Tracking and “DO NOT TRACK”
Tracking involves the use of cookies, web beacons, or other embedded code or tracking technologies to collect, analyze, and store information on a user’s behavior over time on multiple sites, including information on the sites visited, products viewed, products purchased, and other online interactions. Tracking information can be used to enable companies to make interest-based (behavioral) advertising available to users on multiple sites that they visit.
We may (or our third-party service providers may on our behalf) collect Personal Information about your online activities over time and across third-party sites for tracking purposes when you use our Website. However, we do not currently allow third parties to collect Personal Information through or using our Website that could be used by them to analyze and store information about your online activities over time and across third-party sites for their own tracking purposes (separate and apart from any services they provide to us in support of our permitted uses of your Personal Information as described in this Policy).
Our Website does not respond to any “do not track” signals sent by your computer, browser, or mobile device, and if your computer, browser, or mobile device sends a “do not track” signal to our Website, our Website will not treat you differently from users who do not send such signals. For more information on how to disable certain tracking technologies, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out page and the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Assistance page.
Our Use of Third-Party Analytics and Advertising Services
Use of Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to track and analyze certain traffic and usage statistics regarding the use of our Website, such as the number of visitors to our Website, how visitors are navigating to our Website, visitors’ general geographic region information, how long individuals are visiting our Website, and information about the equipment individuals are using to access our Website (e.g., browser version and operating system). Google Analytics may use a Google Analytics cookie as part of this service, and we may share certain Personal Information with Google Analytics as part of this service. We use this traffic and usage information to gauge, internally, the effectiveness of our advertising efforts and to make improvements to our Website and our marketing and promotional efforts.
In addition, we may use the following Google Analytics Advertising Features:
- Remarketing
- Google Display Network Impression Reporting
- Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting
- Google Ads (as an integrated service with Google Analytics)
- Google Search Ads 360
- Google Search Console
By enabling these features, we and certain third-party vendors use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) or other first-party identifiers, and third-party cookies (such as Google advertising cookies) or other third-party identifiers together for various purposes. The information collected includes demographic information about our Website visitors and general information about our visitors’ interests. We use the information collected through our use of the Google Analytics Advertising Features to track our Website visitors’ patterns and behaviors, segment our audience, and to better target our advertising and marketing efforts (for our own and others’ products and services) and allow third-party vendors to do the same, for example to (1) display targeted advertisements to individuals who viewed a product or service but did not purchase the product or service, (2) target visitors from a certain geographic region with certain ads in Google search results that have previously shown a high degree of success for consumers in that region, (3) advertise our products and services across other websites that you may visit, or (4) allow Google or other third-party vendors to show you ads on websites that you visit after using our Website or clicking on an offer or ad in one of our e-mails or on our Website.
For more information, please review the following:
- Information about Google’s use of cookies
- Information about Google’s use of information from sites or apps that use Google’s services
You can opt out of our use of certain Google Analytics features by updating the “Ads Settings” in your browser or mobile device, by enabling the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on in your browser, or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out page. Because those opt-out and preference control pages are specific to the individual browser used to visit them, and because those pages are not operated by us, we are unable to perform the opt-outs on your behalf.
Use of Meta Business Tools
We may use various advertising services and business tools provided by Meta (operator of the Facebook and Instagram social media platforms) in connection with our Website. The services and tools we may use are summarized here. In connection with our use of these services and tools, Meta may use cookies, web beacons, and other storage technologies to collect or receive information from the Website and elsewhere on the Internet and use that information to provide measurement services and target ads to you and others. These technologies may include, but are not limited to, Meta Pixel, Conversions API, App Events via Facebook SDK, Offline Conversions, and App Events API. In connection with this service we may provide your e-mail address to Meta along with the e-mail addresses of our other users, and Meta may use this information to find other users of its Facebook and Instagram platforms with similar demographics and interests as indicated in the profiles and activities of our users generally, to help us better target our advertising efforts on Facebook and Instagram to those other users. You can opt out of certain Meta advertising features by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out page and the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Assistance page or by adjusting the privacy settings in your Facebook or Instagram profiles. Because those opt-outs, preference control pages, and privacy settings are specific to the individual browser used to visit them or the individual Facebook or Instagram profile, and because those opt-outs, preference control pages, and privacy settings are not operated or controlled by us, we are unable to perform the opt-outs, set your preferences, or adjust the privacy settings on your behalf.
Use of TikTok For Business
We may use various advertising services offered by TikTok, including certain features included within the TikTok for Business product line. We may use these features to submit, create, or place advertising or any other type of sponsored or promotional content or campaign to you or others. In connection with these features, we may collect Personal Information from you and share such Personal Information with TikTok (or TikTok may collect such Personal Information from you directly on our behalf). More information about TikTok’s policies and practices for handling Personal Information is available at the TikTok Privacy Center.
Use of Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising
We partner with Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising to capture how you use and interact with our Website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay in order to improve and market our products and services. Website usage data is captured through Microsoft Clarity using first and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies to determine the popularity of our products and services and online activity. Additionally, we use this information for site optimization, fraud and security purposes, and advertising. We may also use Microsoft’s Universal Event Tracking (UET) feature to leverage remarketing capabilities in paid search advertisements. In connection with such services, Microsoft may collect or receive your Personal Information and engage in individual end user tracking on our behalf for the types of advertising and marketing purposes described in this Policy. More information about Microsoft’s policies and practices for handling Personal Information is available via Microsoft’s Privacy Statement.
