This Cookie Policy explains how Nicole S. Ross ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at nicolesross.com (the "Site"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

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, Nicole S. Ross) 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, advertising).

2. How We Use Cookies

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Site to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Site. For example, we use cookies to understand which pages are most popular so we can create more content that our visitors enjoy.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Site and to use some of its features, such as the contact form and newsletter sign-up.

This helps us improve your experience. We may use analytics services such as Google Analytics.

4. Third-Party Cookies and Links

Our Site contains links to third-party websites, such as Amazon, Etsy, and Spoken Word New York. These websites may set their own cookies when you visit them. We do not control the use of these cookies and you should check the cookie policies of these third-party websites for more information.
