Introduction

Welcome to spabysoul.com (“we,” “our,” or “us”). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, and the choices you have regarding their use.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled devices) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners. Cookies enable the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

Types of Cookies We Use

At spabysoul.com, we use the following types of cookies:

1. Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. These cookies enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work properly.

Examples include:

• Session cookies that maintain your browsing session
• Authentication cookies that verify your identity when you log in
• Security cookies that prevent fraudulent use

2. Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

We use Google Analytics, which is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our website. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

You can opt-out of having your activity on the website made available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

3. Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

Examples include:

• Cookies that remember your language preferences
• Cookies that remember your font size or color preferences
• Cookies that enable interactive content like videos or social media sharing buttons

4. Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google, Inc. Google AdSense uses cookies to personalize the ads that you see. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

Google AdSense may use the following cookies:
