How Kids BioCare™ uses cookies and similar technologies — what they are, why we use them, and how to manage your preferences.
In plain English: We use essential cookies to make the website work. We use analytics cookies (with your consent) to understand how people use the site. We do not use advertising or targeting cookies, and we never sell cookie data to third parties.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over time, so you don't have to re-enter them every time you visit or navigate between pages.
Similar technologies — including pixel tags, local storage, and session storage — work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by other services appearing on the page are called third-party cookies.

We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural targeting, or cross-site tracking. We do not sell cookie data to any third party.
