Below you’ll find information describing our most common uses of cookies, which are an inherent part of our production, communication and distribution processes and have enabled us to better serve our users.

What’s a cookie? A cookie is a small file that is sent to your computer by a site’s server. A cookie can be a record of your visit to our Web sites, including information such as your username, registration information, time of last visit, pages viewed, etc. Cookies created by the servers of one site can be retrieved only by that site’s servers.

Powerful Living Partners LLC and Soup Bean Survival both accomplish this in many ways, using several different cookies. When you first enter the website, for example, we may use a test cookie to confirm your browser’s ability to retain cookies. Other cookies that you might receive are from us or our third-party service providers or third-party network advertisers. These network advertisers may use their own cookies in order to serve ads on our Web sites, to reduce the likelihood that you see the same ads over and over again.

Some of the advantages of cookies include:

Faster, more convenient access. We can deliver customized information and store your settings (such as preferences and account information) more efficiently.

Better information. Powerful Living Partners LLC wants to provide features and services in which you are interested. Through the use of cookies, we can determine which features are most popular with subscribers on an aggregate basis and thus better serve your needs by developing new features and services in response to our analysis of usage of the website.

More efficient ad processing. Cookies enable us to streamline our ad presentations.

Will the cookies we send to your devices go away? Some cookies are long term. Some cookies expire after a short period of time. Cookies are small files (just a few hundred bytes) and should not pose any significant disk-space concerns. You are, of course, free to clear cookies from your devices at any time.

Can you set your browsers to not accept cookies or to alert you each time you receive one? Most browsers can be set to alert users each time a cookie is passed to the applicable device.
