This Cookie Policy explains how Collect Chill uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit collectchill.com.
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how information may be collected and handled through the website.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites or services can store through your browser.
They can serve different purposes, such as keeping a website working, maintaining a login, remembering preferences, measuring how a site is used, or supporting advertising and affiliate attribution.
Similar technologies, such as local storage or other browser identifiers, may perform related functions. In this policy, we generally refer to these technologies together as “cookies.”
Types of cookies we may use
Depending on the features and services currently enabled on Collect Chill, cookies may fall into the following categories.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies support functions necessary for the website to operate properly.
For example, WordPress may use cookies for signed-in users and site administrators to support authentication, security, and dashboard preferences.
If comments are enabled, visitors may also have the option to save their name, email address, and website in cookies so they do not need to enter the same information again when leaving another comment.
Because these cookies support requested or necessary website functions, they may operate differently from optional analytics or advertising cookies.
Preference and functionality cookies
Some website features or third-party services may use cookies or browser storage to remember choices and provide additional functionality.
The specific cookies used depend on the features currently enabled on Collect Chill.
Analytics cookies
Collect Chill may use analytics services to understand how visitors find and use the website.
Analytics tools may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information such as pages visited, referral sources, approximate location, device or browser information, and interactions with the site.
We use this information to understand website performance and improve our content and user experience.
When analytics services are enabled, the relevant provider and cookie information should be reflected in this policy and, where required, in our cookie consent controls.
Advertising cookies
Collect Chill may display advertising directly or through third-party advertising providers.
Advertising services may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as delivering ads, measuring advertising performance, limiting how often an ad appears, detecting fraud, or personalizing advertising where permitted.
The cookies used depend on the advertising services currently active on Collect Chill.
Where applicable law requires consent, optional advertising cookies should not be activated until the visitor has made the required choice.
Embedded content
Collect Chill may occasionally include content provided by third-party websites, such as videos, social media posts, or other embedded features.
Those services may use cookies or similar technologies when their content is loaded or interacted with.
Third-party services control their own cookies and handle information according to their own privacy and cookie policies.
Affiliate links and cookies
Some links on Collect Chill are affiliate links.
When you click an affiliate link, you generally leave Collect Chill and visit a retailer, marketplace, or other third-party service.
That third party may set its own cookies or use other tracking technologies to identify that your visit came from Collect Chill and determine whether a later purchase or action qualifies for an affiliate commission.
These cookies are controlled by the retailer, affiliate network, or other third party rather than Collect Chill.
The duration and operation of affiliate cookies vary between programs.
For more information about how affiliate relationships work on this site, read our Affiliate Disclaimer.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies encountered while using Collect Chill may be provided by third-party services rather than directly by Collect Chill.
Depending on the services enabled on the website, these could include providers involved in:
- Analytics
- Advertising
- Embedded media
- Spam prevention
- Security
- Website functionality
Third parties are responsible for their own technologies and privacy practices.
Cookie consent
Where required, Collect Chill may provide a cookie banner or consent tool that allows visitors to make choices about non-essential cookies.
Depending on your location and the services used by the website, you may be able to accept, reject, or manage certain categories of cookies.
Essential cookies necessary for requested website functions may not require the same consent choices as optional analytics or advertising technologies.
Your available controls may change as the website’s services and legal requirements change.
How to manage cookies
Most web browsers allow you to view, block, limit, or delete cookies through browser settings.
You can usually find these controls in your browser’s privacy or security settings.
Blocking or deleting some cookies may affect how websites function. For example, disabling essential WordPress cookies may interfere with login, saved preferences, commenting, or other site features.
If Collect Chill provides a cookie consent tool, you may also be able to change certain choices through that tool.
How long cookies remain
Different cookies remain on a device for different periods.
Some are session cookies and disappear when the browser is closed. Others are persistent cookies and remain until they expire or are manually deleted.
For third-party cookies, retention periods are determined by the relevant service provider.
When Collect Chill uses specific analytics, advertising, or other cookie-based services, additional information about their cookies and retention periods may be provided through our consent tool or an updated version of this policy.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when the website adds or removes services, changes how cookies are used, or needs to reflect changes in privacy requirements.
The version published on this page is the current version.
