Cookie Policy
A plain-English explanation of the cookies this site uses and how to control them. This page expands on the cookies section of our privacy policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website (or a third party it works with) stores on your device to remember things between pages and visits — for example, a preference you set, or that you arrived at a retailer through a particular link. Similar technologies such as local storage and pixels work in comparable ways, and we mean all of them when we say "cookies" here.
The cookies this site uses
| Type | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Essential | Let the site load and function and remember basic preferences. The site cannot work properly without these. |
| Analytics | Help us understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site so we can improve it. These do not identify you personally to us. |
| Affiliate tracking | When you click a product link to Amazon, Amazon sets its own cookies so a qualifying purchase can be attributed to our Associates account. We do not set or control these. |
We use, or may use, these categories as the site grows. We do not sell the information cookies collect, and our own analytics are used only in aggregate to understand how the site is used.
Third-party cookies (Amazon Associates)
Product links on this site are affiliate links. When you click through to Amazon, Amazon may set its own cookies and process data under Amazon's own privacy policy, not ours — that's how a qualifying purchase is credited to our Amazon Associates account, at no extra cost to you. We don't control Amazon's cookies. For more on that relationship, see our affiliate disclosure.
How to control cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings — every major browser lets you block cookies, clear existing ones, or be warned before one is set. Bear in mind that blocking some cookies may affect how parts of this site work, and that disabling affiliate-tracking cookies may mean a purchase you make isn't credited to us (which is fine — it costs you nothing either way).
Changes to this policy
As we add features (such as newsletter signup or additional analytics), we'll update this page to reflect the cookies actually in use. Questions about cookies or your data can go to privacy@ceilingfansandlighting.com.
