Cookie Policy
Last Updated: July 1, 2026
Moon Valley Country Club (“Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) uses cookies and related technologies on our website at https://www.moonvalleycc.com (the “Website”) to recognize visitors and remember their choices. This policy walks through what those technologies are, the purposes we put them to, and how you can manage them.
Some cookies may gather information that counts as personal on its own, or that becomes personal once combined with other data we hold.
About cookies
A cookie is a small text file saved to your computer or mobile device when you load a website. Site operators rely on them to keep their sites running, improve performance, and gather usage statistics.
We distinguish between two kinds. Cookies that we set directly are “first-party” cookies. Cookies set by other organizations whose services appear on our site are “third-party” cookies, and they power features like analytics, embedded content, and advertising. Because those organizations can read their own cookies across multiple sites, they may recognize your device elsewhere on the web as well.
The purposes we use cookies for
Our cookies serve a mix of purposes. A handful are indispensable — without them the Website won’t run properly — and these are the “essential” or “strictly necessary” ones. The rest help us learn about visitor interests and tailor the experience, or are placed by outside providers for analytics, advertising, and similar ends, as broken down below.
Categories of cookies on our Website
Exactly which cookies you encounter depends on the pages you browse, but they generally fall into four groups:
• Strictly necessary — keep the Website working and secure and can’t be turned off. Our spam- and bot-defense tools (for instance, Google reCAPTCHA) and our consent tool sit here.
• Analytics and performance — show us how the site is used so we can refine it; Google Analytics is our main example.
• Functional — power conveniences like embedded video (YouTube, Vimeo), web fonts, and social sharing.
• Advertising — set by partners such as Google Ads, Facebook, and LinkedIn to tailor and measure the ads you see.
You can view the live, itemized list of the cookies currently in use — along with their individual purposes — through the cookie settings panel on our Website.
Managing your cookie choices
Accepting or declining cookies is up to you. Use the cookie settings panel to switch categories on or off; the one exception is the strictly necessary set, which stays on because the Website depends on it.
You can open that panel from the consent banner on our Website. Declining cookies won’t lock you out of the site, but a few features or sections may behave differently or stop working. Your browser is another place to allow or block cookies.
Managing cookies in your browser
Every browser handles this a little differently, so the quickest route is your browser’s own help pages. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, and Opera all document how to review and clear cookies in their settings.
If your concern is advertising specifically, several industry groups run opt-out tools for interest-based ads:
• Digital Advertising Alliance — optout.aboutads.info
• Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada — youradchoices.ca
• European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance — youronlinechoices.eu
Beyond cookies: pixels and other markers
Cookies aren’t the only tracking method we might use. We occasionally rely on related tools such as web beacons — also labeled tracking pixels or clear gifs — which are minuscule image files with a built-in identifier. They register when a page or an email of ours is opened, which lets us do things like map how visitors travel through the site, coordinate with cookies, spot whether a visit began from an ad elsewhere, fine-tune performance, and judge email campaign results. Since these tools usually piggyback on cookies, switching cookies off blunts them too.
Flash cookies and Local Shared Objects
The Website may also make use of “Flash cookies” — sometimes called Local Shared Objects, or LSOs — to store details about how you use our services, help detect fraud, and support other operational needs.
To stop Flash cookies from being saved, open your Flash player’s Website Storage Settings Panel and block them there. The Global Storage Settings Panel offers further controls, including removing Flash cookies already stored, preventing new LSOs from being set without your permission, and (on Flash Player 8 and later) blocking Flash cookies that don’t originate from the page’s own operator.
Bear in mind that clamping down on Flash cookies can degrade or disable certain Flash-based features, possibly including ones tied to our services or content.
Interest-based advertising
Outside advertisers may drop cookies on your device to run ads through our Website. Drawing on what they learn about your browsing here and on other sites, they aim to surface goods and services you’re more likely to care about, and they lean on cookies or web beacons to check how those ads land. On their own, the details collected this way can’t pin down your name or contact information unless you decide to share them.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may refresh this policy now and then — for example, when the cookies we run change, or to keep pace with operational, legal, or regulatory shifts. Checking back occasionally is the best way to stay current. The “Last Updated” date above always reflects the most recent revision.
