In this Cookie Policy we explain how we use cookies and similar technologies in the course of our business, including through our websites that link to this Cookie Policy, such as https://itsfurmates.com, or any website or mobile application owned, operated, or controlled by us (collectively, “Websites” or “websites”). We also explain what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your right to control our use of them. This Cookie Policy is and will be treated as part of our Terms of Use, and is automatically incorporated into them. Capitalized and lowercase terms used and not otherwise defined in this Cookie Policy have the meanings given to those terms in our Privacy Policy.
In some cases, we may use cookies and other tracking technologies described in this Cookie Policy to collect personal information, or to collect information that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information. For more information about how we process your Personal Information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small piece of text that a website asks the browser to store on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or any device that allows you to browse web pages. Thanks to these cookies, the website can “remember” user actions or preferences over time. Our websites (https://itsfurmates.com) rely on some “strictly necessary” cookies for their normal operation. Without them, for example, you would not be able to make purchases, chat with our advisors, etc.
Most internet browsers accept cookies; however, users can configure them so that they do not accept certain types of cookies or specific cookies. Users can also delete cookies at any time.
Why are they important?
From a technical perspective, they allow websites to function more efficiently and adapt to users’ preferences, such as storing language, country currency, or detecting the access device.
They establish protection and security levels that prevent or make cyberattacks against the website or its users more difficult.
They allow site administrators to obtain statistical data collected through cookies in order to improve the quality and experience of their services.
They help optimize the advertising shown to users, offering ads that best match their interests.
Why do we use cookies and other tracking technologies?
We use our own and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our websites and services to operate, and we refer to them as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies allow us and the third parties we work with to track and target the interests of visitors to our websites, and we refer to them as “performance” or “functionality” cookies.
For example, we use cookies to tailor the content and information we may send or display to you, personalize your experience when interacting with our websites, and improve the functionality of the services we provide. Finally, third parties may place cookies through our websites and services for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
What types of cookies do we use?
First-party and third-party cookies
On our website we use both first-party and third-party cookies.
First-party cookies are cookies sent from the domain:
https://itsfurmates.com
We generally use them for website functionalities such as country, language, currency, shopping cart, online chat, pagination, and other basic site features.
Third-party cookies belong to other companies and are managed by them (for example: Google Analytics or online chat tools). These cookies may be necessary to facilitate certain forms and online chat systems, or to enable certain types of advertising outside our websites.
Session cookies
These are temporary cookies used to remember the user during their visit to the website, allowing them to access services without having to re-enter their information each time they change pages. When the user closes the browser, they disappear. These types of cookies allow our sites to function correctly and are “strictly necessary.”
Persistent cookies
These are used to remember user preferences on the website and remain on the computer or mobile device even after the browser has been closed or the computer restarted. We use these cookies to analyze user behavior in order to identify visit patterns and improve website functions. These cookies also allow us to present personalized content and measure the effectiveness of our website’s features and advertising.
How are cookies used for advertising purposes?
Cookies and other technologies used to display advertisements, such as web beacons, pixels, and anonymous or network tags, help us present relevant ads to users more effectively. They also help us collect aggregated audit data, research, and reporting results for advertisers.
Through pixels, we can understand and improve how ads are presented to users and determine which specific ads have been viewed. Since the user’s web browser may request ads and web beacons directly from advertising network servers, those networks may view, modify, or set their own cookies just as if the user had requested access to a webpage from their site.
Although we do not use cookies to create behavioral profiles of users when they browse third-party websites, we do use aggregated third-party data to show advertising tailored to user interests. We do not provide advertisers with any personal data collected. Users may disable off-site advertising and advertising based on third-party information by adjusting their cookie settings. If advertising is disabled, it will not disappear from the pages visited, but the ads displayed will not be personalized according to the user’s interests.
How are third-party cookies used?
For some of the functions included on our websites, we rely on third-party providers. For example, when a user visits a page where YouTube videos or links have been embedded. Such videos or links, and any other content from other providers, may include third-party cookies. Therefore, we encourage users to consult the privacy policies of these providers on their websites to learn how they use cookies.

Other tracking technologies
We and our external partners may occasionally use other similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixels (or “clear gifs”), and other tracking technologies. These are small graphic files that contain a unique identifier that allows us to recognize when someone has visited our websites or, in the case of web beacons, opened an email that we sent.
This allows us, for example, to monitor traffic patterns of users from one page of our websites to another, deliver or communicate with cookies, determine whether you arrived at our websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, show targeted advertisements to you and others like you, improve site performance, and measure the success of marketing campaigns.
Although you may not have the ability to specifically reject or disable these tracking technologies, in many cases these technologies rely on cookies to function properly; therefore, disabling cookies may impair the functioning of these technologies.
How often will this Cookie Policy be updated?
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect, for example, changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Therefore, please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the bottom of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
