Last Updated: August 10, 2026

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, and related digital services that link to this Cookie Policy (collectively, the “Website”).

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and other applicable privacy notices.

Depending on your location, different privacy and electronic-communications laws may apply to the use of cookies and similar technologies.

Where applicable law requires consent before non-essential technologies are used, we will seek that consent before activating those technologies.

Where applicable law instead provides a right to opt out of certain processing, targeted advertising, sale, sharing, profiling, or similar activities, we will provide and honor applicable choices as required by law.

Nothing in this Cookie Policy is intended to waive, restrict, or limit any privacy right that cannot lawfully be waived or restricted.

WHAT ARE COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES?

Cookies are small data files that websites 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, and support advertising or personalization.

We may also use technologies that function similarly to cookies, including:

• pixels;

• web beacons;

• software development kits (“SDKs”);

• scripts;

• APIs;

• local storage;

• browser identifiers;

• mobile or device identifiers; and

• other technologies that store information on, access information from, or recognize a browser or device.

For convenience, we refer to all of these technologies collectively in this Policy as “Cookies.”

Some Cookies collect information that may constitute personal information, personal data, or another legally protected category of information under applicable privacy laws.

We do not use every category of Cookie for every visitor.

The Cookies used may depend on your jurisdiction, consent choices, privacy signals, browser configuration, and the technologies currently enabled on our Website.

CATEGORIES OF COOKIES

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly Necessary Cookies are required to provide the Website, a feature that you specifically request, or functionality necessary for security or transaction processing.

They may be used to:

• maintain your shopping cart;

• maintain Website sessions;

• process checkout;

• facilitate payment transactions;

• provide other functionality that is strictly necessary to deliver a service you request.

Where permitted by applicable law, Strictly Necessary Cookies may be used without your consent because the Website or requested service could not reasonably function without them.

Where legally required, information concerning these Cookies will still be provided even though consent is not required.

Disabling Strictly Necessary Cookies through your browser may prevent parts of the Website from functioning properly.

B. Functional Cookies

Functional Cookies allow the Website to remember choices or provide enhanced functionality.

They may remember:

• language preferences;

• country or region;

• currency;

• customer preferences;

• accessibility settings;

• recently viewed products;

• interface selections; and

• other optional personalization settings.

Depending on applicable law and the manner in which a Functional Cookie is used, your consent may be required before it is activated.

C. Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics and Performance Cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website.

These technologies may collect or generate information concerning:

We use this information to analyze Website performance, diagnose problems, understand customer interactions, improve navigation, and develop our Services.

Our analytics providers may include, depending on our then-current Website configuration:

• 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.

D. Advertising, Targeting and Marketing Cookies

Advertising and Marketing Cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of advertising and, where permitted, provide advertising that is more relevant to visitors.

Depending on our Website configuration and your privacy choices, these technologies may:

• recognize a browser or device;

Providers may include, depending on our then-current advertising activities:

• Google;

• TikTok;

• Pinterest;

• Klaviyo;

• Shopify; and

• other advertising, attribution, or marketing providers.

Advertising partners may receive information from our Website and, where permitted under applicable law, may combine that information with information obtained through their own services or other sources.

Where applicable law requires prior consent, these technologies will not be activated until the required consent has been obtained.

Where applicable U.S. privacy laws provide a right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, targeted advertising, or similar processing, applicable opt-out mechanisms will be provided.

E. Social Media and Embedded Content Technologies

Our Website may include functionality or content supplied by social-media companies or other third parties.

For example, a video player, social-media feature, embedded post, sharing functionality, or other third-party content may cause the third party to collect information about the device or Website interaction.

Where required by applicable law, non-essential third-party technologies associated with such content will be subject to applicable consent requirements.

SHOPIFY AND OUR ECOMMERCE PLATFORM

Our Website is powered by Shopify.

Shopify and its technologies may use Cookies and similar technologies to provide ecommerce functionality.

