Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files or browser storage technologies used to recognize a browser, remember choices, support security, understand website use, and deliver or measure content and advertising. Similar technologies may include pixels, local storage, tags, and software-development kits.

2. Cookie categories

• Strictly necessary: login, security, fraud prevention, load balancing, consent records, and core functions;
• Preferences: language, region, display settings, and saved selections;
• Analytics and performance: visits, referrals, errors, engagement, and site improvement; and
• Advertising: campaign measurement, frequency control, audience selection, and interest-based advertising where used and permitted.

3. Third-party technologies

Hosting, analytics, advertising, payment, video, maps, social, and security providers may place or read technologies subject to their policies. The live consent banner should identify active vendors and purposes.

4. Consent and controls

Where consent is required, nonessential technologies should remain disabled until a visitor chooses them. Visitors may use the cookie-settings link, browser controls, industry opt-out tools, and applicable “Do Not Sell or Share” controls. Blocking necessary cookies may impair functionality.

5. Global Privacy Control

Where legally required and technically supported, Firearms Directory should treat a recognized Global Privacy Control signal as an opt-out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising for that browser.

6. Cookie duration

Session cookies expire when the browser closes; persistent cookies remain until their configured expiration or deletion. Exact cookies and durations should be maintained in the live consent-management inventory.

7. Changes

This policy may be updated when technologies, vendors, or legal requirements change. Clearing cookies may also clear stored consent choices, requiring the visitor to choose again.
