This Cookie & Data Sharing Notice (the “Notice”) explains how Elefant Inc. (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on this website (the “Site”), and how we share data with third parties. Please read this Notice together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we process your personal information more broadly.
By continuing to use this Site, or by clicking “Accept All” in our cookie banner, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this Notice. You may withdraw or modify your consent at any time using the controls described below.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device and remember information about your visit — such as your language preferences, login state, and browsing behavior. Similar technologies (e.g., pixels, web beacons, local storage, and tags) work in comparable ways, and references to “cookies” in this Notice include these technologies.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Cookies on our Site can be classified along two dimensions:
- By duration: Session cookies are temporary and deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
- By origin: First-party cookies are set directly by this Site. Third-party cookies are set by external services we use (e.g., Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta).
3. Cookie Categories
We group cookies into four categories. You can choose which categories to allow via our cookie banner or by clicking “Cookie Preferences” in the site footer.
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, submitting a form, or setting privacy preferences. The Site will not work correctly without them.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting aggregated, anonymized information — such as pages visited, time spent, and click patterns. This information helps us improve our content and user experience.
3.3 Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertising relevant to your interests and to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns. They may be set by our advertising partners (e.g., Google Ads, Meta) to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other websites.
3.4 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences, recognizing you on return visits, and supporting features like chat widgets. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

5. Third-Party Data Recipients
To deliver the services above, we transmit certain personal data (such as your IP address, browser information, and interactions with our Site) to the following third parties. Each provider operates under its own privacy policy.
| Purpose | Service | Recipient | Privacy Policy |
| Analytics | Google Analytics | Google LLC | View policy |

| Advertising | Facebook Ads | Meta Platforms, Inc. | View policy |

Some of these providers (notably Google LLC and Meta Platforms, Inc.) are located in the United States and may transfer your data outside your country of residence. Where this involves transfers from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, these transfers are governed by appropriate safeguards under applicable data protection laws, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
6.1 Using Our Cookie Banner
When you first visit our Site, a cookie banner is displayed offering three options:
- Accept All — consent to all cookie categories
- Reject All — only strictly necessary cookies are used
- Manage — choose individual categories
You can change your preferences at any time by clicking Cookie Preferences in the site footer, which reopens the consent dialog.
6.2 Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most browsers also let you control cookies directly through their settings. Please note that blocking all cookies may impair some site functionality.
6.3 Opting Out of Advertising Networks
You can opt out of personalized advertising directly through the following industry tools:
- Google Ad Settings
- Meta (Facebook) Ad Preferences
- NAI Consumer Opt-Out (US)
- Your Online Choices (EU)
7. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Because there is currently no industry-standard interpretation of DNT signals, our Site does not currently respond to them. We honor your cookie preferences as set through our cookie banner instead.
8. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights in relation to personal data we process via cookies:
- Right of access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Right to rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data
- Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) — request deletion of your personal data
- Right to restrict or object — limit or object to our processing of your data
- Right to data portability — receive your data in a portable, machine-readable format
- Right to withdraw consent — withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal
- Right to lodge a complaint — file a complaint with your local data protection authority (e.g., the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK, or the relevant supervisory authority in the EU)
If you are a California resident, you also have the right, under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise this right, please adjust your settings via our cookie banner or contact us as described below.
9. Changes to This Notice
We may update this Notice from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. When we make material changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice (e.g., by displaying a banner on the Site). We encourage you to review this Notice periodically.
