Cookie Policy
Effective date: 16 September 2026
This policy explains the cookies and similar browser storage used on www.shelfmeisters.com. The website is operated by ShelfMeisters LLC. A cookie is a small file stored by your browser; local storage can remember a choice without using a cookie.
What we use
| Technology | Purpose | Category | Duration and choice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ShelfMeisters cookie preference record | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected optional analytics | Necessary preference storage | Up to 6 months; needed to remember your choice |
Google Analytics cookies, including _ga and _ga_<ID> where set | Distinguish visits and maintain analytics session information so we can understand aggregate website use | Optional analytics | Configured to expire after up to 13 months; set only after you accept analytics |
The <ID> part of a Google Analytics cookie name varies with the site’s Google tag. Google Analytics may also use other identifiers depending on its configuration; the deployed site should be checked when changes are made. Vercel hosts the website and processes technical requests, but hosting alone does not mean that Vercel places an analytics cookie in your browser. See our Privacy Policy for information about website logs and providers.
Your choice
You can use the cookie banner to Accept analytics or Reject analytics. Optional Google Analytics tags and cookies must remain inactive until you accept. Your choice is remembered for up to six months. You can change it at any time using Cookie Settings in the footer. Withdrawing consent stops future analytics collection through the website and does not reverse information already processed.
You can also delete or block cookies through your browser. If you clear your browser storage, we may ask for your choice again. Blocking the preference record may mean the banner reappears.
We do not use advertising or social-media tracking cookies on this website.
