1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They let a site recognize your browser across sessions, remember preferences, and measure usage.
2. How GearShare uses cookies
Strictly necessary
Required for the service to function — authentication, load balancing, CSRF protection, saving your shopping-cart/browse state. These cookies cannot be disabled in our systems.
Preferences
Remember your settings, such as theme (light/dark), language, and preferred location. Stored for up to 12 months.
Analytics
Help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. These are anonymous or aggregated and are only set with your consent where required by law.
Marketing
If you give consent, we may set cookies to measure ad effectiveness on campaigns we run (e.g., Google Ads). You can withdraw this consent at any time.
3. Third-party cookies
Some features rely on third parties (analytics, payment processing, customer support). These parties may set their own cookies; we vet them to ensure they meet our privacy standards.
4. Managing cookies
You can manage or delete cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete them when you close the browser. Disabling strictly-necessary cookies may break parts of the site.
5. Do Not Track
We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where technically feasible and do not sell personal data.
