Cookie Policy
Last updated October 16, 2026
Effective date: October 16, 2026. This policy explains cookies and similar browser storage used on Karen Bernard School of Dance's website.
What the website uses and why
The website automatically collects your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and time on site. The tools listed below support website features, shopping, spam protection, security, analytics, and cookie choices.
Google Analytics measures how you find and use the website. Pressable also supplies Gauges browser-based analytics for hosting statistics. Gauges data appears in the Pressable control panel.
Your cookie choices
Analytics and advertising tools stay off until you click "Accept all" on the cookie banner or scroll the page while the banner is showing. Scrolling while the banner shows counts as accepting these tools.
Use the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of any page to switch analytics or advertising cookies off, or back on, at any time.
The cookie banner remembers your choices. If you allow analytics, your browser may also send this website a list of the names of cookies and similar storage it holds for this site, at most once a day. It never sends their contents for this report. The list is not stored with anything that identifies you. It is used only to keep this Cookie Policy accurate.
Embedded content and outside services
Some pages include embedded content, such as videos, maps, social media posts or reviews. Loading it sends request information, such as your IP address and browser information, to its provider. The provider may use cookies or browser storage. Embedded content operates separately from the optional analytics and advertising controls. Google Maps receives your IP address and may set its own cookies when the map loads.
Your browser requests website typefaces from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address. Some images, files and code libraries also load from outside services. Those services receive your IP address and browser details.
