1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function and give site operators insight into how visitors use them.
2. Cookies We Use
We keep our cookie usage minimal. Here is exactly what we set:
Essential — Always Active
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| flc_cookie_consent | Flat Line Co. | Stores your consent choice so we don't ask again | 1 year |
| shopify* | Shopify | Cart, checkout, and session management | Session / 2 weeks |
These are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled.
Analytics — Requires Your Consent
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique users for traffic statistics | 2 years |
| ga* | Google Analytics | Maintains session state for analytics | 2 years |
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate site traffic — pages visited, session duration, and general region. IP anonymization is enabled. This data is never used for advertising. These cookies are only set if you click Accept on the banner.
We do not use advertising, retargeting, or social media cookies.
3. Your Choices
When you first visit, a small banner asks for your consent to analytics cookies. You can Decline — it is just as easy as accepting, and the site works fully without analytics cookies.
To change your choice, clear cookies or local storage for this site in your browser settings. The banner will reappear on your next visit.
You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. Third-Party Privacy Policies
Google Analytics is operated by Google LLC and governed by the Google Privacy Policy. Shopify's cookie practices are covered by the Shopify Privacy Policy.
5. Changes to This Policy
If we add or change cookies, we will update this page and reset consent so the banner reappears.
