Notice: This is our current Phase 1 policy. We review and update it as Cabinet Bed Authority evolves; the “Last updated” date reflects the latest revision. For questions, contact privacy@cabinetbedauthority.com.

This Cookie Policy explains how Cabinet Bed Authority LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on cabinetbedauthority.com and related properties. Read this together with our Privacy Policy.


1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They store information that helps the site remember you and your preferences across visits. Some cookies are set by us directly (first-party); others are set by services we use (third-party).

We also use similar technologies — local storage, pixels, and tags — that perform comparable functions. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these as “cookies.”


2. What we use cookies for

We use cookies for four purposes:

2.1 Essential cookies

These are required for the site to function. Examples: remembering items you’ve added to a comparison, securing forms against tampering. You cannot opt out of essential cookies because the site won’t work without them.

2.2 Analytics cookies

These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are read, where people drop off, what searches lead to us. We use this to improve the site. Our primary analytics provider is Google Analytics 4. Analytics cookies are aggregated and anonymized to the extent possible; we do not use them to identify individual users.

You can opt out of analytics by: - Adjusting the cookie consent banner when you arrive on the site - Installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on - Using your browser’s built-in privacy settings to block third-party cookies

2.3 Marketing and retargeting cookies

If you’ve visited the site, we may show you ads on other sites (Google, Meta) to remind you about cabinet beds you were considering. These cookies are set by ad networks and we manage them on a consent basis. You can opt out at any time.

2.4 Functional cookies

These remember preferences — your ZIP code (so you don’t have to re-enter it for the Finder), your dismissal of the cookie banner, your preferred display settings. Functional cookies make the site easier to use but the site works without them.


3. Specific cookies in use

The list below reflects cookies and similar technologies in use at the effective date of this policy. The list may change; we update it when material changes occur.

4. How to manage cookies

4.1 Through the cookie banner

When you arrive on the site, you’ll see a consent banner. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your choices. You can change your choice at any time by clicking the “Cookie preferences” link in the site footer.

4.2 Through your browser

All major browsers allow you to manage cookies through settings. Instructions:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Blocking essential cookies will prevent some site features from working.

4.3 Through third-party opt-out tools


5. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. There is no industry-wide agreement on how DNT should be honored. We currently do not respond to DNT signals; we respond to your choices through the cookie consent banner and your browser settings.


6. International transfers

Some of our service providers (including Google) process cookie data outside the United States. Where applicable, these providers have committed to safeguards consistent with applicable data protection laws.


7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated through the site banner.
