A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit it. Cookies let a site remember information about your visit, such as your language preference or whether you have seen a particular banner before. Some cookies are placed directly by mynorwegiancat.com/. Others are placed by third parties whose tools or content appear on our pages, such as an embedded video or a map.
This Cookie Policy MyNorwegianCat page explains every category of cookie and similar tracking technology used on mynorwegiancat.com/, who places it, and why. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains what we do with any personal data these cookies collect. This page applies to every visitor, but the specific rights available to you, including whether we need your consent before setting a cookie, depend on where you live, as explained in our Privacy Policy under LGPD, GDPR, and CCPA.
How This Page Relates to Other Legal Pages
This Cookie Policy MyNorwegianCat page works alongside two other pages on this site. Our Privacy Policy explains the legal bases we rely on under LGPD, GDPR, and CCPA for processing any personal data these cookies collect, and lists your rights as a data subject in more detail than this page does. Our Cookie Preferences page is where you actually grant, change, or withdraw consent for each category described above; this page only explains what each category means and which services fall into it.
This category is the simplest part of the Cookie Policy MyNorwegianCat page to explain. Strictly necessary cookies, sometimes called functional cookies, are required for the site to work at all. They handle things like remembering your cookie consent choices once you make them, keeping the site secure, and allowing basic navigation. We do not need your consent to place these cookies, and you cannot opt out of them without breaking core site functionality. They do not track you across other websites for advertising purposes.
This part of the Cookie Policy MyNorwegianCat page covers Google Analytics 4 (GA4) directly on this site, installed without a separate Google Tag Manager container. GA4 sets cookies that help us understand which pages are read, how visitors arrive here, and how the site performs, so we can improve it.
If you are visiting from the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, Google Analytics does not log or store your individual IP address; it derives only coarse location data such as city and country before discarding it. If you are visiting from elsewhere, standard GA4 collection applies, and your data may be processed in the United States. Analytics cookies fall under the "Statistics" category in the cookie preferences tool described below, and, for EEA, UK, and Swiss visitors, are only set after you give consent.
The advertising section of this Cookie Policy MyNorwegianCat page covers three services. This site displays advertising through Google AdSense and Adsterra, and participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Google AdSense and Adsterra place cookies that allow ads to be served based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet; this is sometimes called cross-context behavioral advertising.
Amazon places its own affiliate tracking cookie when you click a qualifying product link, which lets Amazon credit us if you make a purchase; this cookie is set and controlled by Amazon under its own Associates Program Operating Agreement, not by us. These cookies fall under the "Marketing" category in the cookie preferences tool and require your consent if you are in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland. If you are a California resident, using our cookie preferences tool or the Global Privacy Control signal in your browser lets you opt out of this category, which California law treats as "sharing" your data.
This part of the Cookie Policy MyNorwegianCat page exists because Google Maps behaves differently from our other tools. Our Vet Finder tool uses Google Maps to help you locate veterinarians who treat Norwegian Forest Cats. Google Maps only loads on the Vet Finder page itself; it does not load anywhere else on mynorwegiancat.com/.
When the map loads, Google may set cookies and collect technical data such as your IP address to display the map and to measure how the map feature is used, under its own privacy policy. Because this is a distinct, page-specific tool rather than a site-wide analytics or advertising system, we treat it as its own cookie category, separate from GA4, AdSense, and Adsterra, in the cookie preferences tool.
This section of the Cookie Policy MyNorwegianCat page groups every embed platform together because they behave the same way from a cookie standpoint. Some articles on this site embed content from YouTube, Spotify, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and X (formerly Twitter), for example to show a video about Norwegian Forest Cat grooming or a post from our own social accounts.
Each of these platforms may set its own cookies and collect data about your device when the embedded content loads on the page where it appears, whether or not you interact with the embed. For YouTube specifically, embeds on this site use privacy-enhanced mode where practical, which delays some tracking until you press play, though it does not eliminate all data collection by Google. We do not control the cookies these platforms set; each one is governed by that platform's own privacy and cookie policy. These cookies fall under the "Marketing" category in our cookie preferences tool and only load after consent for EEA, UK, and Swiss visitors.
To keep this Cookie Policy MyNorwegianCat page easy to scan, every cookie on this site falls into one of five categories, matching the categories used by our cookie preferences tool: Functional (strictly necessary, no consent required), Preferences (remembers settings like display choices), Statistics (Google Analytics 4), Marketing (Google AdSense, Adsterra, Amazon Associates, and social media embeds), and the Google Maps category specific to the Vet Finder page. We keep Google Maps separate from Marketing because it is a locator tool tied to one feature, not a site-wide advertising or tracking system, and grouping it with advertising would make it harder for you to allow the map without also allowing ad tracking.
Except for strictly necessary cookies, we ask for your consent before setting the categories described above if you are visiting from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland. You can grant or withdraw consent at any time using the cookie preferences tool available in the site footer. Turning off a category will stop future cookies of that type from being set, though it will not remove cookies already stored on your device; you can delete those through your browser settings.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
The signal-based controls described in this Cookie Policy MyNorwegianCat page work alongside the cookie preferences tool. Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal, and some send the newer Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. We honor Global Privacy Control as a valid opt-out request for the marketing and advertising cookie categories described above, consistent with the CCPA and CPRA. Because "Do Not Track" has no single agreed technical standard, we currently do not change site behavior based on it alone, but you can still use the cookie preferences tool to make the same choice manually.
Duration is the last technical detail this Cookie Policy MyNorwegianCat page covers. Cookies on this site range from session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, to persistent cookies that can last from a few days up to two years, depending on the vendor that sets them. Advertising and social media cookies set by third parties typically follow that third party's own retention schedule rather than ours; check the relevant platform's cookie policy for exact durations.
We may update this Cookie Policy MyNorwegianCat page when we add or remove a service that sets cookies, such as a new embed type or ad partner. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to check back periodically, especially before assuming which categories of cookies are currently active.
