This is the detail page on cookies. The short version: we use the minimum number of cookies the site needs to actually work, and we don’t run advertising trackers on the parts of the site where they aren’t earning their seat. The longer version is below. Our privacy page covers the broader picture of what data we collect and why.

A cookie is a small piece of text a website stores in your browser so it can remember things between visits, like whether you’re logged in or what’s in your cart. Cookies aren’t programs, can’t read other files on your device, and stay where they are until your browser clears them or they expire.

The cookies we set ourselves

Cart and session. When you add a template to your cart, your browser stores a session ID so we can find your cart again at checkout. Cleared automatically when the cart empties or the session expires.

Theme preference. A small entry that remembers whether you’ve switched the site to dark mode. Strictly cosmetic, never shared.

Account login. If you log into your account, the standard WordPress login cookie keeps you signed in. Cleared the moment you log out.

Third-party tags

On checkout-adjacent pages (cart, checkout, account), and on product pages, we load Google Tag Manager and a small set of advertising pixels (Google Ads, Facebook, Pinterest, Reddit). These tell us which ads paid off and which didn’t, so we don’t keep buying the ones that don’t work. None of these tags see your name, payment details, or address; they only see that a sale happened, what it was, and the page that led to it.

On the blog, the niche hubs, and most informational pages, those tags only fire after you start interacting with the page (scroll, click, key press, or after a five-second timeout). If you bounce inside the first second, no tracker runs.

One small analytics cookie records aggregate page views (which posts get read, which products get viewed). It is never linked to your name, email, or order. If your browser is set to “Do Not Track”, we honour it.

How to turn cookies off

Every browser has a “clear cookies for this site” button somewhere in its settings; that wipes everything we’ve stored. If you’d rather block them in advance, the same settings will have a “block all cookies” option for the site. Blocking all cookies will break the cart (it will keep emptying itself) and the dark-mode toggle (it will forget on every refresh), but nothing else.

If you’d prefer we never set the analytics cookie for you specifically, write to contact@templacity.com with a rough description of the browser or device you use, and we’ll flag it on our end.

Updates

If we add or remove a cookie, or add a new third-party tag, this page changes first. We don’t quietly slip new trackers in.
