This Cookie Policy explains how Calm Square Feet (https://www.calmsquarefeet.com) uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit. They help the site remember your actions and preferences, understand how the site is used, and — in the case of advertising cookies — show you more relevant ads. Similar technologies include pixels, local storage, and device identifiers; we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy.
Cookies can be “first-party” (set by this website) or “third-party” (set by services we use, such as analytics or advertising partners). They can be “session” cookies that disappear when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies that remain for a set period.
Types of Cookies We Use
1. Essential cookies
These are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They include cookies used by our caching and performance system (LiteSpeed Cache) to serve pages quickly, security cookies, and cookies that remember basic functional preferences. They store no personally identifiable information.
2. Analytics cookies
Analytics services (such as Google Analytics and Grow.me by Mediavine) set cookies that help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are read most, how long visitors stay, and how they found us. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify you. We use it to write better content and improve the site.
3. Advertising cookies
Advertising partners (Google AdSense, and Mediavine if we partner with them in the future) use cookies to serve ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad performance, and — where you have consented or not opted out — personalize the ads you see based on your interests. These are typically third-party cookies controlled by the advertising network, not by us.
4. Affiliate cookies
When you click an affiliate link (for example, to Amazon), the merchant sets a cookie so that a purchase you make can be attributed to Calm Square Feet. These cookies are controlled by the merchant, expire after a period set by the merchant, and never increase the price you pay. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
5. Third-party and embedded content cookies
Some pages embed content from other platforms — for example, Pinterest pins or social media widgets. These platforms may set their own cookies when the embedded content loads, exactly as if you had visited their website directly. We do not control these cookies.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
