At Thrive in Serenity, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website.

This Cookie Policy explains:

  • What cookies are
  • How and why we use them
  • How you can control or disable them

By continuing to browse or use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as outlined below.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help websites remember user preferences and actions over time — making your browsing experience smoother and more personalized.

Cookies are not viruses, and they cannot harm your device or access personal files.

3. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

  • Improve your browsing experience
  • Understand how visitors interact with our site
  • Personalize content and product recommendations
  • Measure affiliate marketing performance
  • Provide social media features
  • Deliver targeted advertising (e.g., via Google, Facebook, Pinterest)

4. Types of Cookies We Use

a. Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the core functionality of the site — like navigating pages, submitting forms, and protecting against fraud.

Example: Login sessions, security checks

b. Performance Cookies

These cookies help us analyze how users interact with our site — anonymously tracking metrics like traffic, time spent, bounce rate, etc.

Tools used: Google Analytics, Jetpack, Rank Math, etc.

c. Functionality Cookies

They remember your preferences (like language or region), so you don’t have to re-enter them each time.

d. Affiliate & Tracking Cookies

We partner with affiliate programs (e.g., Amazon, ClickBank, Digistore24, Awin, CJ, etc.), which place cookies to track if you made a purchase through our referral link — so we can earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you).

These cookies may remain active for 30–90 days depending on the affiliate partner.

e. Advertising & Retargeting Cookies

These are used to show you relevant ads based on your interests, even when you leave our site and browse other websites (via Google Ads, Meta, etc.).

They help us serve personalized promotions and content.

5. Third-Party Cookies

We may allow third-party services to place cookies on your device when you interact with our content, such as:

  • YouTube (embedded videos)
  • Facebook (social shares)
  • Pinterest (Pin buttons)
  • Google Analytics & Google Ads
  • Affiliate tracking platforms

These third-party cookies are governed by their own privacy policies, not ours. We recommend reviewing them individually.
