Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Dynamic Dance Center ("DDC," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information more broadly.
We want you to understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control them. By continuing to use our website, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy, except where you have disabled them through your browser or device settings (where possible).
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and give site owners information about how people use the site. Similar technologies include pixel tags, local storage, and scripts that store or access information on your device—this policy refers to all of these as "cookies" for simplicity.
How we use cookies
Dynamic Dance Center uses cookies and similar technologies to run and improve our public website, remember choices you make (such as whether you have accepted a notice), keep our site secure, and understand how visitors use our pages so we can enhance content and navigation. We do not use cookies to sell your personal information.
Types of cookies you may see on our site
Depending on how our website is configured from time to time, the following categories may apply. Not every category may be active on every visit.
- Strictly necessary. These cookies are required for the website to function—for example, to load pages correctly, maintain security, or remember cookie consent choices where we offer them. You cannot turn these off through our site without affecting how the site works.
- Functional. These help us remember preferences (such as region or accessibility choices) and improve your experience. If you disable them, some features may not work as intended.
- Analytics and performance. These help us understand how visitors use our site—such as which pages are viewed most often—so we can improve layout and content. Where we use third-party analytics, those providers may set their own cookies subject to their policies.
- Marketing (if used). If we use cookies for advertising or remarketing, we will do so in line with applicable law and any consent requirements. You may opt out of certain advertising cookies through industry tools or your browser settings, as described below.
Third parties and registration portals
Our website may link to or embed services operated by others—for example, maps, scheduling or registration systems (such as our class registration partner), social media, or video hosts. When you follow a link to another site or interact with an embedded tool, that third party may place its own cookies. We do not control those cookies. Please review the third party's privacy and cookie notices for information about their practices.
How long cookies last
Some cookies are "session" cookies that expire when you close your browser. Others are "persistent" and remain for a set period (for example, days or months) unless you delete them. Retention periods vary by cookie and purpose; third-party providers set their own expiration in line with their policies.
Your choices: managing cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, block third-party cookies only, or alert you when a cookie is being set. If you block all cookies, parts of our website may not work properly.
If we provide a cookie banner or preference center, you can use it to accept or reject optional categories where offered. You can change your mind later by clearing cookies or adjusting the same controls when you return.
For more detail on how we use personal data, including data collected through cookies, see our Privacy Policy.
Virginia residents
If you are a Virginia resident, you may have rights under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), including the right to opt out of certain processing such as targeted advertising, sale of personal data, or profiling in some cases. We do not sell your personal information for money. If we use non-essential cookies that qualify as targeted advertising under applicable law, you may exercise opt-out rights as described in our Privacy Policy or by contacting us.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this policy when our practices or the site changes. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the "Current as of" date above. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
