We see you. Quietly clicking, lurking in the shadows like an emotionally exhausted squirrel with commitment issues. Don’t worry—we respect your chaos. But we do use cookies (the digital kind, not the warm gooey betrayal of chocolate chip dreams). Here’s how we keep it both legal and unhinged:

🍪 Cookies? Yeah, We Use ‘Em

Cookies help us:

• Track what pages you drooled over

• Keep the site functioning like a well-caffeinated Virgo

• Improve your experience without throwing glitter at it

You can disable them in your browser if you want—but fair warning, the site might throw a tantrum. Some features may get weird or stop working altogether, kind of like us during Mercury in the microwave..

🕵️ What We Collect (and Why We Don’t Suck About It)

When you hang out with us, we may collect:

• Your name (so we know you’re not a haunted Roomba)

• Your email (so we can scream into your inbox with purpose)

• Browsing behaviors (so we know if you're actually vibing or just trauma-scrolling)

But listen—
We don’t sell your data.
We don’t trade it for a cursed crystal ball.
We don’t add you to 47 newsletters unless you asked us to.

Third-party tools like analytics, ads, or affiliate magic may collect stuff too, but we don’t let them go full feral.

📛 Third-Party Cookies & Analytics Shenanigans

We use services like Google Analytics to understand what the heck people are doing here. These tools use cookies too (those sneaky bastards). They may track:

• Your device type

• Time spent on pages

• What links you click

We use this data to improve your experience, not to summon a dark overlord. You can opt out of Google Analytics with a browser add-on if you like.

⛔️ You Can Say No (Consent Is Still Sexy)

Don’t want to be tracked? Totally valid. You can:

• Say “no thanks” on our cookie banner

• Adjust your browser settings like a grown-ass adult

• Light some sage and whisper “no” to the algorithm (may not work, but who are we to crush your rituals?)

📥 How Long We Keep Your Stuff

Not forever, promise. We keep your data as long as needed to:

• Provide services

• Analyze how our squirrel circus is running

• Fulfill any legal obligations (because the IRS has no chill)

Then it gets yeeted into the digital void.

📢 Updates to This Policy

We might change this policy if laws change, tech evolves, or we just get sassier. Check back sometimes—we’ll update the date at the top if anything major shifts.
