Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.

Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions. This helps us provide you with a better experience when you browse our website.

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Essential Functionality: To enable core website features and ensure security

3.1 Essential Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as logging into your account.

Note: These cookies are only set when you log into the admin area. Regular website visitors do not receive these cookies.

3.2 Analytics Cookies (Require Consent)

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They are only set if you consent to analytics cookies.

Consent Mode: We use Google Tag Manager Consent Mode v2, which means analytics cookies are only loaded after you explicitly consent. If you reject cookies, no analytics data is collected.

We use browser localStorage (not cookies) to store:

• cookie_consent: Your cookie consent preference (accepted/rejected)
• dcsupply_cart: Shopping cart items

LocalStorage data is stored locally in your browser and is not sent to our servers automatically. You can clear localStorage by clearing your browser data.

We may use third-party services that set their own cookies. These include:

• Google Services: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4 (only if you consent to analytics cookies)
• Future Integrations: We may add other services in the future, which will be disclosed in this policy

Third-party cookies are subject to the respective third party's privacy policies. We have no control over these cookies.
