1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that websites may place on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies can help websites remember your preferences, keep products in your shopping cart, maintain checkout sessions, recognize returning browsers or devices, improve security, understand website performance, measure website traffic, and support advertising and marketing functions where permitted. Cookies may contain identifiers or technical information associated with your browser or device.

2. What Are Similar Technologies?

In addition to cookies, Wearaxiom and our service providers may use similar technologies, where applicable, such as pixels, tags, web beacons, local storage, session storage, software development tools, device identifiers, tracking technologies, and server-side logs. For simplicity, this policy generally refers to these technologies collectively as "cookies."

3. Why We Use Cookies

Wearaxiom may use cookies for several purposes, including operating wearaxiom.com, maintaining website security, supporting shopping cart functions, enabling checkout, remembering customer preferences, preventing fraud, understanding website performance, analyzing website traffic, improving customer experience, measuring marketing performance, and supporting relevant advertising where permitted. We aim to use cookies only for legitimate operational, analytical, security, and marketing purposes.

4. Types of Cookies We May Use

Cookies may be grouped into several categories depending on their function:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for core website functions, including website navigation, shopping cart functionality, checkout, payment-related sessions, user authentication, security, fraud prevention, cookie preference management, load balancing, and session management. Because these cookies are necessary for the website to operate, they may not always be optional. Disabling strictly necessary cookies through your browser may cause parts of the website to stop functioning properly.
• Functional Cookies: Help remember choices you make, such as website preferences, language preferences, region settings, shopping selections, previously entered information, and customer interface preferences, improving convenience when you return to the website.
• Analytics and Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use wearaxiom.com by collecting information about pages visited, time spent on pages, navigation paths, device types, browser types, referring websites, website errors, website speed, traffic patterns, and general interaction with website features, allowing us to improve website functionality and customer experience.
• Advertising and Marketing Cookies: Where permitted by applicable law and subject to required choices or consent, used to measure advertising performance, understand interactions with advertisements, attribute visits or purchases to advertising campaigns, limit repetitive advertising, build advertising audiences, and display more relevant advertising, placed by Wearaxiom or authorized third-party advertising or marketing service providers.

5. First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are cookies placed directly by wearaxiom.com or on our behalf. These cookies may be used for shopping cart functionality, session management, checkout, security, preferences, website performance, and analytics.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies or similar technologies may be placed or operated by third-party service providers that assist us with payment processing, website hosting, analytics, advertising, fraud prevention, customer support, performance monitoring, and marketing measurement. Third parties may process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies. Wearaxiom does not control every cookie independently set by third-party providers.

7. Session Cookies

Session cookies are generally temporary and may be deleted automatically when you close your browser, end your website session, or complete certain activities. Session cookies may support temporary functions such as shopping cart or checkout sessions.

8. Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies may remain on your device after you close your browser until their defined expiration date, until you delete them manually, until your browser removes them, or until the cookie is otherwise invalidated. Persistent cookies may be used for preferences, analytics, security, or marketing purposes.

9. Shopping Cart Cookies

Wearaxiom may use cookies or similar technologies to remember products added to your shopping cart. Without these technologies, the website may not be able to maintain your cart while you navigate between pages. Shopping cart cookies may be considered essential to normal e-commerce functionality.

10. Checkout Cookies

Cookies may be used during checkout to maintain checkout sessions, associate products with your order, support payment processing, prevent duplicate transactions, maintain security, reduce fraud, and preserve checkout progress. Disabling these cookies may prevent checkout from functioning properly.

11. Payment-Related Technologies

Our payment service providers may use cookies and related technologies to authenticate payment sessions, process transactions, detect fraud, confirm payment status, and improve payment security. Wearaxiom may support payment methods including credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, Elo, JCB, UnionPay) and express checkout and digital wallets (Shop Pay, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Venmo). Payment providers may operate under their own privacy and cookie practices.

12. Security and Fraud-Prevention Cookies

Cookies or similar technologies may help us detect suspicious activity, prevent unauthorized transactions, protect customer accounts, protect checkout, identify unusual website behavior, prevent automated abuse, and protect our website infrastructure. These technologies may be necessary to protect customers and our services.

13. Analytics

Wearaxiom may use analytics technologies to better understand website performance. Analytics information may include number of visitors, page views, approximate session duration, device type, browser information, referring source, general geographic region, website navigation patterns, conversion activity, and technical performance information, helping us identify problems and improve our website.

14. Advertising Measurement

Where applicable and permitted, cookies may be used to understand whether advertising leads to website visits, product views, shopping cart activity, purchases, and other website interactions to help us evaluate advertising effectiveness.

15. Personalized Advertising

Where permitted by applicable law, advertising technologies may use browsing or interaction data to support personalized or targeted advertising. Depending on your location, you may have the right to reject certain advertising cookies, opt out of targeted advertising, opt out of certain sharing of personal information, or change previously selected cookie preferences, subject to applicable law.

16. Information Cookies May Collect

Depending on the cookie type and service provider, cookies may collect or store information such as cookie identifiers, browser type, device type, IP address, operating system, approximate geographic location, referring URL, pages viewed, session information, interaction information, shopping cart information, advertising identifiers, and preference information. Cookies do not necessarily identify you directly by name, but cookie information may be considered personal information under some privacy laws.

