Hey there, cookie lover!🍪

At Pink Pineapple, we use cookies to make your experience with us as smooth and delightful as possible. This policy lays out all the juicy details about what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control them. Don’t worry—we respect your privacy and use cookies responsibly. Let’s break it all down:

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) that help us:

• Remember your preferences.
• Track how you use our website.
• Improve your experience and serve up content that matters to you.

Cookies don’t usually contain information that directly identifies you, but sometimes the data we collect might be linked to other information we have about you. For more on how we handle your data, check out our Privacy Policy.

What We Don’t Store

We’re not about snooping into your sensitive details. That means no:

• Mailing addresses.
• Passwords.
• Other personal info that’s better left private.

Types of Cookies We Use

Cookies come in two varieties:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary and disappear when you close your browser.
• Persistent Cookies: These stick around for a set amount of time or until you delete them.

Here’s how we use them:

1. Necessary Cookies

• Type: Session Cookies
• Administered by: Us
• Purpose: These are the backbone of our website. Without them, things like logging in, browsing securely, and accessing essential features wouldn’t work.

2. Cookie Policy / Notice Acceptance Cookies

• Type: Persistent Cookies
• Administered by: Us
• Purpose: These cookies remember if you’ve agreed to our cookie policy—no annoying pop-ups every time you visit.

3. Functionality Cookies

• Type: Persistent Cookies
• Administered by: Us
• Purpose: These cookies remember your preferences, like your language or login details, to make your experience seamless.

4. Tracking and Performance Cookies

• Type: Persistent Cookies
• Administered by: Third Parties
• Purpose: These cookies give us insights into how you use our site. This helps us track traffic, test new features, and improve your experience. The data collected might indirectly identify you through pseudonymous identifiers tied to your device.

5. Targeting and Advertising Cookies

• Type: Persistent Cookies
• Administered by: Third Parties
• Purpose: These cookies track your browsing habits to show you ads that actually interest you. They group you with others who share similar preferences so we (and our ad partners) can serve you relevant content.

Tracking Technologies We Use

We use several tools to enhance your browsing experience:

• Browser Cookies: These are placed on your device and can be managed via your browser settings.
• Flash Cookies: These help store your preferences but aren’t managed the same way as browser cookies. Check out this guide to manage Flash Cookies.
• Web Beacons: These small graphic files in emails or web pages help us measure site performance and email engagement.

Hotjar Tracking

We use Hotjar to analyze how users interact with our site (e.g., clicks, scrolling). This data helps us optimize your experience. Hotjar uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect non-identifiable information like browser type, operating system, and usage patterns.

To opt out of Hotjar tracking, adjust your browser settings or follow the instructions on their privacy policy page.

Your Cookie Choices 🍪

Cookies aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s okay! You have options:

1. Disable Cookies in Your Browser: Refuse or delete cookies by tweaking your browser settings.
2. Accept Cookies Selectively: Manage which types of cookies you allow via our cookie manager.

If you disable cookies, some parts of our site may not function properly, but hey, that’s your call!

Here’s where to find browser-specific help:

• Chrome
• Safari
• Firefox
• Edge

Why Cookies Matter

We use cookies to:

• Keep the site secure.
• Improve your browsing experience.
• Analyze traffic to identify what’s working.
• Show you content and ads that actually interest you.
