Cookie Policy
Updated August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Melissa uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, and the choices you have about them. For a complete description of how we handle personal information, please see our Privacy Policy, our Privacy Notice for California Residents, and our State Law Privacy Notice.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small data files stored on your browser or device. They may be set by Melissa ("first-party cookies") or by other companies whose tools operate on our site ("third-party cookies"). Pixels are small images on a web page or in an email that collect information about your browser or device and can set cookies. Local storage allows data to be stored on your browser or device.
The categories of cookies we use
Our cookie banner organizes cookies into four categories, and you can accept or decline each of the optional categories individually:
Necessary. Essential for the website to function, including the cookies that record your own cookie choices and any notices you have dismissed. These cannot be turned off.
Analytics. Help us understand how visitors use our site — which pages are popular, where visitors encounter problems, and how we can improve. These are optional.
Advertisement. Set by third-party advertising partners. Through these cookies and pixels, identifiers such as cookie IDs, device identifiers, and IP addresses, along with information about your interactions with our website, are made available to advertising networks. Some state privacy laws treat this as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information or as "targeted advertising." These are optional.
Functionality. Enable enhanced features such as embedded content and chat. These are optional.
Your choices
You have several ways to control cookies on our site:
The cookie banner. When you first visit, a banner lets you accept all cookies, decline optional cookies, or choose categories individually. If you decline a category, the tools in that category will not run, and previously set cookies in that category are removed.
Cookie Preferences link. You can change your choices at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of every page, which reopens the settings panel.
Opt-out preference signals. Our site recognizes the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal. If your browser sends this signal, we automatically decline all non-essential cookies for you, including those involved in the sale or sharing of personal information and targeted advertising, and we display a notice confirming that your signal was honored. No further action is needed from you, and you can change your preferences at any time using the Cookie Preferences link.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. The link in our footer takes you to a page where you can submit privacy requests, including requests to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. You can also exercise the cookie-level opt-out at any time using the Cookie Preferences link in the footer of every page.
Browser settings. Most browsers also allow you to clear or block cookies. If you block cookies, some features of our site may not function properly.
