This Cookie Policy explains how Bamboo Panda (“we,” “us,” or “our”), accessible at bamboopandatl.net (the “Site”), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our Site. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which can be found at https://bamboopandatl.net/privacy-policy/.
1. 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, Bamboo Panda) 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., 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.
2. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and potentially third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Site to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Site.
The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Site and the purposes they perform are described below:
- Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies:
- Purpose: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Site and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas (e.g., your member account if you are logged in via MemberPress). Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Site to you, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Site functions.
- Examples: Session cookies to keep you logged in, cookies to remember your cookie consent preferences.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies:
- Purpose: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Site is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Site for you.
- Examples: We may use Google Analytics (or a similar service) which uses cookies to collect information about your use of the Site and report website trends. (If you don’t use analytics, remove this example or adjust)
- Functionality Cookies:
- Purpose: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Site but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like remembering your preferences) may become unavailable.
- Examples: Cookies that remember your display preferences or language settings.
3. Your Control Over Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (other than strictly necessary cookies).
- Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Site though your access to some functionality and areas of our Site may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.

- Cookie Consent Banner/Tool: If we implement a cookie consent management tool, you will be able to manage your preferences for non-essential cookies through that tool.
4. Other Tracking Technologies
We may use other similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Site or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Site to another. (Adjust if not applicable)
5. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
