Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 22, 2026
Catseat.com uses a small number of cookies. This page lists them, what they do, and how to turn them off. It works alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers everything else we collect. The site is published by Woman Getting Media LLC.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device so it can remember something between page loads or visits: that you’re the same visitor, that you already dismissed a popup, that a referral came from a particular site. Related tools like pixels and local storage do similar jobs, so for the rest of this page, “cookies” covers all of them.
The cookies on Cat Seat
Cookies the site needs to function
Session and security cookies keep the site working as you move between pages and help protect against spam and abuse. These don’t require consent, because the site can’t function without them.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, installed through Google’s Site Kit plugin, to see which articles people read and where readers come from. It sets cookies such as _ga and _gid. What we see is aggregated traffic data, not personally identifying information. Google’s side of it is covered by the Google Privacy Policy, and you can opt out entirely with the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
Comment and preference cookies
If you leave a comment and check the box to save your details, WordPress sets a cookie so the form remembers your name and email next time. Dismissing a notice or popup may also set a small preference cookie.
Newsletter form
Our newsletter runs on Kit (formerly ConvertKit). Kit’s signup form may set its own cookie to remember that you’ve already subscribed.
Affiliate cookies (set by retailers, not by us)
When you click an Amazon link in one of our articles, Amazon sets cookies on amazon.com to credit the referral to us, and the same goes for any other retailer we link to through an affiliate program. We don’t control those cookies; each retailer’s own cookie policy covers them.
Advertising cookies
Cat Seat runs display ads, and the partner that places them sets cookies and similar identifiers in your browser. Those decide which ads you see, limit how often you see the same one, and measure whether an ad worked. Section 4 of our Privacy Policy names that partner and links to its advertising privacy statement, and the opt-outs are collected on our Your Privacy Choices page.
Social media
Sharing our content on Pinterest, Facebook, or Instagram, or viewing social posts embedded on the site, can allow those platforms to set their own cookies, which we don’t control.
Turning cookies off
Every major browser lets you view, delete, and block cookies from its settings or privacy menu:
Blocking the strictly necessary ones may break parts of the site; the rest you can manage however you like.
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. There’s still no agreed industry standard for what that signal should mean, so like most sites, we don’t currently respond to it.
Updates and questions
If we add a tool that uses cookies, this page gets updated and the date at the top changes. Questions about any of it can go to [email protected].
