Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work correctly, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the owners of websites about how visitors use them.

When you visit nathanbut.net, your web browser automatically receives these small files from our web server and stores them on your device. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to the server so the website can recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visit — such as the contents of your shopping cart, your login status, or your language preferences.

Cookies by themselves cannot be used to identify you personally — they simply store a unique identifier that links your browser to information held on a web server. They cannot access other files on your device and do not contain executable code, meaning they cannot transmit viruses or malware.

In addition to traditional cookies, our website and its service providers may use the following related technologies to store information on your device. This Cookie Policy covers all of these storage mechanisms collectively referred to as "cookies."

• Session Cookies Temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browser session and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. These are used to keep your shopping cart intact while you browse.
• Persistent Cookies Cookies that remain on your device for a set period of time after you close your browser — ranging from a few days to several years — or until you delete them manually. These are used to remember your preferences across visits.
• Local Storage A web storage technology similar to cookies that stores data in your browser's local storage area. Local storage can hold more data than cookies and does not expire automatically.
• Session Storage Similar to local storage, but data is cleared when your browser tab or window is closed. Used for maintaining state within a single browsing session.
• Pixel Tags and Web Beacons Tiny, often invisible images or scripts embedded in web pages or emails that communicate with a server when loaded. Used primarily to measure whether an email has been opened or a page has been viewed.

Nathan But Net LLC uses cookies exclusively to operate our website, improve your shopping experience, and understand how our website is being used so we can make it better. We do not use cookies to track your activity across third-party websites, to build advertising profiles about you, or to sell your data to any third party.

Specifically, we use cookies to accomplish the following purposes on nathanbut.net:

• Keep Your Shopping Cart Intact When you add items to your cart and then navigate to other pages on our website, cookies ensure your cart contents are preserved so you do not lose your selections.
• Maintain Your Login Session If you have created an account and logged in, cookies keep you authenticated as you browse different pages so you do not have to log in repeatedly during the same session.
• Process Transactions Securely Cookies are used during the checkout process to maintain the security and integrity of your session, prevent fraud, and ensure your payment information is processed correctly.
• Remember Your Preferences Functional cookies remember settings and preferences you have chosen on previous visits, such as your preferred currency display or whether you have previously accepted our cookie policy.
• Measure Website Performance Analytics cookies help us understand which pages are most popular, how visitors navigate through our site, where visitors come from, and where they encounter problems, so we can continuously improve our website.
• Prevent Fraud and Ensure Security Certain cookies help our platform and payment processors detect and prevent fraudulent transactions, unauthorized account access, and other suspicious activity.

We use four categories of cookies on nathanbut.net. Each category serves a specific purpose, and we explain each one clearly below. Only "Strictly Necessary" cookies are placed without your ability to opt out, because they are essential for the website to function. All other categories can be managed through your browser settings.

The table below provides a detailed reference of the specific cookies used on nathanbut.net. This includes the cookie name, its purpose, which party sets it, its category, and how long it persists on your device. Cookie names and durations may change as our platform is updated — this table is reviewed and updated regularly.

In addition to cookies set directly by Nathan But Net LLC, certain third-party services that we use to operate our store may also set cookies on your device. These third parties set and control their own cookies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We have no direct control over these third-party cookies, but we only partner with providers whose privacy practices we have reviewed and consider appropriate.

We believe it is just as important to tell you what we do not do as what we do. The following categories of cookies and tracking technologies are explicitly not used on nathanbut.net. We list these to give you complete confidence in how we respect your privacy.

• Advertising and Retargeting Cookies We do not use cookies to display targeted advertisements to you on other websites after you have visited nathanbut.net. We do not participate in any retargeting or remarketing programs.
• Social Media Tracking Pixels We do not embed Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Pinterest Tag, Snap Pixel, Twitter/X Pixel, or any other social media tracking pixel on our website. These technologies are commonly used to track your behavior across the web for advertising purposes.
• Cross-Site Behavioral Tracking We do not track your browsing activity across websites other than nathanbut.net. We do not share your browsing data with advertising networks or data brokers.
• Fingerprinting Technologies We do not use browser fingerprinting, canvas fingerprinting, or any other device fingerprinting technique to identify or track you without the use of cookies.
• Supercookies or Evercookies We do not use supercookies, evercookies, or any technique designed to recreate cookies after they have been deleted or to circumvent cookie opt-outs.
• Third-Party Analytics with PII Sharing Our analytics data is collected in anonymized and aggregated form. We do not share individually identifiable analytics data with any third-party analytics provider.

