Privacy Policy

The Chattooga Club’s Privacy Policy (“Policy”) sets out what information we collect, how we collect it, and what we do with it. Please contact us at 1 Pavilion Way, Cashiers, North Carolina, 28717, (828) 743-3640, or through our website if you have any questions or would like additional information regarding this Policy. We may update this Policy from time to time, so please check this Policy periodically for changes.

What Information Do We Collect

We are committed to making your online experience with our website informative and relevant. To achieve this, we collect certain information when you visit this website, such as your IP address, the type of internet browser you are using, operating system, referring URLs, information on actions taken on the website, how many users visited our website and dates and times of website visits. By collecting this information, we learn how to best tailor this website to our visitors. We collect this information by placing “cookies” in your browser, as explained below in the Cookie Policy.

Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies (collectively, “Cookie(s)”) are used when you visit our website, including emails, and other applications owned and operated by us as well as any other services that display this Cookie Policy. This policy explains what these technologies are and why they are used, as well as your right to control their use.

1. What Is A Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file (often including a unique identifier), that is sent to a user’s browser from a website’s computers and stored on a user’s computer’s hard drive or on a tablet or mobile device (collectively, “Computer”). A Cookie stores a small amount of data on your Computer about your visit to the website.

We may also use “web beacons” (also known as “clear GIFs” or “pixel tags”) or similar technologies on our website to enable us to know whether you have visited a web page or received a message. A web beacon is typically a one-pixel, transparent image (although it can be a visible image as well), located on a web page or in an email or other type of message, which is retrieved from a remote website on the internet enabling the verification of an individual’s viewing or receipt of a web page or message. A web beacon helps us to understand whether you came to our website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, measure successes of email marketing campaigns and improve our website performance. They may also enable us to relate your viewing or receipt of a web page or message to other information about you, including your personal information. In many instances, web beacons rely on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

We place and access Cookies on your Computer; these Cookies are known as “first-party Cookies.” Cookies may also be placed and accessed by some of our third-party vendors, which are known as “third-party Cookies” and are described below. Some Cookies are “session Cookies,” which means that they are temporary Cookies that are only stored on your device while you are visiting our Site. Other Cookies are “persistent Cookies,” which means that they are stored on your device for a period of time after you leave our website.

You can choose whether to accept Cookies by changing the settings on your browser. However, if you disable this function (or keep this function disabled, as set by default by certain browsers), your experience on the website may be diminished and some features may not work as intended.

2. What Cookies Do We Use?

Below we list the different types of Cookies that are used on the website that you are visiting.

To the extent any personal information is collected through first-party Cookies, our Privacy Policy applies and complements this Cookie Policy. Personal information collected through a third-party Cookie is subject to the privacy policy of that third party, and not our Privacy Policy.

Essential Cookies

Analytics Cookies

Analytics Cookies collect information about your use of the website, and enable us to improve the way it works. For example, Analytics Cookies show us which are the most frequently visited pages on the website, help us record any difficulties you have with the website, and show us whether our advertising is effective or not. Analytics Cookies allow us to see the overall patterns of usage on the website, rather than the usage of a single person. We use information from Analytics Cookies to analyze the website traffic, but we do not examine this information for individually identifying information.

Advertising Cookies

Advertising Cookies are set to manage our advertising. These Cookies collect information about your activities on this website and other websites to provide you targeted advertising. In the E.E.A. advertising is not personalized or targeted based on your activities.
