Last Changes to Cookie Policy: August 22, 2025 

This website is owned and operated by Thensome, Inc.  

Thensome, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the “Thensome”, “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website to improve user experience, analyze website traffic, and provide personalized content.  Our “Site” collectively means our websites, emails, apps, and other services that link to this Cookie Policy.  This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and other tracking technologies (e.g., pixels) (collectively “tracking technologies” or “trackers”), your choices regarding their use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

By using our website, you agree to our use of cookies and other tracking technologies as described in this policy. 

1. What is a Tracking Technology? 

We use a variety of tracking technologies.  The two (2) main types are explained below.  This list is intended to include all categories that we use, although the categories may vary depending on the use of our Site. 

We use tracking technologies to enable our services to recognize your web browser and tell us how and when you visit and otherwise use the services through the internet, to analyze trends, and to learn about our user base so that we can improve our services and your experience. 

We may combine non-personally identifiable information collected through trackers with other personal information that we have about you, for example, to tell us who you are or whether you have an account.  We may also supplement the information we collect from you with information received from third parties in order to enhance our services, or to offer you information that we believe may be of interest to you. 

1.1 Cookies. 

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website.  These files help websites recognize users, remember preferences, and track site activity for analytical and advertising purposes. 

Cookies can be classified as follows: 

• First-party cookies: These are cookies set by us (or on our behalf) on our site.
• Third-party cookies: These are cookies set by other companies whose functionality is embedded into our Site, such as google.com.
• Session cookies: These are cookies that are temporarily stored on your device while you visit our Site.  They expire when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies: These are cookies that are stored on your browser for a period of time after you leave our Site.  They expire on a set expiration date, or when they are deleted manually. 

1.2 Pixels. 

Pixels (also known as “web beacons”, “GIFs”, or “bugs”) are one-pixel transparent images located on web pages or messages.  They track whether you have opened these web pages or messages.  Upon firing, a pixel logs a visit to the current page or message and may read or set cookies. 

Pixels often rely on cookies to work, so turning off cookies can impair them.  But even if you turn off cookies, pixels can still detect a web page visit. 

2. Types of Trackers We Use. 

We use the following categories of cookies on our website: 

2.1 Essential Trackers (Strictly Necessary). 

These trackers are required for the website to function properly and cannot be disabled. They help with: 

• Website security and fraud prevention;
• Managing user sessions and logins; and
• Remembering shopping cart items and order processing. 

Example: Authentication cookies that allow you to stay logged into your account. 

2.2 Performance and Analytics Trackers. 

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting anonymous usage data.  We use this information to: 

• Monitor website traffic and detect errors; 
• Improve Site performance and user experience; and 
• Measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. 

Example: Google Analytics cookies track page visits and time spent on our Site. 

2.3 Functional Trackers. 

These cookies enhance your browsing experience by remembering: 

• Language and region preference; 
• Login details and shopping cart selections; and 
• Custom display settings. 

Example: A cookie that saves your preferred shipping address for faster checkout. 

2.4 Targeting and Advertising Trackers. 

These cookies are used for personalized advertising and marketing.  They help us: 

• Show relevant ads based on your browsing behavior; 
• Prevent you from seeing the same ad multiple times; and 
• Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. 

These trackers may also be used to support cross-context behavioral advertising, meaning the display of ads based on your activity on other websites or across different services over time.  If you wish to opt out, you may do so through our cookie banner or by enabling supported browser privacy controls. 

Example: Facebook Pixel cookies track your interactions with our Site for targeted ads. 

Cookie retention periods vary.  Some cookies expire at the end of your session (session cookies), while others may remain on your device for up to twenty-four (24) months or until manually deleted (persistent cookies).  Specific durations depend on the cookie’s purpose and configuration. 

3. How We Use Trackers. 

We use trackers to: 

• Improve website navigation and usability; 
• Provide a secure and seamless shopping experience; 
• Customize content and product recommendations; 
• Analyze visitor behavior and trends; and 
• Display relevant ads across different platforms. 

We do not use cookies to track sensitive personal information (such as financial details or health data) without your consent. 

Third parties may collect and process your personal information under their own privacy notices, which we do not control.

We only place non-essential cookies (such as performance, functional, and advertising trackers) after you have provided explicit consent, where required by Applicable Law. 

4.4. Opt-Out Preference Signals 

Some browsers and browser extensions support Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals that communicate your preference to opt out of certain types of data processing, including the sale or sharing of your Personal Information.  When we detect such signals, we will make reasonable efforts to honor them in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
