1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Similar technologies include local storage and tracking pixels. They help a site remember things (like your cart), understand how it's used, and measure advertising. In this policy, "cookies" covers all of these.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
| Type | Purpose | Consent needed? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Keep the site working: your shopping cart, cookie choices, dismissed banners, and secure checkout. | No — always on |
| Analytics | Help us understand which pages are visited and how the site performs (Google Analytics). | Yes |
| Marketing / Advertising | Measure ad performance and show relevant ads on social platforms (Meta Pixel). | Yes |
3. Third-Party Cookies
- Google Analytics — anonymous usage statistics. How Google uses data.
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel — ad measurement and audiences. Meta cookie policy.
- HubSpot — may set cookies when you submit a form, to connect your email preferences to your subscription. HubSpot cookie policy.
- Stripe / PayPal / Hostinger checkout — essential fraud-prevention and payment cookies set during checkout. Stripe cookie policy.
Affiliate partners you visit through our links may set their own cookies on their websites to track referrals. Those cookies are governed by the partner's own policies.
4. Your Consent
On your first visit, a banner asks whether to allow analytics and marketing cookies. Choose "Accept All" to allow them or "Essential Only" to decline. We don't load Google Analytics or the Meta Pixel until you accept. You can change your choice at any time using the button below.
5. How to Manage or Disable Cookies
You can also control cookies in your browser settings — block them, delete them, or get a warning before they're stored:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
To opt out of Google Analytics across all sites, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You can manage ad preferences in your Facebook and Instagram settings.
6. What Happens If You Disable Cookies
Declining analytics and marketing cookies won't affect your ability to shop. Blocking all cookies or local storage in your browser, however, may stop your cart from saving items, keep banners from remembering your choices, and prevent checkout from working properly.
