This Cookie Policy explains how Toploader Co ("we", "us", or "our"), operating at toploaderco.com, uses cookies and similar storage technologies when you visit our TCG and card game accessories review site. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Local storage (specifically localStorage) is a similar browser technology that allows websites to store small amounts of data directly in your browser, without an expiration date, until it is manually cleared. We use both cookies and local storage to support the functionality of our site and, where permitted, to understand how our content is used.
How We Use Cookies and Local Storage
Consent Banner Preference
When you first visit toploaderco.com, you will see a consent banner asking whether you accept or decline non-essential cookies, including analytics. Your choice (either "accept" or "decline") is stored using your browser's localStorage. This allows us to remember your preference so that the banner does not reappear on every page load or future visit. This stored preference is not a cookie in the traditional sense, but it functions similarly by persisting information locally on your device.
Analytics Cookies
If you choose to accept cookies via our consent banner, we enable analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use our site — for example, which reviews and buying guides are most popular, how long visitors stay on a page, and which pages lead to further browsing. This data helps us improve our content about card sleeves, toploaders, deck boxes, and other TCG accessories.
Analytics cookies are only activated after you provide consent. If you decline or take no action, these cookies will not be set, and no analytics data will be collected via cookies on your visit.
Third-Party Cookies
Our analytics functionality is provided by third-party analytics services. When analytics cookies are enabled (following your consent), these third-party providers may set their own cookies on your device to collect information such as your approximate location, device type, browser type, referring website, and pages visited on toploaderco.com.
These third-party analytics providers process data according to their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review the policies of any analytics providers we use, which may be identified in our Privacy Policy, for further detail on how they handle your information.
Essential Storage
Some local storage usage on our site is essential to basic functionality, such as remembering your cookie consent choice itself. This essential storage does not track your browsing behavior across other websites and is not used for advertising purposes.
How to Withdraw or Change Your Consent
You can withdraw or change your cookie consent at any time using one of the following methods:
- Clear your browser's cookies and site data (including local storage) for toploaderco.com through your browser settings. This will remove your previously stored consent choice and any analytics cookies that were set, and you will be shown the consent banner again on your next visit.
- Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies and local storage automatically, either for all sites or specifically for toploaderco.com.
- Use your browser's private or incognito browsing mode, which typically does not retain cookies or local storage data after the session ends.
Instructions for clearing cookies and site data vary by browser. Please consult your browser's help documentation for step-by-step guidance specific to Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or the browser you use.
Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking cookies entirely, blocking third-party cookies specifically, or receiving a notification before a cookie is set. Please note that blocking all cookies and local storage may affect the functionality of our consent banner and other features of the site.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or applicable law. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the date of the most recent revision will be noted where applicable. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
