Effective Date: April 16, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how the American Sheep Industry Association (“ASI”) and the American Lamb Board (“ALB”) (collectively, “we,” “our,” or “us”) use cookies and similar tracking technologies on Sheep IQ.

1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to remember user preferences, and to provide information to site operators about how visitors interact with their content.
Similar technologies — including web beacons, pixels, and local storage — may also be used for comparable purposes and are collectively referred to as “cookies” in this policy.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, security, and access to site features. No personally identifiable information is stored in these cookies.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to understand how visitors interact with our site by collecting anonymized or aggregated data, including pages visited, time spent, and traffic sources. This information is used solely to improve site performance and content. We may use third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics for this purpose.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality such as remembering your preferences (e.g., language settings or previously viewed content). Disabling these cookies may affect site functionality.
Third-Party Cookies
Our site may include embedded content or links from third-party platforms, including social media channels and external video providers. These third parties may place their own cookies on your device. We do not control the placement or use of third-party cookies. Refer to the respective third party’s cookie or privacy policy for details.
3. How Long Are Cookies Retained?
Cookies are retained for varying periods depending on their type:
- Session cookies are temporary and deleted when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted
The specific retention period for each cookie depends on the technology used and its purpose.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

5. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. There is currently no industry-standard response to DNT signals. Our site does not alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals at this time.
