How Cookies & Tracking Data Are Collected & Used
There are two tools which we use, from Google, to help us with our website analytics. These tools help us understand customer traffic patterns but, importantly, cannot be linked to you personally (at least not by us).
Google gives us traffic information in the aggregate only (such as: how many people visited this particular page on our website, where people are from, devices they use to access our site and so on). Those two tools are Google Analytics and Google Search Console.
The privacy policy for Google can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Another tool we use to help us with our website analytic information is Statcounter. Statcounter gives us traffic information in the aggregate only, such as: how many people visited a particular page on our website, where people are from, devices they use to access our site and so on.

Affiliate Program Tracking
Fancy Gift Wrap may engage in affiliate marketing, which is done by embedding tracking links into the Website.
Clicking on any adverts, sponsored or affiliate links may track your actions by using a cookie saved to your device. Your actions are usually recorded as a referral from our website by this cookie. In most cases we earn a very small commission from the advertiser or advertising partner, at no cost to you, whether you make a purchase on their website or not.
We use advertising partners in these ways to help generate an income from the website, which allows us to continue our work and provide you with the best overall experience and valued information.
Sylvia Mayfield is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and links to Amazon.com. As part of this Amazon Associates program, the Website will post customized links, provided by Amazon, to track the referrals to their website. This program utilizes cookies to track visits for the purposes of assigning commission on any sales.
Social Media
Our website features social sharing buttons for some or all of the following social Media: Facebook, Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Yummly, Flipboard and Twitter.
These buttons help you share web content directly from our web pages to these social Media Platforms via your own account/profile. These companies do track your interests, and will use the profile they develop on you for their own purposes.
Users should be mindful, that this could include giving 3rd parties access to your personal profile. Users should therefore use the social sharing buttons at their own discretion, and only to the degree that they are comfortable with the privacy policies for these platforms.
