COOKIE POLICY AND DEVICE PRIVACY
Last updated: 30 September 2026
1. PURPOSE AND OPERATOR
This policy explains the rules for cookies and similar technologies associated with cart-bc-ltd.com and the payment services used for our projects. The website operator is 1609372 B.C. LTD, owned by Isaiah David Walker, at 3504 32 Street, Vernon, BC V1T 5N3, Canada. Questions can be sent to contact@cart-bc-ltd.com.
Read this policy with the Privacy Policy, which addresses personal information more generally. Consent to an optional cookie is not acceptance of a paid service, and acceptance of a project is not consent to optional tracking. This policy does not authorize a tracking tool that has not been appropriately disclosed to visitors.
2. WHAT COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES DO
A cookie is a small item of information placed on, or read from, a device through a browser. Related technologies can include local storage, pixels and identifiers used when a browser requests content. Depending on their purpose, these technologies can support a requested function, remember a choice, protect a transaction or measure activity.
Some identifiers remain only for a session, while others persist until their expiry or deletion. A first-party cookie relates to the website being visited; a third-party technology involves another provider. These labels do not determine whether consent is needed. The actual purpose, information involved and legal conditions matter.
3. STRICTLY NECESSARY FUNCTIONS
Some storage or access may be necessary to transmit a communication or provide a function that a visitor has expressly requested. This may include appropriate session handling, security functions needed for a requested transaction or recording a privacy choice. An exemption from cookie consent applies only where the relevant legal conditions are satisfied.
Necessary processing must remain limited to its justified purpose. A tool cannot be treated as necessary merely because it is useful to our business, included by default in a service or convenient for marketing. Exemption from cookie consent does not remove transparency, security or other obligations where personal information is involved.
4. STRIPE PAYMENT TECHNOLOGIES
Stripe is our identified payment provider. Opening or using a Stripe payment interface can involve technologies supporting payment functionality, transaction security and fraud prevention. The information and settings depend on the Stripe service presented and the actual integration. These functions must be distinguished from unrelated advertising or optional audience analysis.
Stripe provides information about its technologies at https://stripe.com/legal/cookies-policy and about personal information at https://stripe.com/privacy. Review the information accompanying the payment interface you use. Referring to Stripe does not mean that every cookie described on its own website is installed on cart-bc-ltd.com, and it does not make every possible Stripe function automatically exempt from consent.
5. OPTIONAL ANALYTICS AND ADVERTISING
Optional analytics can measure visits and interactions. Advertising technologies can associate activity with campaigns, build audiences or support personalization. These are different purposes from processing a payment requested by the customer. A description of such categories is not a statement that a particular analytics or advertising provider has been installed.
If optional technologies are introduced, their purposes, providers and relevant storage periods must be disclosed before the required consent is requested. Where consent is required, the technologies must remain inactive until a valid choice is made. An analytics exemption can be used only where the actual implementation satisfies all applicable conditions; calling a tool “statistics” is not enough.
6. MAKING A CHOICE
Where a consent interface is presented, you must be able to accept or refuse optional purposes through clear choices. Optional permissions must not be inferred from silence, scrolling, continued browsing or the mere closing of a page. Preselected permissions are not an appropriate substitute for the affirmative action required by law.
Refusing optional tracking must be as straightforward as accepting it. Information should explain the available categories without disguising advertising as a necessary function. Where separate purposes are offered, your choice should apply to those purposes rather than forcing acceptance of all unrelated uses together.
7. CHANGING OR WITHDRAWING A CHOICE
Where optional tracking is offered, an accessible way to revisit its settings must accompany that use. Withdrawal must be as easy as granting consent. It applies to future processing based on that consent and does not retrospectively invalidate processing lawfully performed before withdrawal.
If you cannot find or use an applicable control, contact us and identify the page and browser concerned. An email enquiry is an additional assistance channel, not a substitute for an on-site withdrawal control where that is required. You may also use your browser’s settings to inspect or remove stored items, subject to the limitations explained below.
8. BROWSER SETTINGS
Most browsers offer controls to view cookies, delete stored site data, restrict third-party cookies or block storage more widely. Consult the help information for the browser and device you actually use. A change in one browser does not necessarily change the settings in another browser or on a different device.
Deleting stored information can remove a remembered privacy choice or interrupt a session. A private browsing window may limit local persistence but does not itself make every interaction anonymous. Blocking storage required for a requested payment function may affect that function. These technical consequences do not justify activating optional advertising against your choice.
9. DURATION AND RENEWED PERMISSION
Storage periods depend on the specific technology and purpose. The applicable disclosure for an optional tool must give meaningful information about its duration, rather than rely solely on a generic maximum covering unrelated tools. Provider information relevant to a payment interface should be reviewed alongside the information displayed for that interface.
A material new purpose or provider may require new information and a fresh choice before activation. A previously recorded consent cannot be stretched to authorize unrelated future tracking. Keeping a limited record of a preference or the consent process must not become a reason to retain unnecessary browsing information indefinitely.
10. DATA, RECIPIENTS AND TRANSFERS
Identifiers and technical observations may be personal information where they relate to an identifiable person. The Privacy Policy explains relevant purposes, recipients, international processing, retention criteria and rights. We are based in Canada, and a payment provider may involve processing in other jurisdictions under its own disclosed arrangements.
Consent to optional device access is not, by itself, a universal legal basis for all subsequent personal-data uses or international transfers. Each activity must meet the requirements that apply to it. You can ask us for clarification about a technology associated with our website without agreeing to its optional use.
11. EXTERNAL CONTENT AND WEBSITES
A link to an external website is different from loading embedded content from that provider directly in a page. If an embedded feature requires optional tracking, the appropriate disclosure and consent must precede that tracking. A link or provider logo should not be understood as an automatic authorization to disclose a visitor’s activity.
After you intentionally navigate to another website, its operator is responsible for the information and controls it presents. Our policy does not replace the destination’s policy. If you are uncertain whether you are still on our website or inside a payment interface, check the address shown by your browser before supplying payment or personal information.
12. QUESTIONS AND COMPLAINTS
To report unexpected tracking or a control that does not work, email contact@cart-bc-ltd.com with the page address, approximate time and a description of what happened. A screenshot can help if it does not reveal payment details or private information. Do not send passwords, card security codes or unrelated browsing history.
You may exercise applicable privacy rights and complain to the competent privacy authority, including the CNIL in France where relevant. Contacting us does not remove those rights. Updates to this policy are identified by the date above, and publication of a revised policy does not replace a consent that must be obtained separately.
