Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Ascend Labs uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on ascends-labs.store. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described below. You can manage your preferences at any time.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time, so you don't have to re-enter information each visit. Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party services we use on our site.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four categories of cookies on our website:
Essential cookies — These are required for the website to function. They enable core features such as your shopping cart, checkout, and secure login. These cookies cannot be disabled as the site would not work without them.
Functional cookies — These remember your preferences such as currency selection or language settings to provide a more personalised experience.
Analytics cookies — These help us understand how visitors interact with our site by collecting anonymous data on pages visited, time spent, and navigation paths. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
Marketing cookies — These track your activity across websites to deliver relevant advertisements. We use the Meta Pixel and Google Ads for this purpose. These cookies are only placed with your consent.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use, including Shopify, Google Analytics, Meta (Facebook), and Google Ads. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. We have no direct control over the cookies placed by these services.
4. Your Consent
When you first visit our website, you will be shown a cookie consent banner. You can choose to accept all cookies, accept only essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category. Your choice will be saved for future visits. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting our site.
5. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can control and delete cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies at any time. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of our website, including your ability to complete a purchase. For guidance on managing cookies, visit the help section of your browser.
6. Cookie Retention
Cookies are stored for varying lengths of time depending on their purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period — typically between 30 days and 2 years — or until you manually delete them.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our business practices. Any updates will be reflected by a revised date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
