Effective Date: February 6, 2025

This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how candlyconverter.com uses them, what types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your preferences. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy, unless you have disabled them in your browser. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owners. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by candlyconverter.com) or "third-party" (set by other services we use, such as analytics or advertising partners).

Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect how our website functions and your user experience. For more details on managing cookies, see the "Managing Cookies" section below.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for various purposes, including:

Ensuring website functionality: Some cookies are essential for the site to work properly (e.g. session management, security).
Remembering user preferences: We may store your choices (e.g. language, display options) so you do not have to set them again on each visit.
Enhancing security: Cookies help us protect against fraud and abuse and to verify requests.
Analyzing website performance: We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our site (e.g. which pages are most visited, how long users stay), which helps us improve the service.
Advertising: We may allow third-party cookies for advertising and remarketing, so that we can show relevant ads and measure campaign effectiveness. You can opt out of interest-based advertising through your browser or device settings.

We do not use cookies to identify you personally unless you have provided your contact details (e.g. via our contact form), and we handle any such data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following types of cookies:

Essential cookies: These are necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure areas, and basic security. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they generally cannot be disabled.

Performance cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with the website (e.g. number of visits, bounce rate, traffic sources). The data is usually aggregated and anonymous. We use this information to improve the site and user experience.

Functional cookies: These allow the website to remember choices you make (e.g. language, region) and to provide enhanced, more personal features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

Targeting or advertising cookies: These may be set by us or our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and to show you relevant ads on our site or on other sites. They are also used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Cookie duration can vary: some expire when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain for a set period or until you delete them (persistent cookies).

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may allow third-party services (e.g. Google Analytics, advertising networks) to place cookies on your device when you use our website. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control how they use the data they collect. We encourage you to review the policies of these services and to use your browser or device settings to manage or opt out of third-party cookies if you wish.

If we change our use of third-party services, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent again.

Managing Cookies

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to: view cookies stored on your device; block all or certain cookies; and delete existing cookies. The steps vary by browser; typically you can find cookie settings under "Privacy," "Security," or "Settings."

Please note that blocking or deleting essential cookies may affect the functionality of candlyconverter.com (e.g. you may not be able to use certain features or your preferences may not be saved). Blocking or deleting performance or advertising cookies will not prevent the site from working but may affect our ability to improve the service and to show you relevant content.

You can also opt out of interest-based advertising through industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), or through your device settings (e.g. "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS).

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The "Effective Date" at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of our website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
