We also place cookies in your browser when you visit sites that are not SWEET AND DIVINE but host our plugins (e.g., the SWEET AND DIVINE 'Share' button or tags). What types of cookies does SWEET AND DIVINE use? We use two types of cookies: persistent and session cookies.

Do Not Track (DNT) is a concept promoted by U.S. regulators, such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, in the internet sector to develop and implement a mechanism that allows users to control the tracking of their online activities on different websites through their browser settings. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has been working for some time with industry players, internet browsers, technology companies, and regulatory entities to develop a DNT technology standard. While some progress has been made, it has been minimal. To date, no standard has been adopted. As such, SWEET AND DIVINE does not respond to Do Not Track signals. How are cookies used for advertising purposes? Cookies and other advertising technologies, such as web tags, pixels, and tags, help us present relevant ads more effectively. They also help us provide aggregated audit data, studies, and reports to advertisers, understand and improve our service, and know which content has been shown to you.
