Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how MarryByState (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit marrybystate.site (the “Site”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

Information We Collect

MarryByState is a static reference website. We do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers through our pages. We do not have user accounts, comment forms, or newsletter signups on the main site. The only personal information we receive is if you voluntarily email us at our contact address.

Analytics and Cookies

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies — small text files placed on your device — to help us understand how visitors use our site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Site, compiling reports on website activity for us, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

Third-Party Vendors and Advertising

We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements on the Site. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

DoubleClick Cookie

Google’s DoubleClick cookie is used by Google in the ads served on publisher websites displaying AdSense for content ads. When users visit an AdSense publisher’s website and either view or click on an ad, a cookie may be dropped on that end user’s browser.

Your Choices: Opting Out of Personalized Advertising

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ (for US users) or https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/ (for EU users). You can also opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Users can also manage their ad preferences directly in their Google account settings at https://adssettings.google.com/.

Data Retention

Google Analytics data is retained for 26 months, after which it is automatically deleted. We do not maintain our own database of visitor information.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
