Cookie Policy
Last Updated: April 10, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies banstolabrothers.com.npuses, and how you can manage them. We keep our cookie use minimal — only what's genuinely needed for the site to work well and help us understand how it's being used.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — such as items in your cart or your browsing session — so your experience is smoother.
Cookies do not contain personal data like your name or payment information on their own. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work properly and to provide information to site owners.
2. Cookies We Use
We use a small number of cookies, grouped into the categories below. We do not use advertising cookies or behavioural tracking cookies for marketing purposes.
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
session_cart | Essential | Saves items in your shopping cart during your session | Session (cleared on browser close) |
checkout_session | Essential | Keeps your checkout progress and form entries intact | Session |
_ga, _gid | Analytics | Google Analytics — helps us understand how visitors use our site. No personally identifiable data is shared. | Up to 2 years |
| Instagram / Meta Pixel | Set when you interact with our Instagram-linked content. May track visits for ad performance measurement by Meta. | Up to 90 days |
3. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function correctly. They cannot be disabled — without them, core features such as your shopping cart and the checkout process would not work.
These cookies do not collect any personal information and are never used for marketing or tracking. They are only set in response to actions you take, such as adding an item to your cart.
4. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are most popular, how long visitors stay, and how they navigate through the site. This helps us improve your experience and make better decisions about our content and products.
The data collected through Google Analytics is anonymous and aggregated — it does not identify you personally. You can opt out at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. How to Manage or Disable Cookies
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies, and to receive notifications when a cookie is set.
Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality. Disabling essential cookies may prevent you from completing a checkout.
