Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 2026

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. In modern web development, we also utilize a related technology called "Local Storage," which performs a similar function but allows data to be stored directly in your browser without communicating back to the server on every request. At TribeSport Heritage Co., we use these technologies to ensure our e-commerce platform functions smoothly and provides a tailored shopping experience.

2. Essential Operational Storage (Strictly Necessary)

The primary tracking technologies we deploy are strictly necessary for the operation of our digital storefront. We use your browser's local storage to save critical data that allows you to shop effectively. This includes:

• Shopping Cart ("cart"): Retaining the heritage jerseys, hoodies, and accessories you have selected as you navigate between product pages and the checkout.
• Supporter Account ("currentUser" / "users"): Maintaining your secure authentication state so you do not have to log in repeatedly when viewing your order history or account dashboard.
• Wishlist ("wishlist"): Saving the specific items you have marked with a heart icon for future consideration.
• Consent Management ("cookieConsent"): Recording your decision to accept our tracking policy so the notification banner does not repeatedly disrupt your browsing.

Because these storage mechanisms are essential to providing the service you requested (e.g., buying a product), they cannot be disabled within our system.

3. Analytics and Performance Cookies

With your consent, we may deploy performance cookies to understand how supporters navigate our website. These tools aggregate anonymous data, such as which retro kits are viewed most frequently or if users are encountering errors during the checkout flow. This data allows us to optimize the site layout and improve the overall user experience.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. For instance, our secure payment gateway may utilize cookies to authenticate transactions and prevent fraud. We ensure that any third-party partners maintain rigorous privacy standards consistent with our own.

5. Managing Your Preferences

You have full control over the data stored in your browser. Most modern web browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies and local storage data via the settings menu. However, please be advised that if you clear your local storage, your shopping cart will be emptied, and you will be signed out of your TribeSport account.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our operational practices or legal obligations. We encourage you to review this page occasionally to stay informed about how we use tracking technologies.
