Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how cookieicinglab.com uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies.

What These Technologies Are

Cookies are small files stored by the browser. Local storage is a browser feature that allows information to be saved on a device. These technologies may be used to operate website features, remember choices, and, with the user's consent, measure how the website is used.

Necessary Technologies

Necessary technologies are used only to provide website functions requested by the user and do not require separate consent where applicable law permits this.

  • cookieicinglab_cookie_consent_v1 — local storage used to remember the user's cookie-consent choices.
  • cookieicinglab_cutter_cart_v1 — local storage used to preserve the STL/PDF shopping cart.
  • cookieicinglab_cutter_checkout_v1 — local storage used to preserve checkout-related state for digital cutter purchases.

These items are stored on the user's device until they are replaced, cleared by the website, or deleted through the browser.

Analytics Technologies

Analytics technologies are activated only after the user has consented to analytics cookies.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is used to understand website usage, including visitor counts, sessions, approximate location, and browser or device information.

  • _ga — distinguishes users; default duration up to 2 years.
  • _ga_<container-id> — maintains session state; default duration up to 2 years.

Google may process analytics data on its own systems in accordance with its applicable privacy and data-transfer arrangements.

Microsoft Clarity

Microsoft Clarity is used to understand interaction with the website through aggregated analytics, heatmaps, and session recordings.

Clarity may use cookies including _clck, _clsk, CLID, ANONCHK, MR, MUID, and SM. Some are first-party cookies and some are third-party cookies controlled by Microsoft.

Microsoft states that standard Clarity recordings are retained for 30 days, while a limited selection of recordings may be retained for up to 9 months. Cookie lifetimes may vary depending on the individual Microsoft cookie and provider settings.

Online Chat

Crisp is used to provide online chat and visitor communication. Crisp is loaded only after the user has consented to the online-chat category.

Crisp uses cookies and similar browser storage with the crisp-client/* prefix to restore visitor message history and avoid creating a new conversation on every page view. Crisp states that these cookies expire after 6 months by default, with the expiration renewed when a visitor with an existing cookie returns to a page where the chatbox is loaded.

Third-Party Providers

The optional technologies described above may involve the following third-party providers:

  • Google LLC — Google Analytics;
  • Microsoft Corporation — Microsoft Clarity;
  • Crisp IM SAS — online chat.

Some providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where this occurs, transfers are handled using mechanisms available under applicable data-protection law.

Managing and Withdrawing Consent

On the first visit, the user can accept all optional technologies, reject them, or configure analytics and online chat separately.

The user may change or withdraw consent at any time through the Cookie Settings control available in the website footer. Withdrawing consent prevents the website from loading the relevant optional service on subsequent use, subject to technical limitations of third-party services already loaded during the current browser session.

Users may also delete cookies and local-storage data through their browser settings. Doing so may reset the shopping cart, cookie preferences, or other saved website state.

Updates

This Cookie Policy may be updated when the website changes the technologies or providers it uses, or when applicable legal requirements change.
