THE FRAGRANCE & FUR COOKIE AND PIXEL POLICY
OUR POLICY FOR COOKIES AND PIXELS
This Cookie and Pixel Policy illuminates how Fragrance & Fur—referred to throughout as “Fragrance & Fur,” “we,” “us,” or “our”—uses cookies, pixels, and other digital technologies to shape, support, and understand your experience across our online world. These technologies may be used on the Fragrance & Fur website, located at www.fragranceandfur.com, as well as on any other website that we own or control and that displays or links to this policy (collectively, the “Sites”). They may also be used within the Fragrance & Fur mobile application and any other mobile application that we own or control and that displays or links to this policy (collectively, the “Apps”).
THE FRAGRANCE & FUR COOKIE AND PIXEL POLICY
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are tiny digital markers placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They quietly record selected information, helping us understand how visitors use our sites, guiding you smoothly from one page to another, remembering your preferences, and creating a more seamless browsing experience.
We use two main kinds of cookies:
1) First-Party Cookies
These cookies are placed directly on your computer or mobile device by us. They allow our sites to recognize your device when you return, helping preserve your preferences and support a consistent experience.
2) Third-Party Cookies
These cookies are placed on our sites by service providers or business partners. They may enable those parties to recognize your computer or mobile device when you visit other websites. Like digital signposts across the web, third-party cookies may support website analytics, personalized advertising, and social media features.
THE FRAGRANCE & FUR COOKIES AND PIXEL POLICY
WHAT TYPE OF COOKIE DO WE USE?
1) Advertising Cookies
These digital markers follow the trail of your browsing activity across our sites and beyond, allowing advertising partners to understand your interests over time. With this insight, they can place advertisements they believe will resonate with you—both within our service and elsewhere—and measure how effectively those messages reach their audience.
Our advertising cookies are provided by Google, Facebook, Sailthru Horizon, Criteo, Bounce Exchange, and Klaviyo. To change how these cookies are used, please visit the “Your Choices” section below.
2) Google Analytics Cookies
These cookies act as our service’s compass, helping us see how it performs and how visitors interact with it. They may also work alongside invisible web beacons embedded in our emails, revealing which messages are opened and which links invite readers to continue their journey.
These cookies are provided by Google Analytics, which operates through its own cookie technology. For further details, please consult the information about Google Analytics cookies and Google’s approach to protecting your data. If you prefer to prevent Google Analytics from tracking your activity on our sites, you may download and install the browser plug-in listed in the “Your Choices” section below.
3) Essential Cookies
These cookies form the quiet machinery behind our service. They are essential for its technical operation, enabling you to move through our website, access its features, and use it as intended.
Google Tag Manager provides these cookies. To adjust your Essential Cookie preferences, please visit the “Your Choices” section below.
4) Functionality and Performance Cookies
These cookies help our sites run more smoothly and respond more effectively, enhancing both their functionality and overall performance.
These cookies are provided by Threat Matrix. To modify your preferences for Functionality and Performance Cookies, please visit the “Your Choices” section below.

ADDITIONAL TECHNOLOGIES
Our websites may employ a range of digital tools—some familiar, others less visible—to gather information automatically. These technologies may be used by us, our service providers, vendors, and other third parties, and may include the following:
1) Flash Cookies
Flash Cookies are specialized data files that generally can be disabled only through Adobe Flash settings, as described below.
2) Server Logs
Server logs act as a digital record of your visit. They may capture information about the device, browser, operating system, network, and other resources you use when accessing our digital services.
3) Web Beacons and Pixels
Web beacons and pixels are tiny electronic images woven into websites and emails. They help reveal how users move through and interact with digital content.
Unlike cookies, which a website stores on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device, pixel tags are embedded invisibly within webpages or HTML-formatted emails. These unobtrusive signals may confirm that a webpage was accessed or that particular content was viewed. We may use them to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, understand engagement with our emails, compile usage statistics, and manage and improve the content of our sites.
4) Application Software
Software within our mobile applications and other connected-device applications may observe and collect information about how you interact with our Sites and Apps. For example, our Apps may incorporate third-party software development kits (“SDKs”).
An SDK is a package of third-party computer code that can serve many purposes, including providing analytics about the use of our mobile applications, connecting our Apps with social media platforms, introducing features or functionality, and supporting online advertising.
SDKs may also allow third parties to collect information directly through our Apps, creating an additional channel through which digital activity may be measured and understood.

YOUR CHOICES FOR COOKIE AND PIXAL PREFERENCES
Like countless companies that connect with clients and customers through the digital world, we rely on services from Google, Meta, and other providers that employ tracking technologies. These tools may help deliver interest-based advertising—messages shaped to be more effective through inferences about your interests and behavior. You remain in control of how this information is used. The options below explain how to adjust your advertising preferences and, where available, opt out of the use of your personal information by individual providers.
1) Turn Off Interest-Based Advertising Through Your Fragrance & Fur Account
As you explore our websites, you may encounter advertisements selected with your interests in mind. You can silence this form of personalization through our advertising settings by restricting cookies and similar technologies used for these purposes. Choosing this option will not remove advertisements entirely; it will simply make them less closely aligned with your interests.
2) Close the Door on Cookies in Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to remove or refuse cookies, including those used to support interest-based advertising. Open your browser’s privacy or settings menu and follow its instructions. Because many browsers accept cookies automatically, you may need to change the default settings yourself. To learn how cookies work, review which ones are stored on your device, or manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
3) Limit Advertising Identifiers Through Your Mobile Device
Your mobile device may include settings that limit the use of its advertising identifier for interest-based advertising. These controls allow you to place boundaries around how your device is recognized for advertising purposes.
4) Use Privacy-Focused Browsers or Plug-Ins
You can prevent our websites from placing cookies associated with interest-based advertising by using privacy-focused browsers, such as Brave, or by installing tools such as Privacy Badger, Ghostery, or uBlock Origin. Configure these tools to block third-party cookies and tracking technologies.
5) Step Through Platform-Specific Opt-Outs
The advertising partners below provide their own pathways for limiting the use of your information or declining interest-based advertising:
-
Google: https://adssettings.google.com
-
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/about/ads
-
Criteo: https://www.criteo.com/privacy/disable-criteo-services-on-internet-browsers/
-
Bounce Exchange: https://www.bouncex.com/privacy/your-ad-choices/
6) Explore Advertising-Industry Opt-Out Tools
Some business partners that gather information about activity on or through our websites or applications may belong to organizations offering choices about the use of browsing behavior or mobile-app activity for targeted advertising. You can use the resources below to limit interest-based advertising by participating companies:
-
Digital Advertising Alliance: http://optout.aboutads.info
-
Network Advertising Initiative: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1
Users of our applications may also decline targeted advertising in mobile apps through participating members of the Digital Advertising Alliance by installing the AppChoices mobile application, available here, and selecting their preferred options.
We may also work with companies that maintain their own opt-out procedures and do not participate in the programs listed above.
As explained above, opting out of targeted advertising does not make online advertisements disappear; it merely loosens the connection between those advertisements and your interests. In addition, the companies listed here do not represent every provider involved in online behavioral advertising. As a result, you may continue to encounter cookies and personalized advertisements from companies that are not included in this list.
