This Cookie Policy describes how COLNOVA INC and its operating companies handle cookies and similar tracking technologies across colnova.com and other covered websites, applications, online stores, media properties, and digital services.
Effective August 23, 2026. Last Updated August 23, 2026.How does COLNOVA INC handle cookies?
Cookies are small data files stored through a browser or device. Related technologies may perform similar functions through pixels, software development kits, local storage, session storage, identifiers, conversion tags, embedded scripts, affiliate parameters, and server-side measurement.
COLNOVA INC operates digital publishing, media, e-commerce, software, mobile applications, and online advertising activities. Tracking technologies may support security, sessions, shopping carts, preferences, analytics, publishing metrics, commerce measurement, advertising attribution, affiliate referrals, application functions, and privacy preferences.
According to company portfolio information, COLNOVA INC owns more than 50 brands across international markets and represents more than 40 million users.
COLNOVA INC follows applicable privacy requirements according to the Platform, jurisdiction, processing activity, data category, and statutory scope.
What types of cookies may appear across COLNOVA Platforms?
Cookie categories depend on the Platform, installed services, account features, commerce functions, advertising configuration, and privacy preferences.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly Necessary Cookies support core technical, security, account, session, shopping-cart, checkout, fraud-prevention, network, privacy-preference, routing, and authentication functions.
Blocking essential technologies through browser settings may prevent important Platform functions from operating correctly.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
Analytics technologies may measure page views, article readership, referral traffic, device categories, approximate geographic region, application activity, navigation patterns, conversions, page performance, technical errors, and search interactions.
Analytics data may help evaluate COLNOVA PRESS readership, COLNOVA MARKET commerce activity, COLNOVA PUBLISHING publication interest, and COLNOVA LABS software performance.
Functional Cookies
Functional technologies may remember language, region, interface settings, accessibility preferences, saved selections, media preferences, login choices, or other optional Platform settings.
Blocking these technologies may remove remembered settings or affect optional Platform functions.
Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising technologies may process cookie identifiers, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, IP address, browser information, page activity, product interactions, advertisement interactions, referral sources, and conversion events.
Applicable consent and opt-out rights govern eligible targeted advertising, cross-context behavioral advertising, sale, or sharing activity.
Cookie and tracking practices across COLNOVA INC
These sections describe tracking technologies, commercial functions, privacy controls, state privacy rights, browser preferences, mobile device settings, advertising systems, and related processing.
1. What are cookies and tracking technologies?
Cookies store small amounts of information through a browser or device. Websites may recognize a browser, maintain sessions, remember preferences, support account security, measure activity, and operate technical functions through these files.
Related technologies may include web beacons, pixels, software development kits, local storage, session storage, device identifiers, conversion tags, affiliate parameters, embedded scripts, analytics identifiers, advertising identifiers, and server-side measurement systems.
2. Why does COLNOVA INC operate tracking technologies?
Tracking technologies may support website and application operation, secure sessions, account authentication, checkout protection, fraud detection, shopping carts, preferences, traffic measurement, readership metrics, publication interest, commerce performance, application performance, technical diagnostics, campaign measurement, affiliate attribution, conversion measurement, advertising frequency, and privacy preferences.
3. What consent model applies?
COLNOVA INC follows a U.S. privacy framework based on notice, applicable consumer choice, statutory opt-out rights, and affirmative consent where governing law requires consent before a specific processing activity.
A state law requiring affirmative consent for sensitive information or another defined processing activity controls the relevant processing when statutory scope applies.
Security, authentication, fraud prevention, legal compliance, and delivery of a requested service may follow statutory exceptions where applicable law permits such processing.
4. How do essential cookies operate?
Essential technologies may support secure login, shopping carts, checkout sessions, payment-session protection, fraud prevention, network security, server routing, session management, consent records, privacy preferences, and protection against malicious requests.
COLNOVA INC treats technology required for a requested service or legitimate Platform security separately from optional advertising technologies.
