Cookie Settings

We use two analytics tools, and only if you accept them. Beyond those, the cookies here belong to the tools you use to reach us: the contact form, the tour booking calendar and the chat bubble. One of those brings a Meta pixel with it that is not ours and that we cannot switch off, which section 4 explains. We run no advertising of our own.

Strictly necessary

Always on

Keeps the site working: serving pages, balancing load, and remembering the choice you make on this page.

  • Your cookie preference, stored in your own browser and never sent to us
  • Security and load balancing set by our hosting provider

Contact form, booking calendar and chat

Always on

Runs the three ways to reach us from the site: the contact form and the tour booking calendar, both GoHighLevel widgets served from link.usc-ny.org, and the chat bubble in the corner. They load with the page because they are how you get in touch, so they are treated as part of the site working rather than as an optional extra.

  • GoHighLevel session and anti-spam cookies, set once a form loads
  • Form state, so a half-finished submission survives a page reload
  • The chat bubble loads nothing at all until you open it
  • Prefer not to use any of them? Call +1 (631) 581-0194, which reaches the same people.

What a cookie does

A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser. It lets a site recognize your browser on a later visit. Related technologies, such as local storage, do the same job.

What this site uses today

Two analytics tools, and no advertising pixel or social media tracker of our own. Google Analytics counts page views and how people move through the site; Microsoft Clarity records how a page is used, so we can see where it confuses people. Both are loaded through a Google Tag Manager container, which is not itself a tracker.

Neither one loads until you accept. Decline, or switch Analytics off below, and no request is made to either service at all. Neither is ever given your name, your email address, or anything you type into a form, and neither is used to work out who you are. Clarity masks every input box and drop-down menu in every one of its modes, which is not a setting we can change.

The only other thing we store in your browser is the preference you set on this page. Section 4 covers the one tracker that arrives inside somebody else's frame.

The exception is the tools you use to contact us. The contact form and the tour booking calendar are GoHighLevel widgets, and the chat bubble is run by a marketing contractor working with the center; each sets cookies of its own. They are listed below as strictly necessary because they are how the site lets you reach us, and they load with the page rather than waiting to be switched on. If you would rather not use any of them, call +1 (631) 581-0194.

One tracker we do not control

The GoHighLevel widgets load a Meta (Facebook) pixel inside their own frame. It runs on the Contact and Schedule a Tour pages, the only two pages carrying a widget, and nowhere else. It is GoHighLevel's, it is inside their frame rather than in our page, and the controls above cannot switch it off.

We are telling you because it is there, not because we want it. If you would rather not meet it at all, call +1 (631) 581-0194 or write to info@usc-ny.org: neither goes anywhere near it.

Managing cookies in your browser

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings, independently of the controls on this page. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site.

Your preference here is stored per browser and per device, so setting it on a phone does not set it on a laptop.