Depending on the functionality used, Shopify Cookies may 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, or other functionality depending on Galtsand's settings and the visitor's privacy choices.

Some Shopify Cookies are necessary for our online store to function.

Additional Shopify technologies may be subject to consent or opt-out choices depending on applicable law and our configuration.

Shopify maintains its own privacy and cookie information explaining its processing practices.

COOKIE CONSENT IN JURISDICTIONS REQUIRING PRIOR CONSENT

In jurisdictions requiring prior consent for non-essential Cookies or similar technologies, we intend to prevent applicable non-essential technologies from being activated until the required consent is obtained.

This may include visitors in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions with comparable requirements.

Depending on your jurisdiction and available Website functionality, our consent interface may allow you to:

• Accept All eligible Cookies;

• Reject Non-Essential Cookies; and/or

• Customize Cookie Preferences by category.

Refusing optional Cookies should not prevent access to the core Website, although some optional functionality, personalization, analytics, or embedded content may be unavailable.

We do not treat your silence, inactivity, or continued browsing as consent where applicable law requires an affirmative action.

WITHDRAWING OR CHANGING CONSENT

Where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw or modify that consent as provided by applicable law.

You may generally access the Cookie Preferences or equivalent privacy-control link available through our Website to review or modify your selections.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

After you withdraw consent, we will take steps required by applicable law to prevent further use of the affected non-essential technologies.

Certain Cookies already stored on your device may remain until they expire or are deleted through browser or device controls, although they should no longer be used for purposes for which valid consent has been withdrawn where applicable law prohibits such use.

UNITED STATES PRIVACY CHOICES

Privacy laws in certain U.S. states may provide residents with rights relating to online advertising and disclosure of personal information.

Depending on the state and whether the applicable law applies to Galtsand, those rights may include the ability to opt out of:

• sale of personal information;

• sharing of personal information;

• targeted advertising;

• certain forms of profiling; or

• other legally defined processing.

Terms such as “sell,” “share,” and “targeted advertising” have specific legal meanings under different state privacy laws and do not necessarily mean that Galtsand receives money in exchange for personal information.

Where applicable, you may exercise available rights through our Website privacy controls, a “Your Privacy Choices”, “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”, or similar mechanism, or through the methods described in our Privacy Policy.

GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL AND OTHER OPT-OUT PREFERENCE SIGNALS

Certain browsers and browser extensions allow users to send an automated privacy preference signal, including Global Privacy Control (“GPC”).

Where applicable law requires Galtsand to recognize a qualifying opt-out preference signal, we will process that signal as required by applicable law.

For example, where the California Consumer Privacy Act applies to Galtsand and the relevant processing, a qualifying GPC signal may operate as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information associated with that browser or device.

The effect of a privacy signal may depend on:

• applicable law;

• the signal used;

• the browser or device transmitting it;

• whether you are logged into an account; and

• our ability to associate the signal with other information.

A browser-based choice may apply only to the browser or device from which the signal is sent unless applicable law requires broader application.

DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS

Some browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” or similar signal.

There is not necessarily a uniform legal or technical standard governing all such signals.

Accordingly, we respond to browser or device signals where required by applicable law and as described in our Privacy Policy or privacy controls.

This section does not limit our obligation to honor GPC or another legally recognized opt-out preference signal where applicable law requires us to do so.

THIRD-PARTY TECHNOLOGIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS

Depending on the technologies currently enabled on our Website, third-party providers may include companies providing:

• Shopify ecommerce services;

• Klaviyo services;

• Microsoft services;

• payment processing;

• fraud prevention;

• customer support;

• analytics;

The presence of a provider in this Policy does not necessarily mean that every visitor is subject to that provider's Cookies or that the provider is currently used for every purpose described.

The actual technologies activated may depend on our Website configuration, visitor location, consent preferences, and applicable law.

Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy notices in circumstances where they act independently.

