Cookie Policy

01 — What this covers

This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies (including browser local storage) that buildstackstudio.com uses, and how to control them. Non-essential technologies — right now, that's just Google Analytics 4 — never run until you actively accept them.

02 — Strictly necessary (always on)

These run the site itself and can't be switched off; they don't require consent under EU law because the site can't function without them.

Name	Purpose	Type	Duration
bss.cart.v1	Remembers what's in your cart between visits	Local storage	Until you clear it or complete/abandon checkout
bss.consent.v1	Remembers your cookie choice	Local storage	Until you change it via Cookie settings
Checkout session data	Keeps your progress through the checkout steps	Session storage	Cleared when you close the tab or complete an order

03 — Analytics (optional — off until you accept)

Name	Purpose	Type	Duration
_ga	Google Analytics 4 — distinguishes visitors	Cookie	Up to 2 years
_ga_<container-id>	Google Analytics 4 — persists session state	Cookie	Up to 2 years

These are set by Google Ireland Limited only after you click Accept in the cookie banner or turn Analytics on in Cookie settings. If you choose Necessary only, none of these are set, and the site works exactly the same either way.

04 — Managing your choice

Choose Accept or Necessary only in the banner shown on your first visit, or open Cookie settings in the footer at any time to change your choice, including turning Analytics off after previously accepting it. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser's own settings, though this may clear your cart.

05 — Changes

We may update this policy if the cookies or technologies we use change. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent revision.
