Cookie Policy
Last updated 2026-07-12
This Cookie Policy explains how Binged Shop uses cookies and similar technologies on binged.shop. It works alongside our Privacy Policy and the consent banner you see on your first visit. Essential cookies keep the store working; everything else runs only after you agree.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels. They let a site remember actions and preferences (such as the contents of your cart) and help us understand how the store is used. Some cookies are strictly necessary; others are optional and require your consent.
2. Your consent controls optional cookies
When you first visit, our consent banner lets you accept or reject optional cookies. Analytics and marketing technologies do not load until you give consent, and we honor that choice using Google Consent Mode v2, which keeps non-essential tags in a denied state until you opt in.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by reopening the cookie settings from the banner or footer, or by clearing cookies in your browser. Rejecting optional cookies does not affect your ability to browse or place an order.
3. Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the store to function and are exempt from consent. They do not track you across other sites:
- Cart cookie — a signed cookie that remembers the items in your cart so your basket survives page loads and checkout. It is integrity-signed so its contents cannot be tampered with.
- Session and security cookies — maintain a secure session, enable checkout, and help protect against fraud and cross-site request forgery.
- Consent cookie — records your cookie preferences so we can honor them and not ask again on every page.
4. Analytics cookies (optional — consent required)
These help us understand aggregate traffic and improve the store. They load only after you consent:
- Plausible — privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics that measures visits and page views in aggregate without profiling you or tracking you across sites.
- Google Analytics 4 — measures site usage and performance in more detail; loads only if you accept analytics cookies and stays disabled otherwise under Consent Mode v2.
5. Marketing cookies (optional — consent required)
These support advertising measurement and are off by default until you opt in:
- Meta Pixel — helps us measure the effectiveness of marketing and reach relevant audiences; it fires only after you accept marketing cookies.
- Other advertising tags — any future marketing pixels will likewise remain blocked until you consent, and will be listed here.
6. Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the store, such as the cart and checkout. Guidance for managing cookies is available in your browser's help pages.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our tools change. The current version is always available here, with the “last updated” date shown above. Questions can be sent to info@binged.shop.
