It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites may store on a visitor’s computer, tablet, or mobile device.
Cookies can help a website function correctly, remember preferences, protect forms, understand visitor activity, and provide content from third-party services.
Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, and device identifiers.

These cookies are required for essential website operation and security.
They may support:
- Page navigation
- Form submission
- Security controls
- Spam prevention
- Cookie-consent preferences
- Website administration
- Load balancing

Because these cookies are necessary for the website to function properly, they generally cannot be disabled through the website’s cookie preference tool.

- Navigation paths
- Technical errors
Analytics information is used to evaluate and improve the website.
Non-essential analytics cookies should be activated only according to the visitor’s cookie choices where consent is required.
Third-Party and Embedded Content Cookies
Some pages may contain content or links provided by third parties, such as:
- Google Maps
- Google business services
- Embedded videos
- Security or CAPTCHA services
- Website analytics tools
These providers may place cookies or collect technical information when their content is loaded or used.
Their own privacy and cookie policies govern their data practices.

Little Explorers does not currently intend to use advertising, remarketing, or targeted advertising cookies.
This statement must be updated if services such as advertising pixels, remarketing platforms, or audience-targeting tools are added in the future.
4. Possible Website Technologies
Depending on the final website configuration, cookies or similar technologies may be created by:
- WordPress

Only the tools actually installed on the live website should be listed in the final cookie inventory.
5. Cookie Duration
Cookies may be:
Session Cookies
These cookies generally expire when the browser is closed.
Persistent Cookies
These cookies may remain on the device for a defined period or until the visitor removes them.
The exact duration depends on the cookie’s purpose and the provider that places it.
A cookie-consent platform or cookie scanner may display the current cookie names, providers, purposes, and expiration periods used by the live website.
6. Managing Cookie Preferences
When available, visitors can use the website’s cookie banner or preference center to:
- Accept all optional cookies
- Reject non-essential cookies

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred before the preference was changed.

- Review stored cookies
- Delete cookies
- Block all cookies
- Block third-party cookies
- Receive a warning before a cookie is stored

Little Explorers does not control the cookies, identifiers, or privacy settings managed independently by those providers.
9. Global Privacy Control and Similar Signals
Some browsers or extensions transmit privacy preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control.
Where applicable law requires recognition of such a signal and the signal relates to the website’s data practices, it will be handled appropriately.
Little Explorers does not intend to sell personal information or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