Where required by law, we take appropriate measures concerning our relationships with service providers, processors, contractors, or other recipients of personal information.

COOKIE DURATION AND RETENTION

Cookies may be either session Cookies or persistent Cookies.

Session Cookies

Session Cookies generally expire when you close your browser or otherwise end the applicable session.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent Cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

The duration of individual Cookies varies according to their purpose, provider, configuration, and legal requirements.

We seek to retain Cookies and Cookie-derived information only for periods reasonably necessary for the purposes for which they are used, subject to applicable legal, contractual, security, fraud-prevention, recordkeeping, and compliance requirements.

The current duration of particular Cookies may be available through our Cookie Preferences interface or the applicable provider's documentation.

CURRENT COOKIE INFORMATION

Because Website technologies change over time, the specific Cookies and technologies used by our Website may also change.

Our consent-management or Cookie Preferences interface, where available, may provide more detailed and current information regarding individual Cookies, including information such as:

• Cookie or technology name;

• provider;

• category;

• purpose; and

• duration.

That interface should be considered together with this Cookie Policy.

We periodically review the Cookies and technologies used on our Website and may update our Cookie classifications or disclosures when Website technologies change.

BROWSER AND DEVICE CONTROLS

Most browsers allow you to manage Cookies through browser settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• view stored Cookies;

• delete individual Cookies;

• delete all Cookies;

• block certain Cookies;

• block third-party Cookies;

• receive notifications concerning Cookies; or

• clear Cookies when closing the browser.

Browser controls operate separately from Galtsand's Website privacy controls.

Deleting Cookies may also delete a stored preference indicating that you previously rejected or accepted certain Cookies, which may cause our Cookie banner to appear again.

Blocking certain Cookies may interfere with Website functions, including account access, shopping-cart functionality, checkout, localization, or other requested functionality.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Galtsand operates and uses service providers in multiple countries.

As a result, information obtained through Cookies may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries outside the jurisdiction where you reside, including the United States.

Data-protection laws in those countries may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers of personal information, we will use legally recognized transfer mechanisms or safeguards as appropriate to the circumstances.

Additional information concerning international transfers may be provided in our Privacy Policy.

YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

Depending on where you reside and the laws applicable to Galtsand's processing, you may have rights concerning personal information collected through Cookies.

Those rights may include, where applicable, the right to:

• know or access personal information;

• correct inaccurate personal information;

• request deletion;

• obtain a copy or portability of certain information;

• restrict certain processing;

• object to certain processing;

• withdraw consent;

• opt out of sale or sharing of personal information;

• opt out of targeted advertising;

• opt out of certain profiling;

• limit certain uses of sensitive personal information;

• appeal certain privacy-request decisions; and

• lodge a complaint with an applicable regulatory authority.

Not every right applies in every jurisdiction or circumstance.

Additional information about your rights, applicable exceptions, and how to exercise those rights is available in our Privacy Policy.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Our Website is intended for a general audience and is not designed as a service directed specifically to children.

We do not intend to use Cookies to knowingly engage in advertising or other processing involving children where such activity is prohibited by applicable law.

Where applicable law imposes age-specific consent, opt-in, advertising, or data-processing requirements, we will apply those requirements to the extent legally required and reasonably applicable to our Services.

Additional information concerning children's personal information may be provided in our Privacy Policy.

SECURITY AND FRAUD PREVENTION TECHNOLOGIES

Certain technologies are used to protect Galtsand, our Website, customers, accounts, transactions, and payment processes.

These technologies may identify unusual browser, device, transaction, account, or network behavior for purposes such as:

• fraud detection;

• authentication;

• cybersecurity;

• abuse prevention;

• bot detection;

• payment security;

• account protection; and

• prevention of unauthorized transactions.

Where these technologies qualify as strictly necessary under applicable law, they may operate without optional Cookie consent.

Information collected for security purposes may be retained where reasonably necessary to investigate, prevent, or document security or fraudulent activity, subject to applicable law.
