Cookie Policy
Last Updated: September 21, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Mending Meredith (“Mending Meredith,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit Mending Meredith.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more generally how personal information may be collected, used, and disclosed.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites can store on your browser or device when you visit them.
Cookies can perform a variety of functions. For example, they may help a website operate properly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the site, maintain security, or support functionality provided by third-party services.
Cookies may be:
First-party cookies, which are set by Mending Meredith or services operating directly through the website; or
Third-party cookies, which are set or controlled by another service integrated with or linked from the website.
Cookies may also be temporary session cookies, which generally expire after you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain for a specified period or until they are deleted.
2. How Mending Meredith Uses Cookies
Mending Meredith uses or may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Operate and secure the website;
- Remember cookie and website preferences;
- Prevent spam, fraud, or misuse;
- Support forms and other website functionality;
- Understand website traffic and performance, where analytics are enabled;
- Support newsletter signup functionality;
- Enable third-party or embedded content;
- Support affiliate tracking when affiliate links are used; and
- Support advertising or measurement technologies if advertising is introduced in the future.
The particular cookies used by Mending Meredith may change as the website, its plugins, and the services it uses evolve.
3. Types of Cookies
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Some cookies are necessary for Mending Meredith to operate properly.
These may support functions such as:
- Website security;
- Basic WordPress functionality;
- Spam prevention;
- Website sessions; and
- Remembering your cookie-consent choices.
Because these cookies are required for essential website functions, they may operate regardless of your preferences for optional cookies where permitted by applicable law.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Mending Meredith may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors find and use the website.
If enabled, these technologies may provide information such as:
- Pages viewed;
- Referring websites or traffic sources;
- General interaction with the website;
- Browser or device type; and
- Website performance.
Where consent is required, non-essential analytics technologies will be used in accordance with your cookie choices.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may support optional features or services used by Mending Meredith.
These can include functionality associated with forms, embedded content, newsletter features, social media integrations, or other website tools.
Disabling these technologies may affect the availability of some optional website features.
Affiliate Cookies
Some Mending Meredith articles may contain affiliate links.
When you click an affiliate link, the applicable retailer, affiliate network, or other third party may use cookies or similar technologies to identify that your visit or purchase originated from Mending Meredith.
This allows the affiliate provider to attribute qualifying purchases or actions so that Mending Meredith may receive a commission.
Using an affiliate link does not generally increase the price you pay.
Affiliate tracking is generally controlled by the applicable affiliate network, retailer, or other third party after you interact with the affiliate link.
For more information about affiliate relationships, please review our Disclaimer & Affiliate Disclosure.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Mending Meredith does not currently need to claim that it uses advertising cookies simply because advertising may be added in the future.
If Mending Meredith begins displaying advertising or using advertising-related tracking technologies, this Cookie Policy and the website’s cookie-consent configuration will be updated as appropriate.
Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as measuring advertisements, attributing conversions, limiting how often advertisements are displayed, or personalizing advertising.
Where consent is required, non-essential advertising technologies will be used in accordance with your cookie choices.
4. Newsletter Signup
Mending Meredith uses MailerLite to provide newsletter signup and email-list functionality.
When you interact with a newsletter signup form, MailerLite or related website technologies may process information necessary to provide the form, manage your subscription, prevent misuse, or measure the operation of the service.
If MailerLite or another newsletter-related service places cookies or uses similar technologies through Mending Meredith, those technologies may also be subject to your cookie preferences where applicable.
Providing your email address to subscribe to the newsletter is voluntary.
For more information about how newsletter information is handled, please review our Privacy Policy.
5. Third-Party Services
Mending Meredith uses third-party services to help operate and provide features on the website.
Depending on the services and features currently active, third parties may provide functions such as:
- Website hosting;
- Newsletter management;
- Contact forms;
- Spam prevention and security;
- Cookie-consent management;
- Website analytics;
- Affiliate tracking; and
- Embedded or social-media content.
Some third-party services may use their own cookies or similar technologies when you interact with their features.
Cookies controlled by third parties are generally subject to the privacy and cookie practices of those third parties.
6. Embedded Content and External Websites
Mending Meredith may include links to or embedded content from third-party websites or platforms.
Embedded content can sometimes behave as though you visited the third-party website directly. Depending on the provider, it may use cookies or collect information about your interaction with that content.
Similarly, when you click a link that takes you away from Mending Meredith—including a social-media, retailer, or affiliate link—the destination website may use its own cookies.
Mending Meredith does not control cookies placed directly by third-party websites after you leave Mending Meredith.
7. Your Cookie Choices
Mending Meredith provides cookie controls that allow visitors to manage applicable cookie preferences.
Depending on the technologies in use, you may be able to:
- Accept optional cookies;
- Reject non-essential cookies;
- Choose which categories of cookies you allow; and
- Change your preferences later.
Strictly necessary cookies may continue to operate because they are required for essential website functionality.
Where consent is required, optional cookies or similar technologies will be handled in accordance with the choices you make through the website’s cookie-consent tools.
This approach is consistent with Canadian privacy guidance emphasizing meaningful consent and clear choices for uses that aren’t necessary to provide a service. Office of the Privacy Commissioner
8. Changing or Withdrawing Your Cookie Preferences
You can change your cookie preferences using the cookie settings or consent controls available on Mending Meredith.
Changing your preferences will affect future use of applicable cookies and technologies. It does not necessarily remove cookies that have already been stored on your device.
You can delete previously stored cookies through your browser settings.
9. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their privacy or security settings.
You may also be able to configure your browser to restrict third-party cookies or notify you when a website attempts to store a cookie.
Blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality of Mending Meredith or other websites.
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada similarly notes that browsers provide cookie-management tools, while cautioning that blocking cookies can affect some website functionality. Office of the Privacy Commissioner
10. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
How long a cookie remains on your device depends on the particular cookie.
Session cookies generally expire after your browsing session ends.
Persistent cookies remain for a specified period or until you remove them.
Third-party services determine the lifespan of cookies they control.
Rather than listing fixed retention periods here that may become inaccurate when plugins or services change, information about individual cookies may be provided through the website’s cookie-consent tool where available.
11. Cookies and Personal Information
Information collected through cookies or similar technologies may, in some circumstances, constitute personal information or be combined with other information.
For more information about what personal information Mending Meredith may collect, why it is collected, how it may be shared, and your privacy choices, please review our Privacy Policy.
12. Changes to This Cookie Policy
Mending Meredith may update this Cookie Policy as the website evolves, including when plugins, analytics tools, affiliate programs, advertising services, or other technologies are added, removed, or changed.
When this policy is updated, the Last Updated date at the top of this page will be revised.
