1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites function properly, improve performance, provide reporting information, and assist with personalization. Cookies set by the website operator are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics, advertising, and payment processing.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the Services. They enable core functionality such as security, authentication, session management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the Services cannot function properly. Essential cookies cannot be disabled.
- Session cookies: Maintain your authenticated session so you remain logged in as you navigate the platform.
- Security cookies: Help detect and prevent fraudulent activity, cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and other security threats.
- Load balancing cookies: Distribute traffic across our servers to ensure optimal performance and availability.
- Channel identification cookies: Identify which merchant storefront you are visiting so we can display the correct content, products, and branding.
2.2 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Services by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This information helps us improve the functionality and user experience of the platform.
- Page view tracking: Records which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, and how they navigate between pages.
- Performance monitoring: Measures page load times, error rates, and other performance metrics to help us identify and resolve issues.
- Feature usage: Tracks which features are used most frequently to inform our product development priorities.

3. Third-Party Cookies

- Stripe: Our payment processor uses cookies to facilitate secure payment processing, fraud detection, and compliance with financial regulations. Stripe's cookie usage is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.
- Analytics providers: We may use analytics services to help us understand how the Services are being used. These services collect information sent by your browser, including your IP address and the pages you visit. The information is used to evaluate usage and compile statistical reports.
4. How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time:
- Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you are actively using the Services.
- Persistent cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them. They are used to remember your preferences, authenticate you on return visits, and facilitate analytics.
5. How to Manage Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (except essential cookies, which are required for the Services to function). You can manage your cookie preferences in the following ways:
- Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close the browser. The method for managing cookies varies by browser; consult your browser's help documentation for instructions.
- Opt-out links: Some third-party services provide their own opt-out mechanisms. For example, you can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, some features of the Services may not function properly, and your user experience may be degraded.
