1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage, device identifiers, and software development kits that help websites and apps remember information or understand how services are used.

2. How We Use Cookies

ProPath uses cookies and similar technologies on the website to:

• ✓ Load the website, remember basic preferences, and remember cookie consent choices where a consent tool is offered.
• ✓ Support forms used for Early Access, contact, business listing, partner, and location report submissions.
• ✓ Protect the website, forms, and users from spam, misuse, fraud, or security issues.
• ✓ Measure website traffic, page performance, browser type, device type, and general usage trends.
• ✓ Display ads on the website, including ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites (see Section 5).

3. Types of Cookies We Use

• ✓ Essential cookies that allow the website to load, secure forms, and provide core functionality.
• ✓ Performance and analytics cookies that help us understand visits, traffic sources, page usage, and technical performance.
• ✓ Functionality cookies that remember preferences and make forms easier to use.
• ✓ Security cookies that help detect spam, misuse, automated activity, or suspicious behavior.
• ✓ Advertising cookies placed by Google and its partners to serve and measure ads on the website, including personalized ads.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party providers that help ProPath run the website, including:

• ✓ Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, for traffic and usage measurement.
• ✓ Google AdSense, for displaying and measuring ads.
• ✓ Website hosting, caching, security, and spam-prevention providers.

These providers process limited technical and usage information under their own privacy and cookie practices. ProPath does not control every cookie these services set. You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services in Google's Partner Sites policy.

5. Analytics and Advertising

Analytics

Analytics information may include pages visited, time on page, referring pages, browser type, device type, approximate region derived from IP address, and other general usage data. We use it to improve the website, troubleshoot performance, and understand interest in ProPath.

Advertising (website only)

The ProPath website uses third-party vendors, including Google, to serve ads. These vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to pro-path.app and other sites on the Internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.

6. Forms and Submissions

Website forms may use cookies or similar technologies to submit information, prevent spam, and confirm that submissions are processed correctly. Information you submit through forms is covered by our Privacy Policy.

7. The ProPath App

The ProPath mobile app does not use cookies and does not show third-party ads. Instead, it uses storage on your device to remember your favorites, recently viewed stations, recent searches, and people whose reports you have chosen to hide, and to store a sign-in token that keeps you signed in.

The app does not use analytics or advertising tools, does not use advertising identifiers, and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

Location and camera features depend on the permissions you grant, and you can change them at any time in your device settings. Deleting the app removes the data it stores on your device.

8. Your Cookie Choices

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block, delete, or receive alerts about cookies. If you block certain cookies, some website features, forms, or preferences may not work properly.

If a cookie consent banner or preferences tool is available on the website, you can use it to manage supported cookie categories. You can also manage personalized ads using the links in Section 5.

9. Do Not Track and Browser Signals

Some browsers offer Do Not Track or similar privacy signals. Because there is not yet a consistent industry standard for responding to these signals, ProPath may not respond to every browser signal in the same way. Where legally required, we honor applicable privacy preference signals.

10. Updates to This Policy

ProPath may update this Cookie Policy as the website, app, service providers, analytics tools, or legal requirements change. Updates are posted on this page with the latest revision date.
