This Cookie Policy explains how A Daycare on A Farm LLC, doing business as Whispering Willow Daycare and Farm School ("Daycare," "School," "we," "us," or "our"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website www.whisperingwillowdaycare.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.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy for Whispering Willow Daycare and Farm School which provides more detail on how we process your personal information.

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, Whispering Willow Daycare and Farm School) 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., analytics, interactive content). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and potentially 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 understand how our Website is used and to improve the user experience.

3. What Types of Cookies Do We Use and How Do We Use Them?

The specific types of first and third-party cookies that may be served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described below:

• Essential Website Cookies (First-Party):
  • Purpose: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as enabling navigation or providing access to information. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website to you, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Website functions.
  • Example: Session cookies that keep you logged in, cookies that remember your cookie consent preferences.
• Performance and Functionality Cookies (First-Party or Third-Party):
  • Purpose: 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 (like remembering preferences) may become unavailable.
  • Example: Cookies that remember your preferred language or region.
• Analytics and Customization Cookies (First-Party or Third-Party):
  • Purpose: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used  or to help us customize our Website for you.
  • Example: Google Analytics cookies (third-party) to track website traffic and user behavior. 
• Social Media Cookies (Potentially Third-Party):
  • Purpose: If our Website includes features that allow you to share content on social media platforms (e.g., a "Share on Facebook" button), these cookies may be set by the social media provider. They are used to enable this sharing functionality and may also track your activity across websites.
  • Example: Cookies set by Facebook, Instagram, or other social media platforms when you interact with sharing buttons or embedded content from those platforms on our Website. 

4. How Can You Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (other than essential cookies). You can exercise your cookie preferences in several ways:

• Browser Controls: Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. 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.
  
  • Find out how to manage cookies on popular browsers:
    • Google Chrome
    • Microsoft Edge
    • Mozilla Firefox
    • Apple Safari
• Cookie Consent Tool: [If your website uses a cookie consent banner or management tool, describe it here. E.g., "Upon your first visit to our Website, you may be presented with a cookie banner requesting your consent to use non-essential cookies. You can manage your preferences through this tool at any time by clicking on the 'Cookie Settings' link typically found in the footer of our Website."]
• Opting Out of Third-Party Analytics:
  • If we use Google Analytics, you can opt-out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: [https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout].
  • 
    

5. Other Tracking Technologies

We may also use other similar technologies like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs") from time to time. 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 that we have sent them (if applicable). This allows us, for example, to monitor traffic patterns and understand site usage. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers may transmit "do-not-track" signals to websites with which the browser communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. We currently do not take action in response to these signals.

7. Changes 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.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
