Effective Date: February 2, 2026 | Last updated: March 2026 | Website: www.botanicalembersco.shop
In plain English: This page explains what cookies are, which ones our website uses, and why. When you clicked Accept on our cookie banner, you agreed to us using the cookies described below. If you clicked Preferences, that brought you here so you can read everything before deciding. Scroll down to Section 4 to understand your choices.
1. Who we are
This Cookie Policy applies to the website www.botanicalembersco.shop, operated by Botanical Embers Collective LLC, located at 1500 North Grant Street, Ste N, Denver, CO 80203, USA.
Our website sells herbal smoking blends and related products. It is intended for adults aged 21 and over only. Our age verification system relies on cookies to function — this is explained in Section 3.2 below.
2. What are cookies?
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, improve performance and support your customer experience.
In plain terms, cookies are tiny text files saved onto your device (computer, phone or tablet) when you visit a website. They are not programs and cannot harm your device. Think of them like a sticky note the website leaves on your device so it can remember certain things, for example, that you already confirmed you are over 21, or that you have items in your shopping cart.
3. The cookies we use
We use four types of cookies on this website. Each is explained below.
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly, including secure checkout, fraud prevention and basic navigation. They also power our age verification system, remembering that you have confirmed you are 21 or over so you are not asked again on every page.
These cookies are required for core site functions and cannot be turned off. Without them, the site simply will not work correctly.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve speed, design and features, for example, understanding which pages are most popular or where visitors tend to leave.
Where possible, analytics data is collected in an aggregated or de-identified form, meaning we see patterns across all visitors rather than tracking you as an individual.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies remember choices and preferences, such as your region, language settings or other selections, to make the site easier and more personal to use on return visits.
3.4 Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set by us or our advertising partners to display more relevant ads to you and to measure how well our marketing campaigns are performing.
Where required by law, you may opt out of targeted advertising and certain data “sales” or “sharing” via:
- Cookie settings on this site (see Section 4 below), and/or
- Universal opt-out signals recognised by your browser or device, where applicable
4. Your choices and how to manage cookies
An honest note about our cookie banner: When you visit our site, you see two options — Accept and Preferences. Clicking Preferences brings you to this page. At this time, our cookie system does not offer individual on/off toggles for each cookie category. By clicking Accept you are agreeing to all the cookie types described in Section 3 above.
We are committed to improving this and hope to offer full category controls in a future website update.
In the meantime, you can manage cookie preferences through your web browser at any time. Here is how to do that in the most common browsers:
- Google Chrome: Three dots (top right) → Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari (iPhone / Mac): Settings → Safari → Privacy & Security → Block All Cookies
- Mozilla Firefox: Three lines (top right) → Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Microsoft Edge: Three dots (top right) → Settings → Cookies and site permissions
To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install the free Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Please note: if you block all cookies, our age verification system may not work correctly and you may be asked to confirm your age on every page you visit.
5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party services rather than by us directly. These may include Google Analytics, payment processors (such as Stripe or PayPal) and social media platforms if you interact with any share or follow buttons. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies which we encourage you to review. We do not control the cookies they set.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting that asks websites not to track your activity. Our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. You can always manage your preferences directly using the browser controls described in Section 4.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example if we add new features to the website or if applicable laws change. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We recommend checking back occasionally.
