From time to time, we may use anonymous data, which does not identify you alone, or when combined with data from other parties. Examples of this anonymous data may include analytics or information collected from cookies.
The Website uses cookies to store visitors’ preferences, record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, ensure that visitors are not repeatedly sent the same banner ads, customize Website content based on visitors’ browser type or other information that the visitor sends. Cookies may also be used by third-party services, such as Google Analytics, as described herein.
Users may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies, by the Website, by using a corresponding setting of your internet browser and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. However, if users deactivate the setting of cookies in your Internet browser, not all functions of our Website may be entirely usable.
Please be advised that the practices described in this Privacy Policy apply only to information gathered through our Website.

The Website does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 16.

Advertising
The Website may engage in affiliate marketing, which is done by embedding tracking links into the Website. If you click on a link for an affiliate partnership, a cookie will be placed on your browser to track any sales for purposes of commissions. Affiliate links may be found in posts or on the side bar. Using an affiliate link does not cost you any additional money, but does provide a way for Lasting Thumbprints to receive a small amount of compensation when you use these links.
Lasting Thumbprints is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and links to Amazon.com. As part of this Amazon Associates program, the Website will post customized links, provided by Amazon, to track the referrals to their website. This program utilizes cookies to track visits for the purposes of assigning commission on these sales.
Thank you if you choose to use our affiliate links, every bit helps support our vision of helping families build a strong and lasting legacy!
I believe in honesty of relationship, opinion, and identity. Any advertising content in blog posts will be clearly identified as paid or sponsored content. I will only accept paid advertising and product review opportunities from companies who I think will be a blessing to my readers.
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use cookies, as noted above. I do not control the content of these ads or have any influence over the third parties whose advertising content is being served by these companies. I will do my best to block offensive ads that do not promote positive family values. If you see an ad that is objectionable, please let me know.
From time to time, the Website may engage in remarketing efforts with third-party companies, such as Google, Facebook, or Instagram, in order to market the Website. These companies use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the Website.
Each third-party service provider’s use of your personal information is dictated by their respective privacy policies. You are responsible for reviewing these third parties privacy policies to see how your personal information will be used by them.
You have my word that I will always give my honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on any sponsored or paid topics or products. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely my own. I will only promote products in which my family has had personal experience. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.
On our site, you may subscribe to our newsletter, which may be used for advertising purposes. All newsletters sent may contain tracking pixels. The pixel is embedded in emails and allows an analysis of the success of online marketing campaigns. Because of these tracking pixels, we may see if and when you open an email and which links within the email you click. Also, this allows the Website to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the user. This behavior will not be passed on to third parties.
Lasting Thumbprints does not knowingly contain any content which might present a conflict of interest.
Thank you for reading Lasing Thumbprints and joining us in the pursuit of a legacy worth leaving. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. May you go out with joy and be led forth in peace!
