Welcome to Shirtcount. We believe in being completely clear and transparent about how we collect and process data related to your visits. This Cookie Policy provides exhaustive details about how, when, and why we utilize cookies and other similar tracking technologies on our e-commerce platform. By continuing to use our website, you agree to the deployment of these cookies as outlined below.

1. What Are Cookies

A cookie is a minor, encrypted text file containing a small string of alphanumeric characters that is sent by a web server and stored locally on your computer, laptop, mobile phone, or tablet device. When you navigate different pages or revisit our store, these cookies send information back to our server to help recognize your specific device and customize your experience.

2. Session vs. Persistent Cookies

We implement two main configurations of cookies depending on how long they remain active on your machine:

• Session Cookies: These are highly temporary files that exist only for the duration of your active browsing window. When you close your internet browser, session cookies are deleted instantly.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain inside your device's browser memory after you close the window. They are reactivated each time you visit our site and expire after a set time frame or when you manually purge them.

3. First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies can be set by different digital entities on our domain:

• First-Party Cookies: These are placed directly by Shirtcount. They are critical for managing basic store activities, like keeping track of your selected items.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are set by authorized external partners, such as payment networks (PayPal, Venmo) or system analytics services (Google Analytics), to provide secure services we do not host directly.

4. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are vital for the operational survival of our online store. Without these files, you would not be able to navigate our website, sign in safely, or buy apparel. These are executed automatically upon your arrival and cannot be toggled off.

5. E-commerce & Shopping Cart Preservation

We deploy dedicated necessary session cookies to maintain your shopping journey. These files register the exact shirts, sizes, colors, and quantities you have clicked "Add to Cart" so that your items are not wiped out when you browse other sections or refresh the page.

6. Secure Payment & Checkout Integrity

During checkout, security cookies are utilized to protect your financial transactions. By working with PCI-DSS compliant providers like PayPal and Venmo, these cookies help verify the authenticity of your payment request and protect your system from digital fraud and session hijacking.

7. Performance & Site Speed Tracking

Performance cookies analyze how our servers and page scripts render on your hardware. They collect technical, non-identifiable statistics, such as server response times and file load errors, ensuring that our online catalog remains lightning-fast and functional at all times.

8. Analytics & Consumer Insights

We use analytics cookies, primarily via Google Analytics, to study how our community interacts with Shirtcount. This anonymous telemetry informs us which styles or product collections are trending, how much time is spent on specific pages, and which navigation routes are most intuitive.

9. Sizing & Location Preference Personalization

Preference cookies remember your customized selections to prevent you from having to adjust them on every visit. This includes remembering your language preferences, default sizing charts, and currency parameters (all transactions are securely conducted in USD).

10. Digital Security & Threat Prevention

Security cookies help us protect user accounts and prevent unauthorized parties from accessing your profile details. They identify malicious browsing habits, block brute-force login attempts, and ensure that your personal information is kept safe from cyber threats.

11. Third-Party Integrations & Gateways

Some of our partners utilize tracking cookies on our platform to optimize the services they provide. For example, our integrated payment gateways place localized fraud-prevention cookies, and external map or font assets may trigger minor diagnostic cookies to render pages correctly.

12. Browser-Level Cookie Management

You can choose to block, delete, or manage cookies directly inside your browser settings. Adjusting these settings will vary depending on your software of choice. Please consult the standard resource links below to configure your preferences:

• Google Chrome Cookie Control
• Apple Safari Cookie Control
• Mozilla Firefox Cookie Control
• Microsoft Edge Cookie Control

13. System Limitations of Disabling Cookies

Please be advised that if you configure your device to block all cookies (including strictly necessary ones), certain crucial features of the Shirtcount store will fail to execute. You may experience issues saving items in your cart, signing into your account, or completing payment processing.

14. Updates & Revisions of this Policy

We reserve the right to modify or adjust this Cookie Policy at any time to align with shifts in our site features, business technologies, or regional legal guidelines. Any updates will be posted immediately on this page, and the "Last Updated" date at the top will be modified accordingly.
