Cookie Policy

Welcome to Chouchou Connect! This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

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, Chouchou Connect) 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., like advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

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 Website to operate, and we refer to these as ”essential” or ”strictly necessary” cookies. For example, we use cookies to:

• Authenticate users: To keep you signed in and remember your session.
• Remember preferences: To recall your settings and preferences, such as language or display settings.
• Improve user experience: To understand how you use our services so we can make them better and more intuitive.
• Provide security: To help protect your account and our platform from unauthorized access or fraudulent activity.
• Analytics and Performance: To collect information about traffic to our website and how users use the site. The information gathered does not identify any individual visitor. It includes the number of visitors, the websites that referred them, the pages they visited, etc. We use this information to help operate our website more efficiently, to gather broad demographic information, and to monitor the level of activity on our site.

The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Websites and the purposes they perform are described in more detail as you interact with our services (for example, our authentication provider, Clerk, may set its own cookies necessary for its service to function).

If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.
