This Cookie Policy explains how Gulf Coast Upholstery & Alterations uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, what each type does, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers personal information more broadly.

What Cookies Are

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. It lets the site recognize that browser on a later page or a later visit. Cookies cannot run programs, carry viruses or read anything else on your device. Some are deleted the moment you close the browser, which are called session cookies; others stay for a set period and are called persistent cookies.

Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential cookies — these keep the shopping cart populated as you move between pages, hold your session at checkout, and support basic security. The site cannot function without them and they cannot be switched off from within the site.

• Analytics cookies — we use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages are visited, how people arrive at the site, and where they leave. The reporting is aggregated and tells us about patterns rather than individuals.

• Functional cookies — these remember choices such as a previously entered ZIP code or a dismissed notice, so you are not asked the same thing on every visit.

• Marketing cookies — where used, these measure whether an advertisement led to a visit or an order. We do not build advertising profiles of visitors and we do not sell data collected this way.

Why We Use Cookies

Cookies let the checkout work at all, tell us which items people actually look at so we know which sizes to stock next, show us where the site is confusing enough that visitors give up, and help us confirm that a page is loading properly on the device someone is using. None of that requires knowing who you are.

Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Every major browser lets you see the cookies stored on your device, delete them, block cookies from particular sites, or block them all. The controls sit in the privacy or security section of your browser settings, and the browser’s own help pages give step-by-step instructions for your version. Blocking all cookies will stop the cart and checkout from working, so you may prefer to allow essential cookies and block the rest.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by the services we rely on rather than by us. Google Analytics sets analytics cookies, and PayPal sets cookies during the payment process to keep the transaction secure. These providers use the information in line with their own privacy policies, which are published on their websites.

Do Not Track

Browsers can send a Do Not Track signal to websites. There is still no agreed standard for how a site should respond to it, so our site does not currently change its behavior when it receives one. The browser controls described above remain the reliable way to manage cookies.

Changes to This Policy

We will update this page if we add or remove cookies, or if the services we use change theirs. The effective date shown on the page tells you when it was last revised.

Cookie Questions

If you would like more detail about the cookies this site sets, or help turning them off, ask us.
