Cookie Policy
Effective date: [EFFECTIVE_DATE]
This Cookie Policy explains how [SITE_NAME] ([DOMAIN]) uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels. They help websites work, remember your preferences and understand how the site is used.
Types of cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These are needed for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. For example, we store your cookie consent choice in your browser's local storage (key: giv-cookie-consent) so we don't ask you again on every page. Our host, Netlify, may also use technical cookies for security and load balancing.
Analytics cookies (only with your consent)
If you click "Accept," we may load analytics tools such as Google Analytics, which set cookies (for example _ga and _ga_*) to count visits and see which pages are popular. This information is aggregated. If you click "Decline," analytics scripts are never loaded.
Affiliate cookies (set by retailers)
When you click an affiliate link, such as a "Check Price on Amazon" button, and arrive at the retailer's website, that retailer (for example Amazon) may place a cookie on your device. This cookie tells the retailer that you were referred by [SITE_NAME] so we can earn a commission on qualifying purchases. These cookies are set on the retailer's website and governed by the retailer's cookie and privacy policies.
Third-party services
When you click a Pinterest, Facebook or X share button, you leave our Site and that service may set its own cookies. Google Fonts may receive technical information when fonts load.
How to manage cookies
- On our Site: click "Cookie settings" in the footer at any time to change your choice.
- In your browser: most browsers let you view, block and delete cookies in their settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how some websites work.
- Analytics opt-out: you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Affiliate cookies: you can clear cookies after shopping or block third-party cookies in your browser. This won't affect your purchase, but we may not receive credit for the referral.
Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy as our Site or the law changes. Please check this page from time to time.