5. How do analytics technologies operate?
Analytics services may process pages viewed, articles read, session duration, referral source, browser type, device type, approximate region, application activity, navigation patterns, conversion events, loading performance, errors, and internal search interactions.
Providers may include Google Analytics or comparable measurement services where implemented on a particular Platform.
6. How do functional technologies operate?
Functional technologies may remember language, geographic region, display preferences, application settings, saved selections, media preferences, accessibility settings, or previously selected options.
Blocking these technologies may remove remembered preferences or prevent an optional feature from operating as intended.
7. How do advertising technologies operate?
Advertising providers may process identifiers, IP address, browser information, page activity, advertising interactions, product interactions, referral information, and conversion events.
These systems may support advertising measurement, attribution, audience creation, relevant advertising, frequency management, retargeting, and cross-platform campaign measurement where applicable law permits the activity.
8. What is targeted advertising?
Some U.S. privacy statutes define targeted advertising through personal data derived from consumer activity over time and across unaffiliated websites or applications.
Applicable consumers may hold opt-out rights when COLNOVA INC engages in processing meeting a statutory targeted-advertising definition.
Contextual advertising connected with content currently viewed may receive different treatment under applicable privacy statutes.
9. How does affiliate tracking operate?
COLNOVA PRESS and other COLNOVA properties may monetize eligible content through affiliate relationships.
An affiliate link may contain a referral identifier. A destination retailer or affiliate network may record the referral and associate an eligible transaction with the originating COLNOVA property.
Attribution may involve cookies, URL parameters, click identifiers, conversion tags, server-side attribution, browser identifiers, or device identifiers.
COLNOVA INC may receive a commission following an eligible transaction. An affiliate commission does not increase the customer's price unless the retailer expressly states different pricing.
10. How do third-party technologies operate?
Third-party providers may support analytics, advertising, social media, affiliate marketing, payments, fraud detection, customer support, media embedding, content delivery, security, e-commerce infrastructure, application distribution, publishing distribution, and advertising measurement.
A third party may receive information directly from a browser or device and process such information under its privacy policy and contractual relationship with COLNOVA INC.
11. How do payment technologies operate?
COLNOVA MARKET and other COLNOVA properties may integrate independent payment processors.
Payment technologies may maintain checkout sessions, authenticate transactions, detect fraud, process payments, prevent duplicate transactions, and support payment-security requirements.
Essential payment and fraud-prevention functions may remain active after optional advertising preferences change.
12. How do publishing and distribution partners handle cookies?
COLNOVA PUBLISHING may work with Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, IngramSpark, digital bookstores, print-on-demand providers, booksellers, libraries, wholesalers, and metadata distribution services.
A commercial relationship does not mean a provider automatically places a cookie on colnova.com.
A provider may process information under its own policies after a visitor follows an external link, interacts with an embedded function, or completes activity through an external distribution platform.
13. How does embedded content handle tracking?
A COLNOVA property may display videos, social posts, embedded feeds, sharing controls, commenting features, or interactive widgets.
External embedded-content providers may receive browser, device, IP address, and interaction information.
COLNOVA INC applies applicable privacy preferences before activating optional tracking connected with embedded content where governing law requires such treatment.
14. What is local storage?
Browser local storage and session storage may retain interface preferences, session information, application settings, cookie preferences, shopping information, and performance data.
Removing browser site data may erase stored preferences.
15. How do pixels and web beacons operate?
Pixels and web beacons may record a content load, campaign interaction, advertisement conversion, newsletter interaction, visit attribution, audience event, or affiliate transaction.
Applicable sale, sharing, targeted-advertising, and consent rules apply to pixel activity under the same statutory framework governing other tracking technologies.
16. How does email tracking operate?
Marketing messages from COLNOVA INC, COLNOVA PRESS, COLNOVA PUBLISHING, COLNOVA MARKET, or COLNOVA LABS may measure delivery, message interaction, link activity, campaign performance, and subscription engagement.
