Site-specific safeguards
- Checkout, payment, shipping, tax, fraud-prevention, and order-confirmation cookies are necessary for ecommerce and may remain active.
- Do not load advertising, remarketing, social-media, or non-essential analytics tags on cart, checkout, account, payment, or order-confirmation pages until consent and after confirming they do not receive payment information, full addresses, order notes, or other sensitive checkout details.
- Search terms and cart/product activity should not be transmitted to advertising or social-media tools before consent. Avoid sending free-text order notes or customer support details to non-essential trackers.
Visitor choices
Visitors can accept all optional cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage categories. A visitor may change choices at any time using the Cookie Settings or Your Privacy Choices link. Rejection of optional cookies should not block access to the site, although some embedded media, chat, personalization, or measurement functions may not operate the same way.
Where required by applicable privacy law, we honor opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control as a request to opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or other covered uses of personal information. We do not intentionally use cookies to collect sensitive personal information through public site search, product inquiries, or contact forms.
