This Cookie Policy explains how DayDrinking HQ (“Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at www.daydrinkinghq.com (the “Website”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
1. What are Cookies?
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, DayDrinking HQ) 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).
2. Why Do We Use Cookies?
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 (i.e., basic site functionality). We also use cookies to help us understand how our Website is used and to keep things running smoothly.
In addition, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track affiliate link clicks and referrals so that if you click a link we share and later make a purchase on a partner site, we can receive credit (and any associated commission) for that referral. In other words: cookies help the Website work, and they help make sure we get our well-deserved “thanks” for sending good people to good places.
3. The Types of Cookies We Use
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas or ensuring the “Count Me In!” newsletter sign-up functions correctly.
B. Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to its use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable. We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the Website, helping us discover which “daytime vibes” and “hidden gems” are most popular.
C. Affiliate and Tracking Cookies
DayDrinking HQ participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click on an affiliate link on our Website, cookies and/or similar tracking technologies may be used (by us and/or our affiliate partners) to record that your visit came from DayDrinking HQ. This helps ensure we receive proper credit for referrals and, where applicable, a commission if you make a purchase on a partner’s site.
These cookies generally do not tell us who you are by name, but they may collect information such as the page you came from, the link you clicked, and technical identifiers (like a cookie ID) needed to attribute the referral.
4. How Can I Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our Website may be restricted.
As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.
5. Other Tracking Technologies
We and our third-party partners may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons or pixels (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, and to understand whether you have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website.
6. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
7. Contact Us
If you have any questions about our use of cookies or other technologies, please contact us via the contact information provided on our Website.
