Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 25, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies SCIGOLD uses on scigoldpower.com, what they do, and how you can manage them. Read it together with our Privacy Policy for the full picture.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. It lets the site remember information about your visit — like your preferred language, items in your cart, or whether you're logged in — so the next visit is smoother. Some cookies last only as long as the browser session ("session cookies"); others persist until they expire or you delete them ("persistent cookies").
We also use similar technologies (local storage, pixels, web beacons) that serve similar purposes. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of them as "cookies."
2. Cookies we use
A. Strictly necessary (always on)
Required for the site to function. Cannot be turned off.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| scigold_cart_id | Stores your cart between visits so items don't disappear when you close the tab | 30 days |
| _shopify_* | Shopify session, checkout, and fraud-detection cookies (set by Shopify on shop.scigoldpower.com) | Session – 1 year |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare bot management — distinguishes humans from bots | 30 minutes |
B. Analytics (opt-in)
Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Only loaded if you consent (or where consent is not required by your local law).
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Aggregate site usage stats (anonymized IP) | 14 months |
| _clck, _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Heatmaps and session recordings (no PII captured; sensitive inputs masked) | 1 year |
C. Marketing (opt-in)
Used to measure ad performance and deliver more relevant content. Only loaded if you opt in. Currently not active — we will update this page when marketing cookies are deployed.
3. Managing cookies
In your browser
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Help pages:
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break the cart and checkout functionality. Blocking analytics and marketing cookies does not affect site functionality.
Opt out of Google Analytics specifically
Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Do Not Track (DNT)
Our site respects DNT signals. If your browser sends a DNT header, we will not load optional analytics or marketing cookies, even if you previously consented.
4. Changes to this policy
We update this Cookie Policy whenever we add or remove tracking technologies. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision.
