Cookie Policy

What this policy covers

This Cookie Policy explains how eComrads uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (ecomrads.com) and platform. It's meant to be plain and practical - so you understand what's happening and how to manage your preferences.

This policy works alongside our Privacy Policy. For anything not covered here, the Privacy Policy applies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files saved to your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember things about your visit - like whether you're logged in, what's in your cart, or your language preference.

Beyond traditional cookies, we may also use similar technologies: pixel tags (tiny images that detect page visits), local/session storage, and device fingerprinting for security purposes. This policy covers all of them.

The cookies we use

We use four categories of cookies. Here's what each one does:

Third-party cookies

Some cookies on eComrads come from outside companies we work with. The main ones:

• Google Analytics - website traffic and behavior analytics. Privacy policy →
• Meta Pixel - ad campaign measurement and retargeting if you use our Meta integration. Privacy policy →
• Google Ads - conversion tracking and retargeting. Privacy policy →
• Stripe - payment security and fraud prevention. Privacy policy →

We don't control how these third parties use the data they collect through their cookies. We recommend reviewing their policies if you have concerns.

Managing your cookie preferences

You have choices. Here's how to use them:

Cookie banner

When you first visit eComrads, you'll see a cookie consent notice. You can accept all, decline non-essential cookies, or pick by category. You can update your choices anytime via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.

Browser settings

Every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings. Keep in mind: blocking essential cookies will break parts of the platform.

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Safari
• Edge

Ad opt-outs

To opt out of interest-based advertising more broadly:

• Network Advertising Initiative
• Digital Advertising Alliance
• Google Ad Settings
• Meta Ad Preferences

Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal to websites. There's currently no universal standard for how sites should respond to this signal, so eComrads doesn't change its behavior based on it. We'll revisit this as standards evolve.

Updates to this policy

If we change how we use cookies, we'll update this policy and the date at the top. Material changes will be communicated through the platform or by email.
