Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 12, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how MASCORI, doing business as Mascori (“Mascori,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies when you access our website, marketplace, Business Directory, Academy, Magazine, artificial intelligence features, memberships, and related services collectively referred to as the “Platform.”
This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. They allow websites to remember information about your visit and help provide, protect, analyze, and improve online services.
Cookies may be placed directly by Mascori as “first-party cookies” or by an outside service provider as “third-party cookies.”

2. Similar Technologies

Mascori and its service providers may also use pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits, session identifiers, and similar technologies.
For simplicity, this Policy refers to these technologies collectively as “cookies.”

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for important Platform functions, including:

1. Account login and authentication.

2. Security and fraud prevention.

3. Shopping carts and checkout.

4. Payment processing.

5. Membership and subscription management.

6. Saving cookie-consent choices.

7. Maintaining sessions and balancing Platform traffic.

Because these cookies are necessary to provide services you request, they generally cannot be disabled through our cookie controls.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices and provide enhanced features, such as:

1. Language selection.

2. Location or region preferences.

3. Display and accessibility settings.

4. Saved searches or recently viewed content.

5. Personalized Platform settings.

Disabling these cookies may reduce the availability of certain features.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use Mascori. They may collect information about:

1. Pages and features visited.

2. Time spent on the Platform.

3. Referring websites.

4. Navigation and interaction patterns.

5. Browser and device characteristics.

6. Errors and performance problems.

We use this information to measure traffic, troubleshoot problems, and improve the Platform.

Advertising and Targeting Cookies

If used, these cookies may help Mascori or its advertising partners:

1. Deliver advertisements.

2. Measure advertising performance.

3. Limit how frequently advertisements appear.

4. Understand interactions with advertisements.

5. Personalize marketing based on activity across websites or services.

These cookies will be used only as described in our consent tools and Privacy Policy.

Current advertising providers: “NONE AT THIS TIME”.

4. Payment and Stripe Cookies

Mascori uses Stripe and may use Stripe Connect, Stripe Billing, or related services for checkout, fraud prevention, recurring memberships, vendor payments, and other transactions.
Stripe may place cookies or use similar technologies to authenticate users, process payments, remember payment preferences, prevent fraud, and protect transactions.
Stripe controls its own cookies and processes information according to its privacy and cookie notices.

5. Third-Party Content and Services

Some Platform features may include content or services from third parties, such as:

1. Payment processors.

2. AI technology providers.

3. Video or media players.

4. Social media services.

5. Analytics providers.

6. Advertising networks.

7. Customer-support tools.

8. Print-on-demand, shipping, or fulfillment services.

These providers may place cookies when you interact with their features. Mascori does not control all third-party cookies. Review the provider’s policies for additional information.

6. Cookie Duration

Cookies may be:

1. Session cookies, which generally expire when you close your browser.

2. Persistent cookies, which remain for a specified period or until deleted.

Expiration periods depend on each cookie’s purpose and provider. Mascori will not retain cookie-derived information longer than reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy.

7. Your Cookie Choices

When required, Mascori will display a cookie banner or preference center that allows you to accept, reject, or manage optional cookies.
Your choices apply to the browser and device used when making the selection. You may need to update your choices separately on other browsers or devices.
Strictly necessary cookies cannot normally be disabled through the preference center because the Platform may not function properly without them.

8. Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or receive alerts about cookies. Instructions are normally available in your browser’s privacy or security settings.
Blocking all cookies may prevent account login, checkout, shopping-cart functions, saved preferences, and other Platform features from operating correctly.

9. Global Privacy Control

Where required by applicable law, Mascori will recognize supported opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for the browser or device transmitting the signal.
A Global Privacy Control signal may not disable cookies that are strictly necessary to operate the Platform.

10. Do Not Track

Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not a universally adopted standard for responding to all Do Not Track signals, Mascori may not respond to those signals unless required by law.
This is separate from legally recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control.

11. Sale or Sharing of Information

Mascori does not receive money simply for allowing another company to place a cookie. However, certain advertising or analytics technologies may be legally classified as selling or sharing personal information.

Select and verify one of the following before publication:

• Mascori does not sell or share personal information through cookies as those terms are defined under California law.

Additional information appears in our Privacy Policy.
