SUNLIGHT AND SAGEBRUSH – COOKIE POLICY
Last Updated: June 16th, 2026
1. INTRODUCTION
This Cookie Policy explains how Sunlight and Sagebrush (“we,” “us,” or “our”) employs cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website https://www.sunlightandsagebrush.com (the “Site”). It describes what cookies are, what categories we use, the specific purposes they serve, and how you can manage your preferences.
2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer or mobile device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide anonymous analytics to site owners. Cookies can be “session” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” (remain until they expire or you delete them). We also use similar technologies like local storage objects and web beacons (small transparent images) for technical functionality.
3. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of the Site and enable core functions like secure checkout, shopping cart memory, and user authentication. Without these, services you have requested (like completing a purchase) cannot be provided. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
Squarespace functional cookies: Manage session state, remember items in your cart, and maintain security.
Stripe cookies: Used for fraud prevention and to ensure secure payment transactions (Stripe’s cookies are set during checkout).
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
We use Squarespace’s built-in analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated information about how visitors navigate the Site — pages visited, time on site, referring URLs, and browser/device type. These cookies help us improve the content and layout. We do not currently use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any third-party advertising trackers.
Squarespace analytics cookies: Track site traffic and usage patterns in anonymized form (e.g., ss_cvr, ss_cvt).
3.3 Functionality Cookies
These allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your cookie consent preferences) and provide enhanced, personalized features.
Cookie consent banner cookie: Remembers whether you have accepted or rejected non-essential cookies.
3.4 Third-Party Cookies
Some integrated services set their own cookies through our Site when you interact with them:
Mailchimp: When you subscribe to our newsletter via the embedded form, Mailchimp may place cookies to track the success of sign-ups and manage subscriptions. These are governed by Mailchimp’s privacy policy.
Squarespace: In addition to essential and analytics cookies, Squarespace may use cookies for security and load balancing.
Stripe: As above, for payment processing.
4. COOKIE CONSENT AND MANAGEMENT
Upon your first visit, a cookie consent banner appears, allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies (analytics and functionality). You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the banner, or by managing settings via your browser. Most web browsers allow you to:
See what cookies are stored and delete them individually or all at once.
Block third-party cookies entirely.
Block all cookies from specific sites.
Browse in “private” or “incognito” mode to prevent cookie storage.
Please note that if you disable essential cookies, the Site may not function properly, and you may not be able to complete a purchase.
5. DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS
Our Site does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals from browsers due to the lack of an industry standard. However, we support Global Privacy Control (GPC) where feasible and continue to monitor developments.
6. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page regularly to stay informed.