Email clients may provide settings restricting remote images or tracking pixels. Eligible commercial messages provide an unsubscribe mechanism for marketing preferences.
17. Does structured data track visitors?
COLNOVA INC may publish Schema.org markup, JSON-LD, semantic metadata, and machine-readable information describing corporate entities, books, authors, articles, products, applications, organizations, websites, and digital content.
Standard structured data describes public webpage information. Standard Schema.org markup does not function as a visitor-tracking cookie by itself.
Search engines and automated services may independently process public structured information after indexing a webpage.
18. Does COLNOVA INC sell personal information for money?
COLNOVA INC does not sell personal information to data brokers in exchange for money as part of its ordinary business model.
State privacy laws define sale, sharing, cross-context behavioral advertising, and targeted advertising differently.
COLNOVA INC provides eligible privacy controls when advertising or tracking activity falls within an applicable statutory definition.
19. How does California privacy law affect cookie choices?
Where the California Consumer Privacy Act applies, qualifying California residents hold rights involving sale and sharing opt-outs. California treats certain disclosures for cross-context behavioral advertising as sharing.
Covered businesses must honor qualifying opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control, under applicable California requirements.
COLNOVA INC evaluates California privacy obligations according to statutory applicability and the processing activity involved.
20. How does the Florida Digital Bill of Rights affect tracking?
Florida's Digital Bill of Rights applies only when statutory controller requirements and scope conditions are satisfied.
Where the statute applies, qualifying consumers may hold rights involving targeted advertising, sale of personal data, qualifying profiling, sensitive data, and certain recognition technologies.
COLNOVA INC may provide comparable privacy controls voluntarily even when a statutory threshold does not apply.
21. How do other U.S. privacy laws affect tracking?
Applicable state privacy statutes may grant qualifying residents rights involving targeted advertising, sale of personal data, profiling, sensitive information, or related processing.
COLNOVA INC evaluates privacy obligations according to each statute's scope, thresholds, exemptions, and relevant processing activity.
22. How do I request a sale or sharing opt-out?
A qualifying consumer may submit an eligible sale, sharing, cross-context behavioral advertising, or targeted-advertising request through the privacy control presented on the relevant COLNOVA Platform.
You may also submit a request through https://colnova.com/contact/ and identify the message as “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.”
23. How do Cookie preference controls work?
A COLNOVA Platform may provide a Cookie banner or privacy-preference interface for applicable tracking categories.
Available controls may present choices for optional technologies, nonessential technologies, category preferences, or eligible sale and sharing opt-outs.
A preference commonly applies to the browser or device storing the preference. Clearing browser data or switching devices may require a new selection.
24. How does Global Privacy Control work?
Global Privacy Control is a browser-based privacy preference signal.
Where applicable law requires recognition of a qualifying GPC signal, COLNOVA INC treats the signal as an eligible opt-out request for covered sale or sharing activity associated with the browser or device transmitting the signal.
A browser signal may not automatically identify unrelated offline records, another browser, another device, or a separate account without a reasonable technical link.
25. How do browser privacy controls affect cookies?
Modern browsers provide privacy settings for stored cookies, third-party cookies, site data, tracking restrictions, individual website permissions, and automatic deletion.
Blocking all browser storage may affect account login, shopping carts, checkout, saved preferences, security functions, or application features.
Browser settings operate separately from COLNOVA privacy controls.
26. How do mobile device controls affect tracking?
Mobile operating systems may provide privacy controls involving advertising identifiers, application tracking, location, notifications, camera, microphone, photos, Bluetooth, and contacts.
COLNOVA LABS applications rely on operating-system permission frameworks when an application function requires access to a protected device feature.
Optional permissions may be changed through device settings.
27. How do advertising-provider controls work?
Advertising providers may maintain independent privacy and advertising-preference systems.
Provider-level controls operate separately from COLNOVA INC preferences and may affect advertising across multiple websites or applications participating in a provider's network.
