This page explains the small files and similar technologies Talk to Santa may use when you visit our site. We use them to make the site work and, only when you allow it, to understand visits and support relevant communications.
01
What cookies do
Cookies are text files saved by your browser. Similar technologies can do a related job. They help a website remember a session, keep a choice, or send information to a service.
02
Always-on essentials
Strictly necessary cookies support site sessions, security, essential features and your consent choice. The site cannot provide these basics reliably without them. They are not used to build an optional advertising profile.
03
Optional choices
Analytics. If you allow analytics, Hotjar and Microsoft Clarity may help us understand site visits and improve the experience. Clarity is limited to selected anonymous, adult-facing public browsing pages, with page content masked. It is not enabled on signed-in visits, child activities, personalization or payment forms, private family libraries, staff consoles or live call rooms. Clarity does not start before analytics consent, and withdrawing analytics stops it and reloads the page. Google Tag Manager (GTM), where configured, is also started for an allowed optional category.
Marketing. If you allow marketing, OptiMonk, Facebook, Vimeo and YouTube may support relevant communications, on-site messaging, social features and the wish-list or intro videos. Klaviyo and marketing tags in Google Tag Manager may also be used.
These optional providers are not started through this consent experience unless you choose to allow their category.
06
How choices are retained
We remember your cookie choice for 30 days from when you save it. Returning visits do not extend that period. After 30 days, the consent popup appears again on your next visit. Clearing your browser storage can make it appear sooner. Vendor storage and cookie lifetimes vary by provider.
04
Your choice, whenever you need it
You can accept, reject or adjust optional choices at any time. Your settings apply to this site and can be changed again from the privacy choices control.
If the button is unavailable, use Privacy choices in the footer.
