What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember preferences (e.g., that you closed the cookie banner) or count how many distinct visitors a page receives.
Cookies we use
| Name | Purpose | Type | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| bottleforge_cookie_pref | Records that you accepted or declined the cookie banner so we don't show it on every page load. | First-party, strictly necessary | 12 months |
| bottleforge_compare | Stores which product categories you've added to the compare tool so the selection persists across pages. | First-party, functional | 12 months |
Third-party cookies
This site loads Google Fonts (for typography). Google Fonts sets no tracking cookie when used via the CSS API — it only serves font files. We do not embed Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or any other ad-network tracker by default.
If you click the WhatsApp floating button or any external link, that destination site sets its own cookies under its own privacy policy. We don't control them.
How to control cookies
- The banner: Choose "Decline" to opt out of acceptance tracking. You'll still see the banner once on each new browser/device.
- In your browser: Settings → Privacy → Cookies. You can block all cookies (the site still works), or delete cookies set by this domain to reset preferences.
- Browser extensions: Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, and similar tools work fine with this site.
Do Not Track
This site honours the Sec-GPC: 1 Global Privacy Control header where supported. If your browser sends it, we treat that as a "decline all non-essential" preference.
Changes
If we add or remove cookies, this page will be updated and the change will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top.