28. How do affiliate-provider controls work?
Affiliate retailers and networks may maintain independent tracking periods, attribution rules, privacy controls, advertising preferences, and retention practices.
After a visitor leaves a COLNOVA property through an affiliate link, the destination service governs its independent tracking practices under its own privacy terms.
29. How long do cookies remain stored?
Session Cookies generally remain active during a browser session and may support authentication, checkout, security, or temporary preferences.
Persistent Cookies remain for a defined duration or until deletion and may support remembered preferences, analytics, advertising, affiliate attribution, fraud prevention, or consent records.
Duration depends on the technology, Platform, purpose, privacy setting, and provider.
30. What data may tracking technologies process?
Depending on the technology and interaction, information may include IP address, cookie identifier, browser identifier, device identifier, advertising identifier, approximate geographic area, browser type, operating system, language, referral URL, page views, article views, product views, search activity, advertising interactions, affiliate interactions, conversion events, application events, session duration, date, and time information.
COLNOVA INC does not intentionally process sensitive personal information through ordinary advertising tracking without applicable notice, consent, and legal requirements.
31. How does profiling relate to tracking?
Advertising and analytics systems may create interest-related inferences based on digital activity.
Where legally defined profiling contributes to decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects, qualifying individuals may hold statutory opt-out rights.
COLNOVA INC does not intend ordinary advertising tracking for decisions involving employment, housing, lending, insurance, healthcare, education enrollment, or another similarly significant decision without separate disclosures and applicable legal protections.
32. How does COLNOVA INC address children's tracking?
General COLNOVA Platforms serve a general audience and do not primarily target children under 13.
COLNOVA INC does not knowingly build targeted advertising profiles from children under 13 through general-audience services in violation of applicable children's privacy requirements.
A covered child-directed service follows applicable parental notice, consent, security, retention, and deletion requirements.
33. Do essential security technologies remain active after an advertising opt-out?
Yes. An advertising opt-out does not prevent processing reasonably necessary for account protection, transaction authentication, fraud prevention, malicious-activity detection, network security, completion of a requested transaction, legal compliance, or protection of legal rights.
These functions remain separate from targeted advertising.
34. What happens after rejecting nonessential cookies?
Advertising may still appear after rejection of optional tracking. Advertising may become less personalized. Contextual advertising may remain active where legally permitted.
Essential technologies may remain active. Some preferences may stop persisting. Analytics may become limited. Affiliate attribution may change where COLNOVA controls the relevant tracking.
35. How do I withdraw Cookie consent?
Where processing depends on consent, withdrawal applies prospectively and does not invalidate lawful processing completed before withdrawal.
Available mechanisms may include the COLNOVA Cookie preference interface, browser settings, mobile device settings, an applicable Global Privacy Control signal, or the privacy contact methods on this page.
36. Does COLNOVA INC discriminate against privacy choices?
COLNOVA INC does not unlawfully discriminate against a consumer for exercising an applicable privacy right.
Declining optional tracking does not by itself prevent an ordinary purchase. A feature dependent on specific technical information may operate differently after the relevant information becomes unavailable.
37. How does this Policy relate to the Privacy Policy?
This Cookie Policy supplements the COLNOVA INC Privacy Policy.
The Privacy Policy addresses broader personal-information practices involving collection, disclosure, security, retention, state privacy rights, children's privacy, international transfers, and privacy requests.
A transaction-specific privacy notice controls a direct conflict involving the processing covered by the more specific notice.
Read the COLNOVA INC Privacy Policy38. How does COLNOVA INC update this Cookie Policy?
COLNOVA INC may revise this Policy following changes involving tracking technologies, advertising providers, affiliate relationships, Platforms, applications, analytics systems, privacy controls, or legal requirements.
COLNOVA INC publishes revisions with an updated Last Updated date.
Where applicable law requires renewed consent or additional notice for a material change, COLNOVA INC provides the required process before affected processing begins.
