In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it

What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are
widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide
reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Ellie the Baby Cat) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties
other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or
functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The
parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and
also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for
our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable
us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties
serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail
below.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your
preferences in the Cookie Preference Center. The Cookie Preference Center allows you to select which categories of
cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with
services.
The Cookie Preference Center can be found in the notification banner and on our Website. If you choose to reject
cookies, you may still use our Website though your access to some functionality and areas of our Website may be
restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are
described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific
Online Properties you visit):

How can I control cookies on my browser?
As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should
visit your browser's help menu for more information. The following is information about how to manage cookies on the
most popular browsers:
In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out
more information, please visit:
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from
time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that
contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email
including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a
website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an
online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of
email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so
declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things,
collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block
Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the
Website Storage Settings Panel
. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the
Global Storage Settings Panel
and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete
existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed
on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not
being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).
Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the
functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our
services or online content.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These
companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements
about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the
effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about
your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential
interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name,
contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use
or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay
informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
