Introduction

The purpose of this Cookie Policy is to describe how Andis Company (“Andis,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses and shares Cookies at and through websites owned and controlled by Andis, including but not limited to, andis.com and andis.org and related mobile applications (collectively, the “Site”). Please read this notice carefully to understand how we use Cookies on our Site. If you do not understand any aspects of our Cookie Policy, please feel free to contact us using the methods listed at the end of this policy.

What Are Cookies?

To make the Site work properly and to provide you with a personalized experience, we sometimes place Cookies on your device. A Cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the Cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store unique identifiers, user preferences, and other information, such as what pages you visit, your IP address, or how you arrived on the Site. Andis uses both persistent and session Cookies. Session Cookies are only stored in the Cookie file while you are actually using this Site. Persistent Cookies are stored for a specific time, but each Cookie may have a different lifespan. Andis also uses third-party Cookies, which are Cookies provided by our service providers for analytics and advertising.

In addition to Cookies, we use other website tracking technologies, such as pixels, web beacons, web storage, and unique advertising identifiers, to collect information about your browser, device, and use of the Site. In this Cookie Policy, we refer to Cookies and these tracking technologies collectively as (“Cookies”).

How Do We Use Cookies?

We and our service providers use Cookies to receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our Site through your computer or mobile device. Cookie information allows us to analyze use of the Site and our online advertisements, improves your experience on the Site, and allows you to use certain features on the Site. We also use Cookies to help ensure the marketing you see on the Site and other websites is relevant to you and your interests. Specifically, we use Cookies and other tracking technologies to:

• Remember your preferences when you visit our Site and allow you to enter your username less frequently;
• Uniquely identify each user session when you access the Site;
• Compile aggregated statistics to analyze how the Site is used;
• Present you with targeted advertising, including our content presented on other websites and across devices; and
• Measuring the effectiveness of our Site, content, communications, and advertising, including by placing web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs) that let us know which emails and links have been opened by recipients.

Social Media

Andis is active on social media pages, such as Facebook (Meta), LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram and Twitter (now X). Andis integrates social media widgets or features on the Site. These social media companies may recognize you and collect information about your visit to the Site, and they may set a Cookie or employ other tracking technologies. Your interactions with those features are governed by the privacy policies of those companies. Andis may display targeted advertising to you through such social media platforms. Such social media companies have interest-based advertising programs that allow Andis to direct advertisements to users who have shown interest in our products when you visit a social media platform. These advertisements are governed by the privacy policies of those social media companies that provide them and not by this Policy.

We use third-party services on our Site that help us deliver personalized advertisements to you across your devices, including those specified below.

Google Analytics and Its Advertising Features

Google Analytics is a third-party service that transmits website traffic data to Google servers in the United States. Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. We use reports provided by Google Analytics to help us understand Site traffic and web page usage. We have enabled and implemented the following Google Analytics Advertising Features: DoubleClick, GA Audiences, Google Tag Manager, and Google Beacons. We also use Google Maps which collects your Geolocation Data unless you disable that function . To prevent this data from being used by Google Analytics, follow the instructions to download and install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each web browser you use. Using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On will not prevent us from using other analytics tools and will not prevent data from being sent to the Sites themselves or to Google. Opting out will not affect your use of the Site.

For more information on how Google uses Personal Information, visit Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s page on How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.

Facebook/Meta

We use Facebook Connect and Custom Audience to deliver targeted advertisements to website visitors on Facebook based on email addresses that we have collected. For more information about Facebook's privacy practices, please refer to their privacy policy. To opt out, please visit here.

Microsoft Clarity

We use Microsoft Clarity to better understand website usage and improve site performance.

How Can You Control Cookies?

Most web browsers are set to accept Cookies by default. If you prefer, you can choose to disable non-essential Cookies on your browser, but doing so may prevent you from using the full features of the Site. You cannot disable all Cookies, such as Cookies that are essential to the functioning of the Site.

Disabling Performance or Targeting Cookies prevents the associated analytics and advertising technologies from collecting new data through our Site. Certain browser or third-party service identifiers may still be visible within your browser depending on the services you use and your browser configuration.

To customize our Cookie settings, please visit the Cookie Settings section below. You can control and/or delete Cookies as you wish. You can delete all Cookies that are already on your computer, and you can reset your browser to refuse all Cookies or to indicate when a Cookie is being sent. You may refuse the use of Cookies or modify or withdraw your consent to the use of Cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this Site.

You can learn how to opt out of some of those Cookies by accessing the Network Advertising Initiative’s website at https://thenai.org/how-to-opt-out/ or the Digital Advertising Alliance’s website at https://optout.aboutads.info/. For more information on mobile-specific opt-out choices, please visit https://thenai.org/how-to-opt-out/advertising-privacy-settings-on-mobile-devices/ from your mobile device. Changing your settings with individual browsers or ad networks will not necessarily carry over to other browsers or ad networks.
