Cookie Policy
Last updated: [5/30/2026]
This Cookie Policy explains how CatNap Academy uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit catnapacademy.com. It works alongside our [Privacy Policy] to give you full transparency about how we handle your data.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit. They help websites remember things — like whether you’ve visited before, your preferences, and how you interact with different pages.
Cookies are widely used across the internet, and most websites you visit use them in some form.
Why We Use Cookies
CatNap Academy uses cookies for several reasons:
- To make the site work properly (essential functions)
- To understand how visitors use our site (analytics)
- To display relevant ads through our advertising partners
- To track affiliate link clicks so we can earn commissions from purchases
- To remember your preferences if you’ve interacted with the site before
We try to keep cookie use minimal and meaningful. We don’t use cookies to track you across unrelated websites or build advertising profiles for resale.
Types of Cookies We Use
1. Essential Cookies These are necessary for the site to function. Without them, certain features won’t work properly. You cannot opt out of essential cookies, as they’re required for basic site operation.
2. Analytics Cookies We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use our site. These cookies collect anonymous information like which pages are popular, how long visitors stay, and what devices they use.
3. Advertising Cookies If we display ads on the site (through networks like Google AdSense, Ezoic, or Mediavine), those networks may place cookies to deliver and measure ad performance. These cookies may track your activity across multiple sites.
4. Affiliate Tracking Cookies When you click affiliate links on our site (to Amazon, Chewy, Petco, etc.), the destination retailer may place a tracking cookie to attribute the visit and any resulting purchase to CatNap Academy. This is how we earn affiliate commissions.
5. Email Service Cookies Our email newsletter provider (MailerLite or similar) may use cookies to track newsletter sign-up activity.
Third-Party Cookies
Several third-party services we use may place their own cookies on your device when you visit our site:
- Google Analytics (analytics)
- Google AdSense / Ezoic / Mediavine (advertising)
- Amazon Associates (affiliate tracking)
- Impact (affiliate tracking for Chewy, Petco, and others)
- MailerLite (email service)
- Facebook / Pinterest (if you interact with social media buttons)
Each third party has its own privacy and cookie policies. Most major services let you opt out of personalized tracking through their own settings.
How to Manage Cookies
You have full control over cookies on your device. Here are your main options:
Browser settings. Every major browser lets you view, block, and delete cookies through its settings. Look in your browser’s privacy or security section. Note that blocking all cookies may break some site features.
Opt-out tools. For advertising cookies specifically, you can opt out through industry tools like the Network Advertising Initiative (networkadvertising.org) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (aboutads.info).
Google Analytics opt-out. You can install Google’s Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on to prevent your data from being collected by Google Analytics across all sites.
Do Not Track signals. Some browsers send “Do Not Track” signals to websites. Our site does not currently respond to DNT signals, but we limit cookie use to what’s described in this policy.
Cookie Consent
In some regions (like the European Union), websites must obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies. If you visit our site from such a region, you’ll see a cookie consent banner where you can accept or customize your cookie preferences.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site, or by reaching out to us directly.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
As our use of cookies evolves, we may update this Cookie Policy. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
