Cookies and Other Similar Technologies Policy

Last updated: March 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie and Similar Technologies Policy (“Policy”) explains how Glasdon, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies (“Cookies”) on us.glasdon.com.
We use Cookies to ensure website functionality, improve user experience, analyze website performance, and support advertising activities. This Policy also outlines your rights under applicable U.S. privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), effective January 1, 2026.

By using our website, you acknowledge the use of Cookies as described in this Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. Cookies may remain only for your browsing session (“session cookies”) or persist until manually deleted (“persistent cookies”). They do not contain sensitive personal information such as home address or payment details.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

a) Strictly Necessary Cookies

Required for core website functions such as navigation, security, and shopping cart operations. These Cookies cannot be disabled because they are essential for the website to function.

b) Performance & Analytics Cookies

Used to understand how visitors interact with our website, identify errors, analyze usage patterns, and test page layouts or features.

c) Functionality Cookies

Allow the website to remember your preferences (e.g., region, language) and provide enhanced, personalized features.

d) Advertising & Targeting Cookies

Used to deliver more relevant advertising, measure ad performance, and enable retargeting. These Cookies may be considered “sharing” under CPRA and may require opt‑out options.

4. How U.S. Privacy Laws Affect Cookie Usage

a) Cookies as Personal Information

Most U.S. state privacy laws—including California's CCPA/CPRA—treat unique identifiers such as cookies, device IDs, IP addresses, and tracking pixels as personal information.

b) Opt‑Out Rather Than Opt‑In (U.S. Standard)

Unlike the EU, U.S. privacy laws generally do not require prior consent before placing Cookies. Instead, consumers must be given the ability to opt‑out of:

  • Sale of personal information
  • Sharing of personal information for cross‑context behavioral advertising (CPRA requirement)

c) Global Privacy Control (GPC) Signals

Beginning January 1, 2026, California requires businesses to honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals as valid opt‑out requests. Websites must also provide clear indications that opt‑out requests have been honored (e.g., “Opt‑Out Request Honored”).

d) Minors' Data

If we knowingly process data belonging to minors under 16, we will request opt‑in consent before using Cookies that involve selling or sharing personal information.

5. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to:

  • Request to know what personal information we collect
  • Request deletion or correction of your personal information
  • Opt‑out of the sale or sharing of your personal information
  • Limit the use of sensitive personal information

6. How to Opt Out of Cookies

a) Opt-Out for California Residents

You can opt‑out of:

  • Sale or sharing of your personal information
  • Use of Cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising

via our “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the website footer.

We also automatically detect and honor GPC browser signals beginning January 1, 2026.

b) Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Users can disable non‑essential Cookies via browser settings. Rejecting cookies will not prevent access to the site but may affect performance or personalization.

7. Third‑Party Cookies

Some Cookies are placed by third‑party services such as:

  • Analytics platforms
  • Advertising networks
  • Social media integrations

Where these Cookies share or sell personal information, opt‑out controls will be provided per U.S. state privacy laws.

8. State‑Level Privacy Laws Coming in 2026

As new state privacy laws for Kentucky, Rhode Island, and Indiana take effect January 1, 2026, we will continue updating our practices to reflect opt‑out rights and transparency requirements in affected jurisdictions.

9. Recording Opt‑Out Preferences

We maintain logs of opt‑out and GPC signals as required for compliance verification and auditing.

10. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect evolving U.S. privacy laws, enforcement trends, or technical changes. The “Last updated” date will always be shown at the top.
