Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They're used to make the site work, remember your preferences, and — where you consent — to understand how the site is used.
2. Cookies this site uses
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Requires consent? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keep the site and cart/checkout working | Session/cart contents (stored via localStorage), cookie-consent preference itself | No — always active |
| Analytics | Understand how visitors use the site, in aggregate | Google Analytics 4 | Yes |
| Marketing | Not currently used on this site | — | N/A |
3. How consent works
On your first visit, a cookie banner asks you to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
- Accepting and rejecting are given equal visual weight — no dark patterns, no pre-ticked boxes.
- Non-essential scripts (Google Analytics 4) do not load until you actively accept them.
- Your choice is remembered for future visits and can be changed at any time via "Manage cookie preferences" in the footer, which reopens the banner/settings panel.
- Rejecting analytics cookies does not affect your ability to browse the site, add packages to cart, or check out — those functions rely only on strictly necessary storage.
4. Third-party cookies
Google Analytics 4 is the only third-party analytics tool used on this site, and it is consent-gated as described above. No marketing or advertising cookies are currently used.
5. Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies directly through your browser settings. Doing so may affect strictly necessary functionality such as your cart contents.