17. Information We Do Not Intentionally Collect Through Cookies

Wearaxiom does not intentionally use ordinary website cookies to request unnecessary sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, full payment card numbers, account passwords, medical records, biometric data, or government identification numbers. Payment providers may independently process payment-related data necessary to complete transactions.

18. Cookie Consent

Where required by applicable law, Wearaxiom may request your consent before placing or activating certain non-essential cookies. Depending on the website configuration and applicable requirements, you may be given options to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, manage cookie preferences, or select specific cookie categories. Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are required to provide basic website functions.

19. How to Manage Cookies

You may be able to manage cookies through website cookie controls (where available), browser settings (most modern browsers allow viewing, deleting, blocking specific/third-party/all cookies, and clearing browsing data), or device settings (computer, smartphone, or tablet controls relating to tracking, advertising identifiers, privacy settings, and website data).

20. What Happens If You Disable Cookies?

Disabling cookies may affect website functionality, such as keeping products in your shopping cart, checkout, payment sessions, remembering preferences, account login, website navigation, and fraud-prevention features. You can generally disable optional cookies while still allowing cookies required for essential website functions.

21. Browser Privacy Features

Some browsers provide privacy tools designed to restrict tracking, such as blocking third-party cookies, enhanced tracking protection, private browsing, anti-tracking features, and cookie deletion on browser close. These tools operate independently from Wearaxiom.

22. Global Privacy Control and Similar Signals

Some browsers, extensions, or devices may transmit privacy preference signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC). Where applicable law requires us to recognize a valid privacy preference signal, we will seek to honor that signal in accordance with applicable requirements and available technology.

23. Do Not Track

Some browsers provide a "Do Not Track" setting. There is not one universally adopted technical standard governing all Do Not Track signals, so our website's response may depend on available technology and applicable legal requirements.

24. Cookie Duration

Cookie duration varies depending on the function of the cookie. Cookies may last only for the current browsing session, for several hours, for several days, for several months, or until a predefined expiration date. You may delete cookies manually through your browser settings at any time.

25. Cookies and Personal Information

Information collected through cookies may be combined with other information where reasonably necessary to maintain website functionality, provide customer support, prevent fraud, analyze website usage, improve services, measure advertising, and comply with applicable law. Personal information is handled according to our Privacy Policy.

26. Cookies and Orders

Cookies may support activities related to product selection, cart contents, checkout progress, payment processing, fraud detection, order attribution, and customer session management. Cookies are not used to change your confirmed purchase price after checkout.

27. Pricing and Checkout Transparency

Wearaxiom displays pricing information before customers complete a purchase. Our current standard transaction information includes product prices that include applicable tax, a standard shipping fee of $6.99 per order, and an additional standard handling fee of $0.00. Cookie technologies do not create undisclosed shipping or standard handling charges.

28. Third-Party Services

Depending on our website configuration, third-party technologies may support services such as website infrastructure, checkout, payment processing, shipping, analytics, marketing, fraud prevention, and customer communication. These third parties may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own policies.

29. Third-Party Payment Services

When you select an eligible payment method (such as Shop Pay, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Venmo, or card payment processors), the applicable payment provider may use its own cookies or technical tools, and use of those services may be subject to the provider's own privacy and cookie practices.

30. External Websites

Wearaxiom may contain links to third-party websites. If you follow an external link, the destination website may use its own cookies. Wearaxiom does not control cookie practices on websites that we do not operate, and you should review the applicable third-party cookie and privacy policies when visiting another website.

31. Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence and applicable law, you may have rights relating to information collected through cookies or similar technologies, including accessing certain personal information, requesting correction, requesting deletion, opting out of qualifying targeted advertising, opting out of qualifying sale or sharing, withdrawing consent where consent is required, and requesting information about certain data practices. Legal rights may be subject to applicable exemptions and verification requirements.

32. Connecticut Privacy Rights

Connecticut residents may have rights under applicable Connecticut privacy law, subject to statutory applicability and exemptions, including the ability to opt out of certain targeted advertising, sales of personal data, and profiling activities where applicable. Requests may be submitted through the contact information provided below.

33. California Privacy Rights

California residents may have additional rights under applicable California privacy law, including rights relating to access, correction, deletion, certain sales, certain sharing, cross-context behavioral advertising, and certain uses of sensitive personal information. Wearaxiom does not sell personal information for money, though some advertising or analytics technologies may fall within broader statutory definitions of "sale" or "sharing" where applicable.

34. Other U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of other U.S. states may have similar rights under state privacy laws where those laws apply to Wearaxiom and the relevant processing activity. Applicable rights vary by jurisdiction.

Do not send full card numbers, passwords, or unnecessary sensitive information by email.

36. Identity Verification

Certain privacy requests may require identity verification. We may request information reasonably necessary to identify your customer record, verify your identity, prevent unauthorized access, and protect customer information. We will not request more information than reasonably necessary for verification.

37. Data Security

Wearaxiom uses reasonable safeguards designed to protect information collected through our website, including secure website connections, access controls, session protection, fraud-prevention tools, and service-provider security measures. No website or online transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

38. Children

Wearaxiom is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly use cookies to intentionally create commercial profiles of children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact support@wearaxiom.com.

39. Data Retention

Information collected through cookies may be retained for different periods depending on cookie type, operational needs, analytics requirements, security requirements, legal obligations, and service-provider settings. We seek to retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for its applicable purpose.
