Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember information between visits — such as whether you accepted the cookie banner — and help us understand how the site is being used in aggregate.
We keep cookies to a minimum and operate on a consent-first basis. Specifically, we use:
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
pag-consent | PAG (localStorage) | Remembers your Accept / Decline choice so the banner doesn’t reappear. | Until you clear site data | Necessary |
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors. Only set if you accept. | 2 years | Analytics — opt-in |
_ga_<ID> | Google Analytics | Persists session state for GA4. Only set if you accept. | 2 years | Analytics — opt-in |
Stripe session cookies (e.g., __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid) | Stripe, Inc. | Fraud prevention and session continuity for payments. Set when you initiate a Stripe Checkout / Payment Link. | ~30 minutes (sid) / 1 year (mid) | Strictly necessary for payments |
| Algolia abuse-prevention identifiers | Algolia, Inc. | Rate-limit search abuse. Set when you use the on-site search box. | Session | Strictly necessary for search |
The Site loads resources from these third parties. Each has its own privacy practices.
When you click out to WhatsApp, an external partner site, or any other third-party destination, that destination’s cookies and terms apply.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal or sets a Do Not Track header, we treat that as a declined consent state regardless of banner interaction. We honor GPC for all California, Colorado, Connecticut, and Virginia users in compliance with their respective state privacy laws.
If we add a new analytics or advertising tool, we will update this page and re-prompt you for consent. Material changes carry a new “Effective date” at the top.
