Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember things about you, such as:

• Whether you are logged in
• What is in your cart
• Which pages you visited
• Whether you saw a particular ad

Cookies can be:

• First-party: set by the website you are visiting (for example, nicolesjungle.com).
• Third-party: set by another service used by the website (for example, analytics or advertising tools).

Similar technologies (such as pixels and local storage) are used in a similar way. I refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy.

2. How I use cookies

I use cookies and similar technologies on my site for:

1. Essential purposes

These cookies are needed for the site to work properly, for example to:

• Remember what is in your basket
• Let you log in to your account
• Move smoothly through checkout

Without these, you would not be able to use the site properly.

2. Analytics and performance

These cookies help me understand how people use the site, for example:

• Which pages are visited and for how long
• Which links are clicked
• Which plants and pages are most popular

I currently use:

• Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
• Hotjar (for example, heatmaps and anonymous session recordings)

This helps me improve the site and make better decisions. The data is generally aggregated and does not directly identify you.

3. Advertising and social media

These cookies help me:

• Show relevant ads for Nicole's Jungle on platforms like Facebook and Instagram
• Measure whether people saw or clicked an ad and then visited the site or placed an order

I currently use:

• Meta pixel (Facebook/Instagram)

These cookies may track some activity across different websites that use the same tools.

3. Managing cookies

You can control cookies in several ways:

Browser settings

Most browsers let you:

• Block all cookies
• Block cookies from specific sites
• Delete cookies when you close the browser

Check your browser's help pages for instructions.

Third-party opt-outs

Some providers offer their own opt-out tools for analytics or ads. For example:

• Google provides controls for Analytics and ads personalisation.
• Meta (Facebook/Instagram) provides ad preference settings in your account.

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect how well the site works. Essential cookies are needed for things like logging in and placing orders.

4. Changes to this policy

I may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if I add or remove tools. When I do, I will change the “last updated” date at the top of this page.
