1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how AMC US LLC, doing business as Galtsand (“Galtsand,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit, access, or interact with www.galtsand.com, our online store, or another digital service that links to this Cookie Policy, collectively referred to as the “Website.”

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and any privacy notice presented when information is collected. Our Privacy Policy explains more broadly how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information and how you may exercise applicable privacy rights.

Different privacy and electronic-communications laws may apply depending on where you live. Where applicable law requires consent before non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used, Galtsand will request consent before activating those technologies. Where applicable law instead provides a right to opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, profiling, or similar processing, Galtsand will provide and honor the applicable choice as required by law.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small data files that a website may place on or read from a computer, smartphone, tablet, browser, or other internet-connected device. Cookies can allow a website or service provider to recognize a browser or device, maintain a session, remember preferences, authenticate users, protect transactions, measure website activity, attribute referrals, and support analytics, advertising, or personalization.

Galtsand may also use pixels, tags, web beacons, software development kits, scripts, application programming interfaces, local storage, session storage, browser identifiers, mobile or device identifiers, and other technologies that store information on, access information from, or recognize a browser or device. This Cookie Policy refers to all of these technologies collectively as “Cookies.” Information collected through Cookies may be considered personal information or personal data under applicable law.

3. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party Cookies are placed through the Galtsand Website and are generally used to operate the Website, maintain shopping carts and sessions, authenticate accounts, remember preferences, provide security, and support Website functionality.

Third-party Cookies or similar technologies are supplied by companies that provide services to Galtsand. Depending on our current Website configuration, these companies may provide ecommerce infrastructure, analytics, advertising, affiliate marketing, attribution, payment processing, fraud prevention, personalization, customer communications, social-media functionality, Website performance, customer support, or other business services.

Where permitted by applicable law and your privacy choices, third parties may receive information about your browser, device, referral source, interactions with the Website, advertisements, affiliate links, purchases, or other online activity. A third party’s independent processing may also be governed by its own privacy policy.

4. Why Galtsand Uses Cookies

Galtsand may use Cookies to operate and maintain the Website; provide shopping-cart, checkout, payment, and account functions; maintain sessions; authenticate customers; protect accounts and transactions; detect and prevent fraud or abuse; identify technical errors; route and balance Website traffic; remember privacy choices; and provide functionality requested by a visitor.

Galtsand may also use Cookies to remember language, country, region, currency, accessibility, and other preferences; understand how visitors interact with the Website; measure traffic and performance; improve Website design and customer experience; understand which products or pages are viewed; attribute visitors and transactions to advertising or affiliate referrals; measure campaigns; create or measure advertising audiences where legally permitted; personalize content or advertising where legally permitted; reduce repetitive advertising; communicate with customers; comply with legal requirements; and protect Galtsand, our customers, and the Services.

Galtsand does not use every category of Cookie for every visitor. The technologies activated may depend on your jurisdiction, consent selections, privacy signals, browser configuration, the page or feature used, and Galtsand’s current Website configuration.

5. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly Necessary Cookies are required to provide the Website, a feature you specifically request, or functionality necessary for security or transaction processing. These Cookies may maintain your shopping cart and Website session; process checkout; facilitate payments; authenticate accounts; protect against fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access; maintain Website and account security; remember privacy and Cookie choices; route Website traffic; balance system load; and retain information needed to complete a transaction or provide another requested service.

Where permitted by applicable law, Strictly Necessary Cookies may be used without consent because the Website or requested service could not reasonably function without them. Disabling these Cookies through browser settings may prevent portions of the Website from working properly.

6. Functional Cookies

Functional Cookies allow the Website to remember choices or provide enhanced functionality. They may remember language, country, region, currency, accessibility settings, customer preferences, recently viewed products, interface selections, and other optional personalization settings.

Depending on applicable law and how a Functional Cookie is used, Galtsand may request consent before activating it. Rejecting Functional Cookies may make certain optional features or personalized settings unavailable without preventing access to the Website’s core shopping functions.

7. Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics and Performance Cookies help Galtsand understand how visitors interact with the Website. These technologies may collect or generate information concerning pages and products viewed, links or buttons selected, navigation paths, session duration, Website errors, loading performance, device type, browser type, operating system, referring source, approximate geographic region, advertising or affiliate source, and other Website interactions.

Galtsand uses this information to analyze performance, diagnose problems, understand customer interactions, improve navigation, measure marketing and affiliate activity, and develop the Services. Depending on Galtsand’s current configuration, analytics providers may include Shopify Analytics, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and other analytics or performance providers. Where applicable law requires consent for Analytics or Performance Cookies, these technologies will be activated only after the required consent has been obtained.

