Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 10, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Saltong ("Saltong," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit https://saltong.com and related pages (collectively, the "Website"). It describes the types of cookies we serve, why we use them, and the controls available to you.

We may combine cookie-derived information with other data about you and treat the aggregated information as personal data. Where required by law, we will request your consent before setting non-essential cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

  • First-party cookies are set by the website owner (Saltong).
  • Third-party cookies are set by parties other than the website owner (for example, analytics, advertising, or embedded content providers). These third parties can recognize your browser across different websites.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons:

  • Essential operations: Make the Website function, keep you signed in, route traffic, and prevent fraud.
  • Performance and functionality: Improve the way the Website works and remember your preferences.
  • Analytics and customization: Understand how visitors use the Website to improve features and content.
  • Advertising: Deliver, measure, and (where permitted) personalize advertising through third-party partners.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can manage your preferences through the Cookie Consent Manager displayed in our notification banner and within the Website footer. Essential cookies are always on because they are required to deliver services you request.

You can also set or modify your browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you disable cookies, some features of the Website may not function properly.

You can also reset or delete cookies through your browser or device settings at any time. Note that you need to manage settings separately on every browser and device you use.

Industry opt-out tools

Many advertising networks let you opt out of targeted ads across participating services:

Other tracking technologies

We may use web beacons (also known as clear GIFs or pixel tags) and similar technologies. They help us understand whether emails have been opened, measure on-site traffic patterns, and improve performance. These technologies often rely on cookies, so disabling cookies may limit their effectiveness.

Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects

Some websites use Flash Cookies (Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to store information about your preferences or activity. To manage Flash Cookies, visit Adobe's Website Storage Settings Panel and the Global Storage Settings Panel. Restricting Flash Cookies may impact certain Flash-based features.

Targeted advertising

Third parties may place cookies or web beacons on your device to show you ads on our Website or elsewhere online. These providers may use information about your visits to this and other sites to deliver relevant advertisements and measure campaign performance. The data collected does not enable us or them to identify you directly unless you choose to provide your details.

You can opt out of targeted advertising as described above (browser settings, industry tools, consent manager, or Global Privacy Control signals where supported).

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page regularly to stay informed. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when this Policy was most recently revised.
