Cookie policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, including pixels, tags, local storage, and related browser technologies, may perform similar functions.

These technologies can help a website operate, remember choices, maintain shopping-cart and account sessions, secure transactions, prevent fraud, measure performance, and understand how visitors use the site.

Some cookies are placed directly through our website. Others may be placed by service providers that support ecommerce, payments, security, analytics, hosting, or other website functions.

2. Categories of cookies we may use

3. Website services that may use cookies

The technologies used on our website can change as we update features or service providers. Services that may place or use cookies and similar technologies include the following.

WordPress and WooCommerce

Our website uses WordPress and WooCommerce to provide ecommerce functionality. WooCommerce may use cookies and session technologies to maintain shopping-cart contents, recognize changes to the cart, support customer sessions, remember recently viewed products when that feature is enabled, and provide account or checkout functionality.

Examples may include:

• woocommerce_cart_hash — helps determine when cart contents or data change;
• woocommerce_items_in_cart — helps determine when cart contents change;
• wp_woocommerce_session_* — helps associate a customer session with cart information; and
• woocommerce_recently_viewed — may support recently viewed product functionality when enabled.

Stripe

We use Stripe to support payment processing and related transaction services. Stripe may use cookies and similar technologies in connection with payment functionality, security, authentication, fraud prevention, risk management, and transaction processing.

The specific Stripe technologies used may vary depending on the payment method, checkout flow, fraud-prevention features, and Stripe services available during a transaction.

Google Analytics

If Google Analytics is enabled on our website, it may use first-party cookies and similar measurement technologies to help us understand website traffic and visitor interactions.

Google Analytics cookies may include _ga and cookies beginning with _ga_. Their use depends on our current analytics configuration and applicable consent or privacy settings.

Hosting, security, and infrastructure providers

Our hosting, content-delivery, security, anti-abuse, caching, or infrastructure providers may use cookies, local storage, IP-related information, or similar technologies when necessary to deliver pages, maintain website performance, protect the website, detect malicious activity, and prevent fraud or abuse.

4. Session and persistent cookies

Some cookies exist only during a browser session and are deleted or expire after the session ends. Other cookies may remain for a defined period so that a website or service can remember information between visits.

Cookie duration depends on the purpose of the cookie, the service provider, website configuration, browser settings, and whether a feature is enabled. Providers may change cookie names, functions, or retention periods as their services evolve.

5. Your cookie choices

Most browsers allow you to view, delete, restrict, or block cookies through browser privacy or security settings. Your browser may also provide controls for site data, tracking protection, or similar technologies.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies can interfere with important website features such as the shopping cart, account sessions, checkout, payment processing, fraud prevention, or security.

Where applicable law requires a choice regarding non-essential cookies, we may provide additional controls or obtain consent before using those technologies.

6. Analytics and measurement

If analytics services are enabled, we may use aggregated or pseudonymous measurement information to understand how visitors reach and use our website, identify technical problems, measure page and store performance, and improve navigation and customer experience.

Analytics configuration can change over time. We do not intend to send information such as payment-card numbers, account passwords, or refrigerant certification documents to analytics services through website analytics tags.

7. Payment-related technologies

Payment providers may process device, browser, network, transaction, and session information and may use cookies or similar technologies to authenticate requests, provide payment functionality, detect fraud, manage risk, and secure transactions.

Payment-card information submitted through supported payment interfaces is handled by the applicable payment provider according to its own privacy and security practices. Refriggaz does not use cookies to store your full payment-card number on our website.

8. Third-party services

A third-party service may receive information when your browser communicates with that provider in connection with a feature on our website. The provider's use of information is subject to its own privacy, cookie, and security practices.

Third-party services may change their technologies, cookie names, purposes, or retention periods without our direct control. We periodically update our disclosures when our website configuration or material service providers change.

9. Browser privacy signals

Browsers and devices may offer privacy settings or signals intended to communicate tracking preferences. The availability and legal effect of those signals can vary by technology and jurisdiction.

We evaluate applicable privacy requirements and the technical capabilities of the services used on our website. You may also use browser settings to manage cookies and other stored website data directly.

10. Personal information and our Privacy Policy

Cookies and similar technologies can involve the processing of information associated with a device, browser, session, or interaction with our website.

For more information about how Refriggaz collects, uses, discloses, protects, and retains personal information, please review our Privacy Policy.

11. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, service providers, technologies, legal obligations, or privacy practices change. The date at the top of this page identifies the most recent revision.

Material changes will apply prospectively unless applicable law requires otherwise.
