Effective Date: February 18, 2026

1. 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 to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
2. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons:
- Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features.
- Performance and Analytics: These cookies help us understand how visitors use our site (e.g., which baby gear reviews are most popular) so we can improve our content.
- Affiliate Tracking (Crucial): As an Amazon Associate, we use tracking cookies. When you click on a link to a product on Amazon, a cookie is stored in your browser for 24 hours. If you make a purchase within that window, the cookie tells Amazon that you came from our site so we can earn a small commission.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
| Cookie Type | Purpose |
| Strictly Necessary | Required for the website to function (security, load balancing). |
| Analytics (Google) | Collects anonymous data about site traffic and user behavior. |
| Amazon Affiliate | Identifies our “Associate ID” to Amazon to track referred sales. |
| Social Media | Used if you share our content on Facebook, Pinterest, or X. |
4. How Long Do Cookies Last?
- Session Cookies: These are temporary and expire once you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These stay on your device for a set period (for example, the Amazon affiliate cookie typically lasts for 24 hours unless you add an item to your cart, which can extend the window).
5. How Can I Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.
- Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality may be restricted.
- Opt-Out: You can visit the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page to opt-out of many third-party advertising cookies.
