Cookies

Last updated: 29 April 2026 

This Cookie Notice explains how websites operated within the Dorel Juvenile group of companies (referred to herein as “we“ or “us“) (and in some instances, may be operated in conjunction with one of our distribution partners) use cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our websites ("Websites").  It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.  Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. 

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Dorel Juvenile) are called "first party cookies".  Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies".  Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics).  The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites. 

We use both temporary session cookies, which are deleted at the end of the browser session, and persistent cookies, which remain on the device for a predetermined period, unless they are deleted or removed by the user before the end of that period. 

The use of cookies often involves the collection of personal data. For information on the personal data, we collect through cookies and how we use this data, please refer to our privacy statement . In our privacy statement, we also explain how and why we collect and use your personal data and which rights you may exercise regarding the processing of your personal data. What types of cookies do we use?

We use technically necessary cookies, also referred to as functional cookies, on our Website. These cookies contribute to the basic functioning of our Website. The purpose of using necessary cookies is to enable you to navigate the website, use its basic functions, and ensure its security. Necessary cookies for example adjust the website to the size of your screen and allow for easier navigation. Necessary cookies do not collect information for marketing purposes, nor do they store details about other websites you visit. The data is not used to create a user profile of you.  

We are permitted to install necessary cookies without obtaining the Website visitor’s consent. Data processing related to necessary cookies is required to protect our legitimate interest in providing a fully functional website. Upon visiting our Website, we do inform you about the placement of these cookies via the cookie banner displayed at the bottom of the webpage. 

We also use optional, non-necessary cookies, but only if you have provided your consent for the installation of such cookies via the cookie banner on the Website. An example of these optional cookies are analytical cookies or statistics cookies, which we use to gain further insight into interactions with our Website. These cookies allow us to map visitor locations and analyse the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. We only apply these cookies and process your location data with your consent. 

Another type of optional cookies applied by us if you provide your consent are tracking cookies, also known as marketing cookies. These cookies create an overview of Website visitors’ online behaviour and browsing history, for the purpose of showing personalized advertisements and to track which advertisements you have seen. We only apply these cookies with your consent. 

More information about the type and use of our cookies is described below.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Websites.  Third parties serve cookies through our Websites for advertising, analytics and other purposes.  This is described in more detail below.

The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Websites and the purposes they perform are described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Website you visit):

An overview of the cookies used by us is included in the table below.  

Types of cookies

Essential website cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Websites and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Websites to you, you cannot refuse them.

You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings however, as described below under the heading "How can I control cookies?"

Performance, functionality, customisation and analytics cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Websites but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos and secure login areas) may become unavailable. They may also be used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Websites are being used or how effective are marketing campaigns are, or to help us customise our Websites for you.

To refuse these cookies, please follow the instructions below under the heading "How can I control cookies?"

Advertising cookies: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

To refuse these cookies, please follow the instructions below under the heading "How can I control cookies?"

Social networking cookies: These cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Websites through third party social networking and other websites. These cookies may also be used for advertising purposes too.

To refuse these cookies, please follow the instructions below under the heading "How can I control cookies?"

Other tracking technologies

Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website.  We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, such as software development kits (SDKs) and web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs").  

These technologies are used on our websites and (where applicable) in our mobile applications to collect information in real time. They may collect:

  • Event data, such as page views, product views, clicks, purchases, interactions with website features, and responses to marketing messages;
  • Device and technical data, such as device type, operating system, browser information and language settings;
  • Push tokens, where you have opted in to receive push notifications, which are used solely to deliver those notifications to your device.

Web beacons are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our Websites or opened an e-mail that we have sent them.  This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Websites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns.  In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Our Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention and for other site operations.

If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).

Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.

Targeted Advertising

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Websites. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by them using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other personally identifying details unless you choose to provide these.
