Cookie Policy
How we use cookies. The short version: barely at all.
Last updated: December 2025
Quick Primer on Cookies
Cookies are tiny text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember stuff—like keeping you logged in or tracking basic analytics.
I use the bare minimum needed to make the site work. No invasive tracking, no creepy advertising networks.
What I Actually Use
Essential Cookies (Required)
These make the site work. Without them, you can't log in, add stuff to your cart, or complete purchases. They're not optional.
- • Session management (keeps you logged in)
- • Shopping cart (remembers what you're buying)
- • Security (prevents fraud and attacks)
Analytics Cookies (Optional)
I use privacy-focused analytics to understand how people use the site. Stuff like: which pages get visited, how long people stay, what leads to purchases.
- • Page views and traffic sources
- • What people click on, how far they scroll, that kind of thing
- • Error tracking (so I can fix bugs)
You can disable these without affecting the site. I just won't know which pages are useful.
What I Don't Use
- ✗ Advertising cookies: No retargeting, no creepy ads that follow you around the web
- ✗ Social media tracking: No Facebook pixel, no tracking across sites
- ✗ Third-party ad networks: Zero. None. I don't sell ad space.
Third-Party Services That Use Cookies
Stripe (Payment Processing)
When you buy something, Stripe sets cookies to process the payment securely and prevent fraud. I don't control these—Stripe does.

My email service uses cookies to track delivery—so your download links actually arrive.
How to Control Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Here's where to find it:
- • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
- • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
- • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
If you block all cookies, some features won't work (like logging in or adding stuff to your cart). That's just how websites work.
Two Types of Cookies
Session Cookies
Temporary cookies that disappear when you close your browser. We use these for shopping carts and login sessions.
Persistent Cookies
Stay on your device until they expire (usually within a year) or you delete them. We use these for analytics and preferences.
What Happens If You Block Cookies
If you disable cookies entirely, some stuff won't work:
- • You can't stay logged in
- • Your shopping cart won't remember items
- • Payment processing might fail
- • We won't be able to remember your preferences
You can still browse the site, but you won't be able to buy anything or access your account.
Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" setting. There's no universal standard for how websites should respond to it, so we don't do anything special when it's enabled. Instead, just block cookies through your browser settings—same result, more control.
Changes to This Policy
If I update this policy, I'll change the date at the top. Major changes will be noted in the privacy policy or emailed to customers. But honestly, I'm not planning on adding more cookies—I prefer keeping it simple.
