Cookie Policy

1What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.

2What We Store on Your Device

Everything below is the actual list. Nothing else is set by us.

2.1Strictly necessary — always active

These make the site work and cannot be turned off. All are stored in your browser's local storage, not as cookies, and none are sent to anyone else.

• cp_consent — the cookie choices you made on this banner, so we don't ask again and so we know what we're allowed to load. Kept until you clear it.
• cabinpulse-cart — what you've put in your cart. Kept until you check out or clear it.
• cp_currency — whether you chose to see prices in Canadian or US dollars. Kept until you clear it.
• cp_notice_seen — that you've already seen the current shipping notice, so it isn't shown again. Kept until you clear it.
• cp_reminder_* — small counters (some kept only for the browser session) that decide when to offer the seasonal reminder, so it doesn't appear too early or too often.
• cp_variants — which version of a page you were shown when we're testing two, so you keep seeing the same one. Kept until you clear it.

Legal basis: necessary to provide a service you asked for.

2.2Analytics — only with your consent

• Microsoft Clarity — records how pages are used, including mouse movement, scrolling and clicks, to show us where the site is confusing. Clarity may set its own cookies on your device. See Microsoft's privacy statement.

Legal basis: your consent.

2.3Advertising — only with your consent

If you accept marketing cookies we load the following, and each may set its own cookies:

• Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Pixel — sets _fbp in your browser, and we read _fbc from the fbclid parameter if you arrived from a Meta ad. Used to measure which ads lead to orders and to build advertising audiences.
• Google Ads — measures which ads lead to orders.
• Microsoft Advertising (Bing UET) — the same, for Bing ads.
• cp_visitor_id — a random identifier we generate in your browser. It contains no personal information and is not linked to you until and unless you place an order. It lets us connect an ad click to an order without relying on third-party cookies.

Legal basis: your consent. Decline and none of these are loaded — the scripts are never fetched, not merely disabled.

3Analytics That Runs Without Consent

We run a self-hosted analytics tool (Umami) that records page views without setting any cookie and without storing anything on your device. It does process your IP address in transit to work out an approximate country, and does not retain it. We consider this necessary to operate the site rather than tracking, so it is not behind the consent banner. If you would rather it did not run at all, a browser that blocks scripts or a Do Not Track extension will stop it.

4Cookies Set by Services We Use

Some parts of the site are provided by others, and they set their own cookies under their own policies. We do not control these:

• Stripe — payments and fraud prevention, on the checkout and payment pages.
• Trustpilot — the reviews widget, where it appears.
• Google Fonts and Cloudflare — delivering fonts and icons.
• Our support chat — remembering an open conversation.

4aWhat Happens After You Order

When an order completes, our server sends the purchase to Meta's Conversions API. That is described in section 5 of the Privacy Policy, including exactly which fields are sent and how they are protected. It happens on our server rather than in your browser, so a cookie blocker will not prevent it — declining marketing cookies does not stop it either, because it is how we account for advertising spend on completed orders. If you object to it, contact us and we will exclude your order.

5Managing Cookies

5.1Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings:

• Block all cookies
• Block third-party cookies only
• Delete cookies after each session
• Accept all cookies (default)

5.2Opt-Out Options

You can opt out of specific tracking:

• Google Ads: adssettings.google.com
• Facebook Ads: facebook.com/settings?tab=ads
• General Opt-Out: optout.aboutads.info

5.3Impact of Blocking Cookies

If you block or delete cookies:

• Some website features may not function properly
• You may need to re-enter information more frequently
• Personalization features may not work
• Essential cookies cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality

6Other Tracking Technologies

The items in section 2 are the only things our site stores on your device. We do not use device fingerprinting on our site. The third-party services named in sections 2.2, 2.3 and 4 may use similar technologies, such as pixels or device information for fraud prevention, under their own policies, and the analytics and advertising ones load only with your consent.

7Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date and, where required, seeking your consent.