8. Advertising, Targeting, and Marketing Cookies

Advertising, Targeting, and Marketing Cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of advertising and, where permitted, provide advertisements that may be more relevant to a visitor’s interests. These technologies may recognize a browser or device; record visits and interactions with products or pages; measure advertising impressions and conversions; attribute purchases or other actions to campaigns; reduce repetitive advertisements; create or use advertising audiences; support retargeting; personalize advertising; and help Galtsand and its advertising partners understand whether advertisements resulted in Website activity or purchases.

Depending on Galtsand’s current activities and your privacy choices, providers may include Meta, including Facebook and Instagram; Google; TikTok; Pinterest; Klaviyo; Shopify; and other advertising, attribution, or marketing providers. Advertising partners may receive information from the Website and, where permitted by law, may combine it with information obtained through their own services or other sources.

Where applicable law requires prior consent, Advertising, Targeting, and Marketing Cookies will not be activated until the required consent has been obtained. Where an applicable US privacy law provides a right to opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or similar processing, Galtsand will provide an applicable opt-out mechanism.

9. AvantLink and Affiliate Cookies

Galtsand may participate in affiliate-marketing programs administered by AvantLink or other affiliate networks. When you select a Galtsand link or advertisement on an affiliate publisher’s website, social-media account, email, application, or other channel, AvantLink, another affiliate network, or the participating publisher may use Cookies to recognize the referral and determine whether a purchase or other qualifying action resulted from it.

Affiliate Cookies may process or generate an affiliate, click, referral, campaign, or transaction identifier; IP address; browser or device information; referral URL; landing page; date and time; order number; order value; product information; discount information; conversion status; and information about a return or cancellation. Galtsand and its affiliate partners may use this information to attribute a transaction, calculate or validate a commission, prevent affiliate fraud, analyze campaign performance, reconcile returns or cancellations, resolve disputes, and manage the affiliate relationship. Affiliate publishers may receive a commission or other compensation when a customer makes a qualifying purchase through their link.

AvantLink and individual affiliate publishers may process information under their own privacy policies and may act independently from Galtsand for some processing. Galtsand’s Cookie Preferences and Your Privacy Choices controls apply to technologies operated through Galtsand’s Website. They may not control information independently collected on an affiliate publisher’s website, social-media account, application, email, or other service.

Where UK, European, or other applicable law requires prior consent, Galtsand will obtain consent before activating non-essential affiliate-tracking Cookies on the Website. Where applicable US law treats affiliate-related disclosures as sale, sharing, or targeted advertising, eligible residents may opt out through the Your Privacy Choices link.

10. Social Media and Embedded Content

The Website may include functionality or content supplied by social-media companies or other third parties. A video player, social-media feature, embedded post, sharing function, or other third-party content may allow the provider to collect information about your device and Website interaction. Where required by law, Galtsand will obtain consent before activating non-essential third-party technologies associated with embedded content.

11. Shopify and Ecommerce Cookies

The Galtsand Website is powered by Shopify. Shopify and its technologies may use Cookies to support shopping carts, checkout, transaction security, customer authentication, localization, session management, fraud prevention, consent and privacy-preference management, Website operation, and other ecommerce functionality.

Shopify may also provide analytics, privacy, advertising, and other functionality depending on Galtsand’s settings and a visitor’s privacy choices. Some Shopify Cookies are necessary for the online store to function. Other Shopify technologies may require consent or be subject to opt-out choices depending on applicable law and Galtsand’s configuration. Shopify maintains its own privacy and Cookie information explaining its processing practices.

12. Consent in the United Kingdom, European Economic Area, and Similar Jurisdictions

In jurisdictions requiring prior consent for non-essential Cookies, including the United Kingdom and European Economic Area, Galtsand will seek to prevent applicable Analytics, Advertising, Targeting, Marketing, Affiliate, Functional, Social Media, and other non-essential technologies from activating until the required consent has been obtained.

The Website’s consent interface may allow you to accept eligible Cookies, reject non-essential Cookies, or customize preferences by category. Rejecting optional Cookies should not prevent access to core Website functions, although analytics, affiliate attribution, optional functionality, personalization, or embedded content may be unavailable. Galtsand does not treat silence, inactivity, preselected settings, or continued browsing as consent where applicable law requires an affirmative choice.

Where Galtsand relies on consent, you may withdraw or modify it at any time through the Cookie Preferences or equivalent privacy-control link available on the Website. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn. After withdrawal, Galtsand will take the steps required by applicable law to prevent further use of affected non-essential technologies. Cookies already stored on a device may remain until they expire or are deleted, although they should no longer be used for a purpose for which valid consent has been withdrawn when the law prohibits such use.

13. United States Privacy Choices

Privacy laws in California and certain other US states may give eligible residents rights concerning online advertising and disclosures of personal information. Depending on the state, whether the law applies to Galtsand, and the technology involved, these rights may include the ability to opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, certain profiling, or other legally defined processing.

