Cookie Notice
How thetnm.org uses cookies, pixels, and similar technologies, and how you control them. This Notice expands on Section 9 of our Privacy Policy.
What these technologies are
Like most websites, thetnm.org uses cookies and similar technologies, small files and identifiers stored on your device, along with pixels, web beacons, software development kits, and local storage, to operate the site, keep your session secure, remember your preferences, measure engagement, and improve performance. Some are set by TNM (first-party) and some by the service providers that help us run the site.
The categories we use
- Strictly necessary. Authentication, security, fraud prevention, billing, load balancing, and accessibility. These keep the site working and cannot be switched off without breaking core functionality.
- Functional. Remember your preferences, such as your language and your light or dark theme.
- Analytics. Help us understand, in aggregate, which pages are read, how the site performs, and where it can be improved. We use Google Analytics for this, with Google’s advertising features turned off (see Google Analytics, with advertising features off below), and we keep this data pseudonymized or aggregate wherever we can.
- Limited remarketing, where used, lets TNM deliver its own messages to its own supporters on platforms such as Meta, Google, and X. We do not engage in cross-context behavioral advertising based on personal information collected from another business’s website or service.
Video and session activity
Where the site embeds video, we use measurement technology to understand viewing engagement. By using the video features you consent to disclosure of your video-viewing activity to TNM’s service providers for analytics, security, and product-improvement purposes. We and our service providers may also record session activity, pages, clicks, interactions, IP address, device and browser information, for quality assurance, security, fraud prevention, and product improvement. You may withdraw consent by clearing cookies, disabling third-party trackers in your browser, or writing [email protected].
Google Analytics, with advertising features off
We use Google Analytics to measure how the site is used. Google’s Advertising Features, including Google Signals, are turned off. We do not permit ad personalization, we do not send Google advertising identifiers, and we do not ask Google to associate your visit with a signed-in Google account. The only Google consent category we enable is analytics storage, so what we receive is aggregate traffic measurement: how many people read a page, and which pages they arrived from. We do not receive demographics or cross-device identity, and we do not engage in cross-context behavioral advertising.
You can control or opt out of this at any time:
- Manage Ads Personalization and review what Google holds about you at Google My Ad Center and My Activity.
- Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to stop Google Analytics on every site you visit.
- Decline analytics cookies in your browser, or send the Global Privacy Control signal, which we honor as described below.
How to control cookies
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can set most browsers to warn you before accepting cookies or to refuse them. Disabling certain cookies may affect how the site functions for you. Mobile devices offer similar controls in their settings.
Global Privacy Control and opt-out signals
Where you transmit a recognized opt-out preference signal, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC), we treat that signal as an opt-out of any sale of personal information, any sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and any targeted advertising, for the browser that sends it. We honor the GPC on thetnm.org regardless of whether a particular law requires it. We do not respond to legacy “Do Not Track” browser signals, because there is no industry-standard interpretation of them.
Retention and changes
Cookies and browser identifiers are retained as set in the cookie configuration, generally up to twenty-four (24) months. We may update this Notice from time to time; when we do, we will update the Effective date above.
