Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners. XeroStop uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience on xerostop.com.

2. How We Use Cookies

Our website is intentionally lightweight. We use browser storage and cookies only for the following purposes:

• Preferences (local storage): We remember whether you chose the light or dark theme. This value never leaves your device.
• Analytics cookies (if enabled): When Google Analytics is enabled, it sets first-party cookies (such as _ga) to measure aggregated page views and traffic sources. IP addresses are anonymized and advertising features are disabled.

We do not use advertising or marketing cookies, and we do not sell or share browsing data with advertisers.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Depending on whether analytics is enabled, our website may use:

• Local storage: A single theme preference stored by your browser until you clear it.
• First-party analytics cookies: Set on xerostop.com by Google Analytics and kept for up to 13 months.

When you submit our contact form, your message is delivered through Formspree, which may set its own strictly necessary cookies to prevent spam.

4. Your Choices

You can control and manage cookies in several ways. Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies through their settings. You can also delete existing cookies. Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect the functionality of the XeroStop website. For more information, check your browser's help section or visit sites such as allaboutcookies.org.

5. Other Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage, pixel tags, or SDKs for analytics and functionality. Our use of these technologies is consistent with the purposes described in this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy.

6. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
