website, what time of day they visited our Website, whether they have visited our Website before and other similar information. We use this information to help operate our Website more efficiently, to gather demographic information and to monitor the level of activity on our Website. |
| Targeting Cookies | Targeting cookies record your visit to our Website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We use this information to display our advertising to you on other websites. Third party advertisers also use these types of cookies to show advertisements for other businesses or organizations based on your online behavior and overall activity. |
We will ask for your consent to place cookies or other similar technologies on your device, except where they are essential for us to provide you with the service or functionality that you have requested.
You can also remove or reject cookies via your browser settings. To do this, follow the instructions provided in your browser (usually located within the “settings,” “help,” “tools” or “edit” facility). Many browsers are set to accept cookies until you change your settings. If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Website.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to help us understand traffic patterns and know if there are problems with our Website. We may also use embedded images in emails to track open rates for our mailings, so that we can tell which mailings appeal most to USA Swimming supporters. You may opt out of Google Analytics cookies or opt-out of having Google send your information to a third party by visiting Google’s opt-out page: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Facebook ID
We may use your email address and Facebook ID to participate in Facebook’s Custom Audience, Lookalike Audience, or other programs, which enable us to display campaign promotions to both existing and prospective members when they visit.
To do this, we may send a digital “fingerprint” of your email address to Facebook. We don’t send your actual email address, but instead a cryptographic piece of data that Facebook can use to find matches to email addresses in their
database. If you are a Facebook user and your USA Swimming email address “fingerprint” matches data at Facebook, USA Swimming campaign promotions may then appear when you access Facebook.
For more detailed information about how you can control the ads presented to you on Facebook, please see: https://www.facebook.com/help/1075880512458213/control-the-ads-you-see/ and Facebook’s data policy at https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.
Other Third Party Cookies
More generally, if you would like to opt-out of having interest-based information collected by third parties during your visits to our Website or other websites, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. Some third parties do not participate in the industry-developed opt-out website, in which case the best way to avoid third-party tracking of your online behavior may be through your browser settings and deletion of cookies.