You have several options to manage, limit, or disable cookies used by nathanbut.net and its service providers. We describe each method below so you can choose the approach that works best for you. Please note that disabling certain cookies — particularly strictly necessary cookies — may affect the functionality of our website.

Each major web browser handles cookies differently. The instructions below will help you manage cookie settings in the browser you use. Clicking the "Cookie Settings" link for your browser will take you to your browser maker's official instructions for managing cookies.

The Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a browser-level privacy signal that allows you to automatically communicate your opt-out preference to every website you visit, without needing to submit a separate request to each one. When enabled, your browser sends a Sec-GPC: 1 HTTP header to websites with every request.

Nathan But Net LLC recognizes and honors the GPC signal as a valid opt-out of the sale and sharing of personal information as required under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) and other applicable U.S. state privacy laws. When we detect a GPC signal from your browser, we will:

• Treat It as an Opt-Out of Sale and Sharing We will honor your GPC signal as a formal opt-out of any sale or sharing of your personal information under the CPRA, with the same legal effect as a manually submitted opt-out request.
• Not Override Your Signal We will not attempt to override, circumvent, or ignore your GPC signal. We will not prompt you to withdraw your GPC opt-out preference.
• Apply It to Your Current and Future Visits Your GPC preference will be recognized on every visit to nathanbut.net as long as your browser continues to send the signal.

The "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal is a browser setting that, when enabled, sends a request to websites asking them not to track your browsing activity across multiple websites. DNT is different from the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal described in Section 09.

Unlike GPC, the DNT signal does not currently have a legally defined standard or an agreed-upon technical specification that establishes what "tracking" means or how websites must respond to the signal. As a result, there is no consensus among websites, browsers, or regulators on what honoring a DNT signal requires in practice.

Because of this lack of a universally accepted standard, Nathan But Net LLC does not currently respond to or alter our data practices based on Do Not Track browser signals. However, we encourage you to use the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal instead, which we do recognize and honor as a legally valid opt-out mechanism under applicable U.S. state privacy law.

Cookies remain on your device for varying lengths of time depending on their purpose. The retention period for each cookie is chosen to match what is necessary for its intended function — we do not retain cookies for longer than is needed. Below is a summary of cookie retention periods used on nathanbut.net by category.

• Session Cookies — Deleted When You Close Your Browser Session cookies exist only for the duration of your active browser session. They are automatically deleted by your browser when you close the browser window or tab. These include your checkout session token and certain Shopify session identifiers.
• Short-Term Persistent Cookies — 30 Minutes to 24 Hours Some cookies are set to expire after a short fixed period, typically between 30 minutes and 24 hours. These are used for time-sensitive functions such as Shopify's short-term analytics session tracking (_shopify_s, _shopify_sa_t, _shopify_sa_p).
• Medium-Term Persistent Cookies — 14 Days to 6 Months Cart and checkout cookies are typically set to persist for up to 14 days so your shopping cart is preserved if you leave and return to our website within that window without completing your purchase.
• Long-Term Persistent Cookies — 6 Months to 2 Years Analytics cookies such as Shopify's visitor identification cookie (_shopify_y) and our cookie consent record (cookieConsent) are set to last up to 1–2 years. These are the minimum period needed to reliably measure returning visitor statistics and remember your consent decision across visits.
• Authentication Cookies — Up to 20 Years The secure_customer_sig cookie used to maintain your logged-in account status is set by Shopify with a very long expiration. In practice, this cookie is refreshed on each login and is invalidated when you log out of your account. You can delete it at any time through your browser settings.

You are free to disable any or all cookies through your browser settings. However, it is important to understand how disabling certain categories of cookies will affect your ability to use nathanbut.net. The table below describes the specific impact of disabling each category.
