Cookie Policy
Cookie Policy
A short list, because we only use what a store actually needs.
Last updated: September 2, 2026
The short version: functional cookies for cart, login and language; Stripe fraud-prevention at checkout; your theme choice lives in local storage. Google AdSense advertising cookies are the only third-party cookies on this site, set only after you consent where the law requires it. We set no analytics cookies of our own.
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files a site stores in your browser. We also use browser local storage for one preference. Neither can run code or read your files — they are memory, nothing more.

These cookies are set by Google when ads are displayed, not by us. Visitors from the EEA, UK and Switzerland see a consent banner first and can change or withdraw consent at any time. See the Advertising section of our Privacy Policy for details and opt-out links.
3. What We Do Not Set
- No social-media retargeting pixels. Google AdSense advertising cookies (see above) are the only advertising cookies, and they are set only after consent where the law requires it.
- We enable no analytics cookies of our own. If we turn on privacy-respecting analytics later, this page gets updated first and a notice appears before any new cookie is set.
- The simulator at app.sensbench.com needs no account and sets no tracking cookies.
4. How to Control Cookies
Every browser lets you view, block, or delete cookies (usually under Settings → Privacy). Blocking essential cookies will break the cart and checkout — that is the honest trade-off. Blocking anything else changes nothing about how the site works.
5. Changes & Contact
We update this list if the tooling changes; the date at the top tracks the current version. Questions: [email protected]. See also our Privacy Policy.
