- What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, mobile device, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies allow websites to recognize a device, remember preferences, maintain shopping sessions, understand how visitors use the website, and support advertising and marketing activities.
We may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, web beacons, local storage, software development kits, and other tracking tools. References to “cookies” in this policy include these similar technologies unless otherwise stated.
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies, which expire when you close your browser; or
- Persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
Cookies may also be:
- First-party cookies, which are placed directly by Nathan the CatLady; or

- Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the Site to function and generally cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tool. They may support functions such as security, network management, shopping-cart activity, checkout, payment processing, account access, fraud prevention, and storing your privacy choices.
You may be able to block these cookies through your browser, but doing so may prevent portions of the Site from functioning properly.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features. These cookies may remember information such as your region, display preferences, form selections, or other settings.
If you disable these cookies, some features may not work as intended.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site. They may collect information about pages viewed, links selected, time spent on the Site, referring websites, browser type, device type, approximate location, and technical errors.
We use this information to evaluate Site traffic, identify popular content, improve performance, and understand how our services are being used. Information collected through these tools may be aggregated or associated with a device or browser identifier.
Advertising and Targeting Cookies
We and our advertising or social-media partners may use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies to measure advertising campaigns, understand whether you interacted with an advertisement, create or infer audiences, and present advertising that may be more relevant to your interests.
These technologies may collect information about your activity on the Site and, depending on the provider, activity across other websites, applications, or devices. Certain uses of these technologies may be considered “selling,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under applicable privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged.
Where required by law, these cookies will not be activated without your consent or will be subject to your right to opt out.
Social Media and Embedded Content
The Site may contain social-media links, videos, feeds, buttons, or other content supplied by third parties. These providers may place cookies or collect information when you interact with their content. They may also recognize you if you are signed in to their service.
The collection and use of information by these third parties are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.
- Third-Party Services
We may allow service providers to use cookies and similar technologies in connection with services such as:
- Website hosting and content management;
- Ecommerce and shopping-cart functionality;
- Payment processing;
- Website analytics and performance measurement;
- Email marketing and newsletter forms;
- Advertising and campaign measurement;
- Social-media integrations;
- Fraud prevention and security; and
- Customer service and technical support.
The specific providers and cookies used on the Site may change as we update our services. You can review the cookies currently available and adjust your choices through the cookie preference tool displayed on the Site, where available.
Third parties may use information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies. Nathan the CatLady does not control how third parties use cookies after information has been transmitted to them.
- How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a session or persistent cookie and on the purpose of the cookie.
Session cookies are generally deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies may remain until their stated expiration date or until you delete them. Retention periods may range from a few minutes to two years or longer, depending on the provider and purpose.
Where available, more specific cookie durations will be displayed in our cookie preference tool.
- Managing Your Cookie Choices
Cookie Preference Tool
Where available, you may use the “Cookie Settings,” “Privacy Choices,” or similarly labeled link on the Site to accept, reject, or adjust non-essential cookie categories.
Strictly necessary cookies cannot generally be disabled because they are required to operate the Site. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing performed before consent was withdrawn.
Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies through their settings. Browser controls vary, so consult your browser’s help documentation for instructions.
Blocking or deleting cookies may cause certain portions of the Site—including the shopping cart, checkout, forms, and saved preferences—to function incorrectly.
Your selections may apply only to the browser and device you are currently using. You may need to repeat your choices if you use another device or browser or clear your cookies.
Global Privacy Control
Where applicable, we recognize legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), as requests to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information associated with the browser or device sending the signal.
GPC signals may not apply to information we cannot reasonably associate with the relevant browser or device. To exercise rights relating to other information, please consult our Privacy Policy or contact us using the information below.
Industry Advertising Controls
You may also be able to manage interest-based advertising through industry tools offered by organizations such as the Digital Advertising Alliance or Network Advertising Initiative. These tools are operated by third parties and do not replace the controls offered through our Site.
- Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
Nathan the CatLady does not sell personal information for money. However, certain advertising or analytics activities involving third-party cookies may be treated as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under some state privacy laws.
Where these laws apply, you may opt out by:
- Selecting the appropriate options through our cookie or privacy preference tool;
- Using the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” or “Your Privacy Choices” link on the Site, if displayed;
- Enabling Global Privacy Control in a supported browser; or

We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through the Site, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 without the affirmative authorization required by applicable law.
