1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small, secure text files placed on your device to collect data about your interaction with our e-commerce platform. They enable our website to remember your session, process transactions safely, and monitor software health.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize cookies into two clear classes:

A. Strictly Necessary (Functional) Cookies

These cookies are essential for core platform operations and security. Because the marketplace cannot function without them, they are active by default and do not require prior consent under EU legal standards.

• Cart and Session Management (checkoutId-[channel]): Preserves your shopping bag as you browse between products.
• Localization Settings (NEXT_LOCALE): Remembers your country, currency, and language selections.
• Consent Preferences (salp-consent): Securely stores your cookie opt-in preferences for 365 days.
• Account Integrity (accessTokenKey, refreshToken): Keeps you securely logged into your partner profile or customer account.
• Fraud Prevention & Payment Integrity (Stripe Inc: __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid): Set by our payment processor, Stripe, to detect fraud, verify identity, and prevent malicious actions during payment execution.

B. Performance & Telemetry Cookies (Require Active Consent)

We use stability-monitoring integrations only when you actively authorize them via our consent banner:

• Sentry Session Replay (@sentry/nextjs): Helps our developers troubleshoot errors by recreating client-side rendering crashes. It only runs in production and will never boot unless you actively select "Accept All".

Note: Salp.shop does not use advertising tracking networks (such as Google Ads or Meta Pixel) to monitor your interests across other websites.

3. Data Retention and Preferences

Your cookie choices are stored securely on your browser for exactly 365 days, after which our platform will prompt you to refresh your preferences.

4. Managing and Revoking Your Consent

You are in complete control of your data. You can modify or withdraw your consent choice instantly at any time by taking any of the following actions:

1. Reset Instantly: Click the "Manage Cookie Settings" link located in the footer of every page on Salp.shop to instantly re-open the settings banner.
2. Browser Gating: Configure your internet browser to refuse cookies entirely. (Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from completing transactions).
