Cookies Policy for Forcecartilage products
Effective
This document explains every category of cookie or parallel technology Pace & Pause uses to merchandise Quiet Tools, secure Rhythm Lab portals, and remember consent choices on forcecartilage.ddd.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device so servers can recognise returning visitors, maintain carts, or log technical diagnostics.
Similar technologies include local storage entries, session storage, pixel tags, and hashed identifiers generated from account numbers.
Why product experiences need cookies
Quiet Atlas downloads require session continuity so encrypted links stay tied to the browser that completed payment.
The Walnut Interval Tower checkout remembers fulfilment preferences such as gift messages while you browse other pages.
Seasonal Rhythm Lab Pass dashboards rely on authentication cookies to keep workshop threads private.
Strictly necessary cookies
- pace_session maintains login state for coaches
- cart_token stores Quiet Tools SKUs between steps
- csrf_guard prevents cross-site form abuse
- load_balancer pins you to a healthy server during traffic spikes
These cannot be disabled without breaking purchases; browsers already let you block all cookies, but the storefront will not function.
Functional cookies
locale_pref remembers Australian English formatting for prices.
accessibility_mode stores enlarged typography choices for PDF previews.
video_quality selects streaming bitrate for Rhythm Lab replays.
Analytics cookies tied to merchandising
quiet_funnel tracks anonymous steps from hero canvas interaction to Quiet Tools order completion.
scroll_depth helps decide whether product descriptions need diagrams for the Interval Tower assembly.
You may decline this category through the consent layer without losing checkout capability.
Consent storage
pacePauseConsent in local storage mirrors the acceptance button in our popup so we do not nag you every visit.
If you clear storage, the banner reappears and logs a fresh timestamp for audit trails.
Third-party cookies
Payment processors and fraud networks may set their own cookies subject to their policies; we only embed their scripts on checkout routes.
Embedded Google Maps on the contact page may store preferences on Google infrastructure when you interact with the map.
Retention periods
Session cookies expire when you close the browser.
Persistent merchandising cookies last up to twelve months unless you reset them.
Consent logs stay for twenty-four months to demonstrate compliance with Australian privacy expectations.
Managing cookies
Use browser settings to delete or block categories; iOS Safari and Android Chrome include per-site controls.
Contact us if blocking cookies breaks a product you purchased so we can suggest alternative fulfilment such as direct email attachments.
Updates
When new Quiet Tools require different storage, we update this Policy and refresh the effective date shown above via JavaScript.
