Cookie Policy

Understanding how we use cookies to enhance your GreenZone experience and protect your preferences.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. These files contain information that helps websites remember your preferences, improve functionality, and provide a more personalized browsing experience. At GreenZone, we use cookies responsibly to enhance your interaction with our fitness programs and ensure our website works smoothly across all your devices.

Cookies cannot harm your computer or mobile device, access your personal files, or install software. They simply store small amounts of data that help us understand how you use our website and remember your preferences between visits, making your experience more convenient and efficient.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies: These are necessary for our website to function properly and cannot be disabled. They enable basic features like page navigation, access to secure areas of our website, and form submissions. Without these cookies, services you have requested, such as Registration for programs or accessing member content, cannot be provided.

Preference Cookies: These cookies remember your choices and settings to provide a more personalized experience. They store information about your preferred language, region, age group selections, and accessibility options. This helps us display content that is most relevant to your fitness goals and ensures consistent formatting preferences across your visits.

Analytics Cookies: We use these cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website, which pages are most popular, and how long people spend engaging with our content. This information helps us improve our programs, identify technical issues, and create better resources for our community members. All analytics data is aggregated and anonymous.

Functional Cookies: These enhance your experience by enabling advanced features like video playback, interactive content, social sharing capabilities, and personalized program recommendations. While not essential for basic site function, they significantly improve your ability to engage with our wellness resources and community features.

How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

Session Cookies: These temporary cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They help maintain your session during a single visit, ensuring smooth navigation between pages and preserving form data while you browse our programs and resources.

Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a predetermined period, typically ranging from a few days to several months. They remember your login status, preferences, and settings between visits, so you do not need to re-enter information each time you return to GreenZone. These cookies make your experience more convenient and personalized.

All persistent cookies used by GreenZone have reasonable expiration dates and are regularly reviewed to ensure they remain necessary and appropriate. You can clear these cookies at any time through your browser settings if you prefer to start fresh.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have full control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies or to alert you when websites want to store cookies. Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser, but options are typically found in the privacy or security settings section.

While you can disable most cookies, please note that doing so may affect your ability to use certain features of our website. For example, disabling preference cookies means you will need to re-enter your settings each visit, and functional cookies are necessary for interactive content and program recommendations.

GreenZone respects your choices regarding cookies and provides clear information about what each type does, so you can make informed decisions about your privacy preferences while still enjoying our wellness programs and community features.

Third-Party Cookies and Services

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services that we use to enhance your experience. These might include analytics providers that help us understand website usage patterns, content delivery networks that ensure fast page loading, or embedded content from trusted partners like video hosting services that provide our exercise demonstrations.

We carefully select all third-party services and ensure they meet our privacy standards before integration. These services may have their own cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them if you want a complete understanding of all cookies that might be set during your visit to GreenZone.

We do not allow third-party advertising cookies or tracking cookies that follow you across other websites. Our focus remains on providing you with relevant, helpful content related to fitness and wellness for mature adults, not on commercial advertising or invasive tracking practices.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

As we continue to improve our services and adapt to changing technology and privacy regulations, we may update this cookie policy periodically. Any significant changes will be communicated through our website and via email to registered members, giving you time to review the modifications and understand how they might affect you.

We are committed to transparency about our data practices and will always provide clear, understandable information about how we use cookies and other technologies to enhance your GreenZone experience. Your trust is fundamental to our mission of supporting healthy, active aging.

If you have questions about our use of cookies or need assistance managing your preferences, please contact our support team through the contact form on our website. We are here to help ensure your privacy preferences are respected while you enjoy all that GreenZone has to offer.
