4. Cookies

• What Are Cookies? A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns.
• How We Use Them: DAYCrafterGear uses cookies to help identify and track visitors (in aggregate, anonymous form via Analytics, if applicable), their usage of the Site, and their access preferences. We also use necessary cookies for basic site functionality.
• Types of Cookies We May Use:
  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the operation of the Site (e.g., security, basic functionality). You cannot use the site properly without them. They do not store personally identifiable information.
  • Performance/Analytics Cookies: If we use Google Analytics, these cookies help us count visits and traffic sources to measure and improve Site performance, collecting data anonymously. Google Analytics has its own privacy policies (Google Privacy & Terms). You can opt-out of Google Analytics by installing the opt-out browser add-on (Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on).
  • Functional Cookies: May be used by third-party services embedded on our site, such as YouTube, to remember video player preferences or provide enhanced functionality. These cookies are governed by the third party’s policies (e.g., YouTube/Google).
• Don’t Want Cookies?
  • Browser Control: Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using the Site https://daycraftergear.com. Please note this has the drawback that certain website features (like embedded videos) may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
  • Most web browsers allow you to choose whether to accept cookies and allow you to delete cookies already set. These settings are typically found in the “options,” “tools,” or “preferences” menu. You may consult your browser’s “help” menu or the following links for common browsers:
    • Chrome
    • Firefox
    • Internet Explorer
    • Edge

5. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell or rent your Personally Identifiable Information (PII). We share information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: With trusted third parties who help us operate (Mailchimp for newsletter, hosting provider, Google Analytics if applicable, anti-spam services). They only have access to what is necessary and are obligated to protect it.
• Legal Compliance: If required by law, court order, or valid governmental request.

Our website is hosted on servers that may be located outside your country of residence (e.g., in the U.S.). By using our Site and providing us with information, you consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of your information on these servers. Services like Mailchimp and Google may also process data outside your country. We use providers we believe offer adequate safeguards for data protection.

9. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your PII. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
