1) What this page covers

This page explains how we use cookies and similar technologies and how you can control your preferences. It complements our Privacy Policy and applies to visitors from the U.S. and other regions (including EEA/UK under GDPR).

2) Your choices (consent & opt-out)

• On your first visit, we ask for your consent for non-essential cookies.

• You can accept all, reject all non-essential, or customize categories anytime via the “Privacy Preferences” link in our footer.

• We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where legally required (e.g., California, some U.S. states).

3) Cookie categories

Strictly Necessary (always active)
Required for core site functions (security, network management, shopping cart, checkout). These do not require consent. Disabling via browser may break the site.

Functional
Enhances features (remembering preferences, saved items, improved support). If disabled, some features may not work as intended.

Analytics & Performance
Helps us understand usage to improve the site (e.g., page views, events, crash reports). Data is aggregated or pseudonymous where possible.

Advertising & Marketing
Used to deliver and measure ads, build audiences, and limit ad frequency. May involve third-party partners setting/reading identifiers across sites.

4) Do Not Sell or Share / Limit Use (CPRA, other U.S. state laws)

For California and similar U.S. state privacy laws: we may “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You may opt-out at any time through:

• Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information (footer link or preferences panel), and

• Respect of GPC signals on supported browsers.
  For sensitive personal information, we limit use to permitted purposes and offer choices where required.

5) Manage your preferences

Use the controls below (or the footer link) to change your settings at any time. Your choices are stored in a first-party cookie for up to 12 months, after which we will re-prompt.

• Accept all non-essential cookies

• Reject all non-essential cookies

• Customize by category (toggles)

6) Third-party partners

Depending on your selections, third parties may set cookies or similar identifiers. We contractually require appropriate safeguards. See the Cookie Table below for examples.

7) Retention

• Cookie lifetime varies by purpose and provider (see table).

• Preference cookies generally last up to 12 months (then we’ll re-ask).

• Analytics/advertising cookies typically last 3–13 months, depending on the provider.

8) Browser & device controls

You can also manage cookies via your browser/device settings (e.g., block, delete). Doing so may affect site functionality. If you block all cookies, some pages may not load or checkout may fail.

9) Updates

We may update this policy to reflect changes in law, technology, or our practices. Material changes will be posted with a new effective date.

10) Contact

Cookie Table (examples – replace with your actual stack)

Tip: keep this table on the policy page and maintain it whenever you add/remove vendors.

(If you don’t use a provider above, remove that row. If you use others—Hotjar, Klaviyo, etc.—add them with durations from their docs.)

Implementation Checklist (fast & safe)

1. Add links in your footer

• “Privacy Policy” (your full privacy notice)

• “Privacy Preferences” (scrolls/opens this panel)

• “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” (opens preferences with Advertising off + records CPRA opt-out)

2. Consent UI (CMP) behavior

• First visit banner: buttons = Accept All, Reject All, Manage Preferences.

• Region rules:

  • EEA/UK: block non-essential until consent (“opt-in”).

  • U.S.: allow opt-out for “Sell/Share” (Advertising).

• GPC: if detected, automatically set Advertising = Off for that user and display a small note “Your GPC signal has been honored.”

3. Category toggles → script control
   Only fire analytics/ads scripts after consent. Example mapping:

• Functional ON → enable chat/helpdesk.

• Analytics ON → load GA4.

• Advertising ON → load Meta/Google Ads tags.

4. Store consent
   Save consent_preferences (JSON) as a first-party cookie/localStorage for 12 months (then re-ask).

5. Page elements to include (copy-ready labels)

• Banner title: We value your privacy

• Banner body: We use cookies to enhance your experience, analyze traffic, and personalize marketing. You can manage preferences anytime.

• Buttons: Accept All • Reject All • Manage Preferences

• Panel categories: Strictly Necessary (always active), Functional, Analytics, Advertising
