This Cookie Policy explains how Corporate Gift Experts uses cookies and similar technologies on app.corporategiftexperts.com. For a broader description of our data practices, see our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to store information. "Local storage" and "session storage" are similar technologies that store data in your browser. We use the word "cookies" here to refer to all of these.
2. How we use cookies
We use only cookies that are strictly necessary for the Service to function or that improve security. We do not use cookies for cross-site advertising or third-party marketing.

2.3. Analytics
We do not currently use third-party analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, etc.). If we add analytics in the future, we will update this policy and offer an opt-out mechanism.
3. Your choices
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the Service to stop working (for example, you will not be able to stay signed in).
We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal. When we detect it, we treat it as an opt-out from any non-essential cookies.
4. Third-party services
Some cookies are set by third-party service providers we rely on. Their practices are governed by their own privacy policies:
- Clerk — clerk.com/legal/privacy
- Stripe — stripe.com/privacy
- Vercel — vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy
5. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
