Cookie Policy
Effective date: October 1, 2026
This page explains the cookies and similar technologies used on eCommerceFastlane.com, what each group does, and how to control them. It works alongside our Privacy Policy.
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies include pixels, scripts, and local storage that do the same job. Some are set by us (first-party). Others are set by the services we use (third-party) and collect information such as your IP address, browser details, and the page you are viewing.
Your choices
When you first visit, a banner lets you accept all, reject all non-essential cookies, or choose by category. Analytics and marketing technologies do not load until you accept them. You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie Preferences” link in the site footer. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; strictly necessary cookies may still be needed for the site to work properly.
