Last Updated: March 20th 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how My Best Years uses cookies and similar technologies to provide, improve, and personalize our services, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By using our website, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on a visitor’s browser. They allow the site to remember your actions (like login status, cart contents) and collect non-identifying information to improve functionality. We explain below how our site uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them.

Cookies We Use

We use both first-party and third-party cookies on our website. The cookies on our site may be used for the following purposes:

Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the functioning of the website. They allow basic functionality like logging in, subscribing to services, and commenting on blogs. Without these cookies, the website may not function properly.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, such as which pages are viewed and how often. We use this data to improve the performance and user experience of our site.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enhance the functionality of the website by remembering choices you make (such as your language preference) and providing enhanced, more personal features.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies
These cookies are used to track the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, help us deliver relevant advertisements to you, and limit the number of times you see an ad. These cookies may be placed by third-party partners.

How We Use Cookies

The My Best Years website uses cookies for:

Essential functionality (Necessary): enabling secure login, remembering your cart contents during a shopping session, and running the site. Without these, core features (checkout, login, security) will break.
Preferences: storing your preferences, such as display settings or language choices.
Analytics/Statistics: tracking aggregate information about visits (e.g. Google Analytics cookies) to help us improve our site.
Marketing: serving ads or personalisation (if any third-party marketing cookies/pixels are used).
Subscription Services: When you subscribe to our newsletter or other communications, we collect your first name and email address. Cookies help us maintain your preferences for receiving communications and ensure that you stay logged in as needed.
Blog Comments: When you comment on our blog posts, we collect your first name and last name to identify and display your comment. Cookies help us remember your information for ease of future commenting.
Website Analytics and Functionality: We use cookies to understand how users interact with our site, analyze usage patterns, and improve site navigation, content, and design.

Cookie Categories: For clarity, our cookie policy categorizes cookies as decribed above. When you first visit, we show a cookie banner where you can accept all cookies, reject optional ones, or customize settings by category. Essential cookies will be enabled by default. Analytics/marketing cookies will only be set if you opt in.

Your Consent to Cookies

By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with our use of cookies, you may disable them through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may impact the functionality of some features of our site.

Legal Basis & Retention:

Where required, we rely on your consent to set analytics or marketing cookies. Necessary cookies are set on the basis that they are needed for the site to function. In Australia, the Privacy Act also allows collection of personal data by cookies if reasonably necessary for our functions.

In California and other USA states, cookies used for sale or sharing of personal data are subject to opt-out rights. My Best Years does not sell your personal data or information

We retain cookie data only as long as needed: e.g. session cookies last for a browser session.

Google Analytics cookies reset after 24h–2 years.

WooCommerce session cookies last ~48 hours.

and preference cookies up to 1 year.

Managing and Controlling Cookies

You can adjust cookie settings via our cookie banner or your browser. Most browsers allow you to clear or block cookies (see instructions below). If you withdraw consent for a category (e.g. analytics), we will disable those cookies from that point forward. Note that deleting or blocking all cookies may break site functionality. To change your consent choices later, click the “Cookie Settings” link in our site footer or refresh the page. For California/Colorado visitors, you may also set the Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser as a “do-not-sell/share” signal.

For Firefox: Go to Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
For Safari: Go to Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and website data.

Third-Party Cookies

We may include third-party services (e.g. Google Analytics) that set their own cookies. These are listed above (Google) and in the privacy policy. Third-party cookies are not controlled by us – consult the third party’s privacy information for details and opt-out tools. For example, to opt out of Google Analytics tracking entirely, you can use the [Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on] or use a privacy browser plugin.

Do Not Track (DNT)

Our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. If you wish to opt out of tracking for advertising purposes, you can use your browser settings to block or disable cookies.

California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal data under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). While we do not sell personal data, we may share data with third-party service providers for advertising and analytics purposes. You can adjust your cookie preferences to limit these activities.
