Cookies Policy
Welcome to Bleak&Wild’s Cookies Policy — because even websites need snacks to function properly. This page explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences (if you really want to go down that rabbit hole).
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember things about you, like your preferences, your shopping cart, or the fact that you visited our site and chuckled at our dark humor.
Cookies can be:
Essential: Without these, the site won’t work properly. Think of them as the bread and butter of the internet.
Performance Cookies: These help us understand how people use our site (which pages you visit, how long you stay, etc.) so we can improve your experience.
Targeting Cookies: These track your online activity to show you relevant ads. We don’t really use these much because, honestly, we’re more focused on delivering sarcasm than stalking you.
2. How We Use Cookies
At Bleak&Wild, we use cookies to:
Remember What’s in Your Cart: Because we know you’ve got better things to do than re-add items.
Understand How You Use Our Site: We use Google Analytics to see which pages are popular (or completely ignored).
Improve Our Site: Cookies help us figure out what’s working and what’s not, so we can tweak things accordingly.
We’re not here to track your every move or serve you creepy ads. Our cookies are mostly used to make your experience on our site better.
3. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage your cookies through your browser settings. Here’s how to do it:
Google Chrome: Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Other Site Data.
Safari: Go to Preferences > Privacy.
Firefox: Go to Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
Microsoft Edge: Go to Settings > Site Permissions > Cookies and Site Data.
Keep in mind that if you block all cookies, some parts of our site might not work as intended. For example, your shopping cart might mysteriously empty itself (which is not part of our dark humor).
4. Third-Party Cookies
We use a few trusted third-party services that may set cookies on your device:
Google Analytics: To help us understand how visitors use our site.
Payment Providers (Stripe, PayPal): To process payments securely.
These services have their own cookie policies, which you can read on their respective sites.
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update our Cookies Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll post the updated version here. We’re not going to spam your inbox about it — that’s just annoying.
6. Contact Us
Got questions about our Cookies Policy? Drop us an email at bleakandwild@gmail.com. We promise to reply before Derek (our robot vacuum) eats the last cookie.
Thanks for taking the time to read our Cookies Policy. Now go reward yourself with a real cookie — you’ve earned it.
