Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Local Kids Guide ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website or use our mobile application (collectively, the "Service"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.

2. 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 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, Local Kids Guide) 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 (such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

3. Why Do 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 Service 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 Service. Third parties serve cookies through our Service for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Service to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Service will not then work.

3.2 Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Service. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Service. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our Service, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the Service to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our Service by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

4. Cookies We Use

The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Service and the purposes they perform are described below:

4.1 Essential Website Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Service and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.

4.2 Performance and Functionality Cookies

These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Service but are non-essential to its use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.

4.3 Social Media and Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests. They also perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

5. How Can You Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out links provided in the cookie table above, or by setting or amending your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.

If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Service, though your access to some functionality and areas of our Service may be restricted. You may also set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you decide whether to accept it or not.

Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. We currently do not respond to "Do Not Track" signals because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret these signals.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
