Cookie Policy
Otolaryngological Anthropology Incorporated ("Company," "we," "our," or "us") operates otoanthro.com (the "Site"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we and our service providers use on the Site, what they do, and the choices you have. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit. Cookies let a site remember things between pages and between visits — that you are signed in, what is in your cart, or that you have already dismissed a message. We also use related technologies that work the same way, including browser local storage (data the site saves in your browser) and small tracking pixels inside pages and emails. In this policy, "cookies" covers all of these.
The cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies. These make the Site work. They keep your shopping cart and your order together as you move between pages, keep you signed in if you have an account, remember the currency and region you are shown, protect forms and checkout against fraudulent submissions, and balance traffic across servers. The Site cannot function properly without them, so they are set whenever you visit. They include cookies set by our website platform, Wix (for example XSRF-TOKEN, bSession, svSession, ssr-caching), by our fraud-prevention provider, Forter (forterToken), and by PayPal when you choose PayPal at checkout.
Functional cookies and local storage. These remember small preferences so the Site behaves sensibly on your next visit — for example, that you have already seen our welcome message, and the number of items showing at the Order Desk. This information stays in your browser and is not used to identify you.
Analytics cookies. We use Google Analytics to understand how the Site is used in aggregate: which pages are read, how people arrive, and where they stop. These cookies (for example _ga and _ga_<ID>) collect usage data and a randomly generated identifier for your browser. We use this to improve the Site, not to identify you personally.
Advertising cookies. We advertise our products through Google Ads and Google Shopping. Google sets cookies (for example _gcl_au, and cookies from doubleclick.net) that let us measure whether an advertisement led to a visit or an order, and that may be used by Google to show you our advertisements elsewhere. Our products are also sold on Amazon; when you follow an Amazon link from our Site, Amazon applies its own tracking so that the sale is credited to us. Amazon's cookies are governed by Amazon's policies, not ours.
TikTok. We keep a TikTok account (@oto_anthro) and may promote our products there. When TikTok's measurement tool is active on the Site, TikTok sets cookies (for example _ttp) so that we can see whether a TikTok advertisement or post led to a visit or an order, and TikTok may use them to show you our advertisements on TikTok. If you arrive from TikTok, the link you followed may also carry an identifier that tells us the visit came from TikTok. What TikTok does with that information is governed by TikTok's own privacy and cookie policies.
Social media links and embedded content. Our pages link to our profiles on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Amazon. Following one of those links takes you to that company's own site, where its cookies and policies apply, and if you are signed in there it may record that you arrived from us. Where a page shows a video or post from one of these services directly, that company can set cookies as soon as the content loads, even if you do not press play. Our own how-to videos are served through our website platform, not through a social network.
Third parties who set cookies through our Site. Wix (website, store, and blog platform), Google (analytics and advertising), TikTok (advertising measurement and any embedded TikTok content), PayPal (payment), Forter (fraud prevention on Wix Payments), and Amazon (where you follow a link to an Amazon listing). We do not control these companies' cookies, and their own privacy and cookie policies apply.
What we do not do. We do not sell your personal information. We do not use cookies to collect health information about you, and nothing you read on this Site is used to build a health profile. We do not run advertising networks other than the ones named above.
How long cookies last
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay for a set period — typically from a few days up to two years, depending on the cookie and the company that set it — unless you delete them sooner.
Your choices
Your browser. Every major browser lets you see the cookies a site has set, delete them, block third-party cookies, or block cookies entirely. Look under Settings, then Privacy. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the Site — including the cart and checkout — will stop working.
Google. You can opt out of Google Analytics on every site using Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, and you can manage advertisement personalization at myadcenter.google.com.
TikTok. If you have a TikTok account, you can limit how your activity off TikTok is used for advertising in the TikTok app, under Settings and privacy, then Ads.
Global Privacy Control. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Do Not Track. Browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting, but there is no agreed standard for how sites should respond to it, and the Site does not respond to it at this time.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as the Site changes or as we add or remove service providers. When we do, we will post the revised policy here and change the effective date above.
