1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device that help websites remember information about your visits. They serve multiple purposes including personalizing your experience, analyzing how you use our site, remembering your preferences, maintaining your session, and delivering targeted content. Most websites use cookies to enhance user experience and gather analytics data. Cookies are widely used and accepted across the internet as a standard technology.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential/Necessary Cookies: These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. They handle security, session management, and basic functionality like remembering your login status. These cookies cannot be disabled without affecting website operation.
Performance/Analytics Cookies: We use these cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect anonymous data about page views, click paths, error pages, and time spent on pages. This information helps us identify popular content, fix problems, and optimize performance. Data is aggregated and anonymized.
Preference/Functionality Cookies: These cookies remember your choices and settings so you don't have to reset them on every visit. This includes language preferences, font size adjustments, login information, and other customizations that enhance your experience.
Marketing/Advertising Cookies: With your consent, we use cookies to deliver relevant advertising and content. These cookies track your interests across websites to provide personalized recommendations and targeted campaigns.
3. Cookie Duration and Classification
Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that exist only during your current browsing session. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. We use session cookies to maintain your login status and shopping cart contents.
Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a specified period (from days to years) or until you manually delete them. These allow us to remember your preferences across multiple visits. Persistent cookies have an expiration date and are automatically deleted when that date is reached.
First-Party Cookies: Set directly by CarbonWrapUSA and can only be read by our domain. These are typically essential, performance, and preference cookies.

These services include: (a) Analytics providers like Google Analytics for traffic analysis; (b) Payment processors for secure transaction handling; (c) Email service providers for communications; (d) Social media platforms for integration and sharing; (e) Advertising networks for targeted campaigns. These third-party providers have their own cookie policies and practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies to understand their cookie usage.

When you visit our website, we provide a cookie banner asking for your consent before placing non-essential cookies. You may choose to: (a) Accept all cookies; (b) Decline non-essential cookies; (c) Customize your preferences for specific cookie categories.

7. Pixel Tags and Web Beacons
In addition to cookies, we use pixel tags (also called web beacons or clear GIFs) to track user interactions. These are small, transparent images embedded in web pages and emails that collect data about when content is viewed and how it's accessed. Pixel tags work similarly to cookies and serve similar purposes including analytics, conversion tracking, and audience measurement. They cannot be disabled in the same way as cookies but respect privacy preferences.
8. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting they not track your activity. Currently, no industry-wide standard for interpreting DNT signals exists. While CarbonWrapUSA respects user privacy, our website may not respond to DNT signals as technology standards continue to evolve. However, you can still control cookies and tracking through our consent preferences and browser settings.
9. Privacy and Data Protection
Cookies we set do not personally identify you. However, they may be linked to information in your account if you're logged in. Any personal information collected through cookies is treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We implement appropriate security measures to protect cookie data from unauthorized access. For international users, cookie practices comply with applicable regulations including GDPR and CCPA. Information collected through cookies is retained only as long as necessary for its intended purpose.
10. Cross-Domain Tracking
Third-party cookies and pixels may track your activity across multiple websites. This enables personalized advertising and analytics. You can limit cross-site tracking through: (a) Browser privacy settings; (b) Network advertising initiative opt-out tools; (c) Disabling third-party cookies in your browser; (d) Using privacy-focused browsers or extensions. We respect user choices regarding cross-domain tracking and will honor opt-out preferences.
