Cookie Policy

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!

The short version, in plain English

  • Like almost every website, Meowive uses cookies — small files that help the site work and let us understand how it's used.
  • Some cookies are essential (the site won't work without them). Others are analytics, advertising, and preferences.
  • We use Google AdSense and Google Analytics, which set their own third-party cookies — including Google's DART cookie for advertising.
  • You can manage, block, or delete cookies anytime through our consent banner or your browser settings.

This Cookie Policy explains how Meowive ("we", "our", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on meowive.com (the "Site"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They allow a site to remember information about you — such as preferences, login state, or items in a cart — between visits and pages. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by Meowive) or "third-party" (set by services we use such as Google).

This policy also covers similar technologies — including web beacons, pixels, local storage, and SDKs — which we refer to collectively as "cookies" for simplicity.

Why we use cookies

Meowive uses cookies to:

  • Keep the Site working (essential functionality, security, fraud prevention).
  • Remember your preferences (language, region, consent choices).
  • Understand how visitors use the Site through aggregated analytics.
  • Serve relevant advertising and measure ad performance.
  • Enable affiliate-link attribution so partners can compensate us correctly.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

Required for the Site to function. They handle security, session management, and load balancing. The Site will not work properly without them. These cannot be switched off through our consent banner.

Performance & analytics cookies

Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site — which pages are popular, where users come from, and how the Site performs. We primarily use Google Analytics 4 for this purpose. Data is aggregated and used to improve our content and Site performance.

Functional & preference cookies

Remember choices you make to give you a better experience — for example, your cookie-consent preference, dismissed banners, or saved newsletter status.

Advertising & targeting cookies

Used by our advertising partners (including Google AdSense and affiliate networks) to show you ads more relevant to your interests, limit ad frequency, and measure ad effectiveness. These cookies may track your activity across other websites.

Google AdSense & the DART cookie

Meowive uses Google AdSense to display advertising. As a third-party vendor, Google uses cookies to serve ads on Meowive. Google's use of the DoubleClick DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to this and other websites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of personalized advertising from many participating third-party vendors via the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page or, for European users, Your Online Choices.

Third-party cookies on Meowive

The following third parties may set cookies through Meowive. This list is illustrative and may change as we update the services we use.

How to manage or disable cookies

You have several ways to control cookies:

  • Our consent banner: on first visit, you can accept or manage non-essential cookies.
  • Browser settings: every major browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) lets you view, block, or delete cookies. Search your browser's help for "cookie settings".
  • Ad-specific opt-outs: use the Google Ads Settings, DAA, or Your Online Choices links above.
  • Mobile devices: iOS and Android both let you reset or limit your advertising identifier in privacy settings.

Disabling cookies may affect how the Site works for you — some features (login, cart, preferences) may not function correctly.

Do Not Track signals

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no industry standard for how websites should respond, and Meowive does not currently respond to DNT signals. You can still manage tracking through the cookie controls described above.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the services we use or new legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision.