The terms sell, share, and targeted advertising have specific meanings under different laws and do not necessarily mean that Galtsand receives money in exchange for personal information. Advertising, social-media, analytics, or affiliate technologies may involve disclosures that qualify as sale or sharing under a state law even when no personal information is exchanged for money.

Where applicable, you may exercise an available opt-out through the Your Privacy Choices link in the Website footer or another privacy control provided by Galtsand. The Your Privacy Choices control must prevent or restrict applicable Cookies and processing; submitting an opt-out does not disable Strictly Necessary Cookies or prevent processing permitted by law for security, fraud prevention, transactions, or other necessary purposes.

14. Global Privacy Control and Other Preference Signals

Certain browsers and browser extensions allow users to send an automated opt-out preference signal, including Global Privacy Control. Where applicable law requires Galtsand to recognize a qualifying signal, Galtsand will process it as required by law. For example, where the California Consumer Privacy Act applies to Galtsand and the relevant processing, a qualifying Global Privacy Control signal may operate as a request to opt out of sale or sharing associated with the browser or device sending the signal.

The effect of a signal may depend on applicable law, the signal used, the browser or device transmitting it, whether you are logged into an account, and Galtsand’s ability to associate it with other information. A browser-based choice may apply only to the browser or device sending the signal unless applicable law requires broader application.

Some browsers also transmit a Do Not Track signal. There is no uniform legal or technical standard governing all such signals. Galtsand responds to browser or device signals where required by applicable law. This does not limit our obligation to honor Global Privacy Control or another legally recognized opt-out preference signal where required.

15. Information Collected Through Cookies

Depending on the technology, Galtsand and its partners may collect or generate IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, device or browser identifiers, session identifiers, Cookie identifiers, approximate location, referral URL, affiliate or campaign identifier, Website activity, pages and products viewed, searches, cart and checkout interactions, advertising interactions, conversion information, order value, transaction status, timestamps, preferences, account or login status, technical diagnostics, and other online interaction information.

Some of this information may be personal information or personal data under applicable law. Galtsand’s Privacy Policy provides more information about how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information.

16. Cookie Duration and Retention

Session Cookies generally expire when you close your browser or otherwise end the applicable session. Persistent Cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them. The duration of an individual Cookie varies according to its purpose, provider, configuration, and legal requirements.

Galtsand seeks to retain Cookies and Cookie-derived information only for periods reasonably necessary for their purposes, including Website operation, transaction completion, affiliate attribution, commission reconciliation, analytics, security, fraud prevention, recordkeeping, and legal compliance. Current information about a particular Cookie’s provider, category, purpose, and duration may be available through the Cookie Preferences interface or the provider’s documentation.

Because Website technologies change, the specific Cookies used by Galtsand may also change. The Cookie Preferences interface, where available, should be read together with this Cookie Policy and may provide more detailed and current information about individual technologies. Galtsand may update Cookie classifications and disclosures when the Website configuration changes.

17. Browser and Device Controls

Most browsers allow users to view, delete, or block Cookies; block third-party Cookies; receive Cookie notifications; or clear Cookies when the browser closes. Browser controls operate separately from Galtsand’s Website controls. Deleting Cookies may also delete a stored record of a previous consent or opt-out choice and may cause the Cookie banner to appear again.

Blocking certain Cookies may interfere with account access, shopping-cart functionality, checkout, localization, affiliate attribution, or other requested Website features. Browser settings alone may not communicate a legally recognized opt-out preference unless the browser also transmits a qualifying signal such as Global Privacy Control.

18. International Data Transfers

Galtsand operates in the United States and uses service providers and business partners in multiple countries. Information collected through Cookies may therefore be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or another country whose privacy laws differ from those where you live.

Where UK or European data-protection law requires safeguards for restricted international transfers, Galtsand will use recognized legal mechanisms as appropriate, which may include an adequacy decision, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, or another permitted safeguard. Additional information is available in our Privacy Policy.

19. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and the law applicable to Galtsand’s processing, you may have rights concerning personal information collected through Cookies. These may include rights to know, access, correct, delete, obtain a portable copy, object to or restrict processing, withdraw consent, opt out of sale or sharing, opt out of targeted advertising, and exercise applicable rights without unlawful discrimination.

To manage Cookie consent, use the Cookie Preferences control on the Website. To opt out of applicable sale, sharing, or targeted advertising, use the Your Privacy Choices link in the Website footer. To submit another privacy request, contact support@galtsand.us or use the privacy request method described in our Privacy Policy.

20. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Galtsand may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in law, technology, Website configuration, affiliate or advertising relationships, or our business practices. We will post the updated Policy and revise the Last Updated date. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or request new consent before a material change takes effect.
