Cookies, pixels and advertising measurement

This section was last updated October 10, 2026.

What we use

Tradesfluence, a Z Media Group LLC company uses the following technologies on tradesfluence.com:

  • Site analytics. Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC) records the pages you view, how you arrived (for example a search, a social post or an ad), your general location (city or region, estimated from your IP address), and your device and browser type.
  • First-party analytics. Our website platform's own measurement tool stores a random identifier in your browser's local storage so visits and sessions can be counted. It does not set advertising cookies. Your IP address is converted into a one-way code that changes every day and is used only to remove duplicate visits; the IP address itself is not stored.

These tools may set cookies or similar identifiers in your browser, including identifiers that the Google platforms use to recognize the same browser across different websites. Our servers do not report your actions on this site to advertising platforms.

Why we use them

  • To measure whether our advertising works, so we can stop paying for ads that do not.
  • To understand which pages and content people find useful.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not sell or rent our contact lists.
  • We do not send the platforms your name, the content of your messages or form answers, or your payment card details.
  • We do not use these tools to target ads at children under 13.

Please note: some U.S. state privacy laws treat letting an advertising or analytics platform collect information through a tag on our site, for advertising, as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, even when no money changes hands. Where those laws apply, you have the right to opt out, as described below.

Your choices

  • Opt out of targeted advertising. Use the "Your Privacy Choices" link at the bottom of every page ("Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information"). When you opt out, this site stops loading Google Analytics in that browser. We also treat a Global Privacy Control signal sent by your browser as a request to opt out.
  • Browser controls. You can block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Blocking them does not stop the site from working.
  • Platform settings. You can manage how each platform uses this data in your account settings: Google (myadcenter.google.com). Google offers a browser opt-out add-on for Google Analytics at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
  • Industry opt-outs. optout.aboutads.info and optout.networkadvertising.org.

Each platform uses the information it receives under its own privacy policy, which we do not control: Google (policies.google.com/privacy).

Retention

First-party analytics records are deleted after about 13 months. The advertising and analytics platforms keep the data they receive for as long as their own policies allow.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live (for example California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Oregon or other states with consumer privacy laws), you may have the right to:

  • know what personal information we collect, use and disclose, and get a copy of it;
  • ask us to correct or delete it;
  • opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and of targeted advertising;
  • appeal our decision on your request.

To make a request, email [email protected]. We will verify your request before acting on it, and we will not treat you differently for using these rights. You may use an authorized agent.