Use of Rakuten Advertising Services
Our Website may use cookies and similar tracking devices provided by Rakuten on our behalf. Rakuten may use these devices to collect Personal Information from you for the purposes of providing digital advertising services to us, including Interest-Based Advertising (as defined below). “Interest-Based Advertising” refers to each of (i) the collection of data across multiple digital properties or other sources for the purposes of profiling and delivering advertising based on preferences or interests known or inferred from the data collected, and (ii) the collection of data about a user’s activity on or in one digital property or source for the purposes of profiling and delivering advertising based on that data on a different digital property.

Accessing, Correcting, and Deleting Your Information: Generally
The laws of various U.S. states (including, but not limited to, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (as amended to date, the “CCPA”)) give individuals rights to review, correct, or request the deletion of certain portions of such individuals’ Personal Information. The following will apply with respect to such requests:
- You may request that we disclose to you certain information about (and, if requested, to receive a portable copy of) the Personal Information about you that we have collected and used in the past 12 months (a “Request to Know”). You may also request that we correct, update, or modify the Personal Information about you that we have collected or that we maintain (a “Request to Correct”). You may also request that we delete the Personal Information about you that we have collected or that we maintain (a “Request to Delete”). You may submit a Request to Know, Request to Correct, or a Request to Delete by sending us an e-mail stating your request to hq@nuggetcomfort.com. Please indicate in your e-mail that you are making a Request to Know, Request to Correct, or a Request to Delete under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (as amended to date, the “CCPA”).
- Upon receipt of your Request to Know, Request to Correct, or Request to Delete, as part of our security measures and as required by law, we will take steps to verify your identity in order to confirm that the person making the request is actually the person about whom we have collected Personal Information (e., that the “you” making the request is actually you). We will verify your identity and confirm your request by asking you to confirm and verify certain Personal Information we already have on file for you.
- We will use reasonable endeavors to accommodate verifiable Requests to Know, Requests to Correct, and Requests to Delete submitted in the manner described above within a reasonable timeframe after receiving such requests. In any event, we will comply with your Request to Know, Request to Correct, and Request to Delete to the extent and in the manner required by applicable law, but we may deny a request, in whole or in part, to the extent an exception applies under (or as otherwise permitted by) applicable law, including the CCPA. For example, we cannot and will not comply with a Request to Know, Request to Correct, or a Request to Delete if we cannot reasonably verify your identity in connection with your request.
- You may also designate an authorized agent to make a Request to Know, Request to Correct, or Request to Delete on your behalf. To designate an authorized agent to act on your behalf, you or your authorized agent must submit proof that either (1) such agent has actually been authorized in writing to act on your behalf, or (2) you have provided the authorized agent with power of attorney under the applicable laws in your jurisdiction. You may submit such proof by e-mailing us at hq@nuggetcomfort.com. If a duly-designated authorized agent makes a Request to Know, Request to Correct, or Request to Delete on your behalf, we will still require you to verify your own identity using the process described above, unless an exception applies under applicable law in your jurisdiction (for example, you have submitted verifiable proof to us that you have provided the authorized agent with power of attorney).
No Differential Treatment
If you choose to exercise any of the rights described in the Section above titled “Accessing, Correcting, and Deleting Your Information: Generally,” you will not receive differential treatment by us as a result (e.g., different prices or quality of services), except to the extent permitted by applicable law (including if those differences are reasonably related to the value of your Personal Information).
Opt-Out of Data Sharing / Targeted Advertising
In certain cases, our disclosure of your Personal Information to third parties may constitute “sharing” as such term is defined under the CCPA, or our uses of Personal Information may include uses for the purpose of serving targeted advertisements to you as defined under the laws of other states. Specifically, we may share your Technical Information and/or Internet Activity with certain third-party advertising services providers (or such third-party advertising service providers may collect your Technical Information and/or Internet Activity directly on our behalf), including for the purposes of issuing personalized and/or behavioral advertisements to users across distinctly-branded websites, applications, or services other than our Website. Please note that our Personal Information sharing practices do not involve either (1) the sharing of any Sensitive Personal Information or (2) the sharing of information about individuals we know are under the age of 16.
The CCPA permits California residents to “opt-out” of the “sharing” (as such term is defined under the CCPA) of their Personal Information. If you are a California resident and would like to exercise such “opt-out” right, please send an e-mail to hq@nuggetcomfort.com or otherwise contact us using the information set forth below. Please mention that you are making a “CCPA Opt-Out” request.
Additionally, the laws of certain other states permit residents of such states to “opt-out” of the use of Personal Information for targeted advertising purposes. If you are a resident of such a state and would like to exercise such “opt-out” right, please send an e-mail to hq@nuggetcomfort.com or otherwise contact us using the information set forth below. Please mention that you are making a “Targeted Advertising Opt-Out” request.
California “Shine The Light” Disclosure
The California Civil Code permits California residents with whom we have an established business relationship to request that we provide a list of certain categories of Personal Information that we have disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year.
