This Cookie Policy outlines GiftLash.org's ("Platform," "Entity," or "Organization") educational use of cookies and similar tracking technologies for user recognition across giftlash.org ("Site"). This document explains these technologies, their implementation rationale, and your administrative controls, all in compliance with USA and Canadian data protection regulations.
Continued Site navigation constitutes explicit consent to our educational cookie framework as specified herein.
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, giftlash.org) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
Our cookie practices are designed to comply with USA and Canadian data protection laws and regulations. We aim to ensure transparency regarding cookie usage and respect your privacy rights in accordance with applicable local and federal laws.
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties may also serve cookies through our Website for analytics and other purposes.
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Website functions.
These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Website for you in order to enhance your experience.
These cookies are used when you share information using a social media sharing button or engage with our content on or through a social media platform. The social network will record that you have done this.

You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our Website may no longer be fully accessible.

You can also opt out of some third-party cookies through the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out portal or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out portal.
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no uniform way that websites and online services respond to these signals. Therefore, our Website does not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
