Cookies and other tracking technologies
Cookies are small text files that are used to store small pieces of information. They are stored on your device when the website is loaded on your browser. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites function properly, make them more secure, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, MY Cat Stuff) are called “first-party cookies”. First-party cookies are mostly necessary for the website to function the right way. 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). 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.
Why do we use cookies?
Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as “necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
This allows your web browser to recognize places you have visited. We may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as:
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Preferences. The Cookie Preferences allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Necessary cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly essential to provide you with services. Cookies you can control include (note: all may not be applicable): functional, analytical, performance, and advertisement.
The Cookie Preferences can be found in the notification banner floating in the lower left corner. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and ares of our website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
Click the floating cookie icon in the lower left at any time to update your Cookie Preferences.
How can I control cookies on my browser?
You can change the settings of your browser to block/delete the cookies. 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.
Types of cookies we use
Necessary: cookies that are required to enable the basic features of this site, such as adjusting your consent preferences. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable data.
Functional: cookies that perform certain functionalities like sharing the content of the website on social media platforms, collecting feedback, and other third-party features.
Analytical: cookies that are used to understand how visitors interact with the website. These cookies help provide information on metrics such as the number of visitors, bounce rate, traffic source, etc.
Marketing: cookies that are used to provide visitors with customized advertisements based on the pages you visited previously and to analyze the effectiveness of the ad campaigns.
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic pattern of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Controls for Do-Not Track features
Most web browsers and some mobiles include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not an industry standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time.
Caches
LiteSpeed Cache
This site utilizes caching in order to facilitate a faster response time and better user experience. Cashing potentially stores a duplicate copy of every web page that is on display on this site. All cache files are temporary, and are never accessed by any third part, except as necessary to obtain technical support from the cache plugin vendor. Cache files expire on a schedule set by the site administrator, but may easily be purged by the admin before their natural expiration, if necessary. We may use QUIC.cloud services to process & cache your data temporarily. Please see https://quic.cloud/privacy-policy/ for more details.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How we secure your data
The security of your information is important to us and we have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. We rely on reputable and reliable third-party vendors to collect information.
However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk and you should only access the Services within a secure environment.
