Cookies help us operate the Website, provide ecommerce functionality, remember preferences, maintain security, understand how visitors use the Website, and improve the overall Website experience.
By using the Website, cookies that are strictly necessary for Website operation may be placed on your device. Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies will be used according to the privacy and cookie preferences you select.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies allow websites to recognize a browser or device and may store information about your visit. Depending on their purpose, cookies can help websites remember preferences, maintain login sessions, preserve shopping cart contents, provide security, measure Website performance, and support other functionality.
2. How We Use Cookies
Whidden Gunworks may use cookies and similar technologies to operate and secure the Website, provide shopping and checkout functionality, remember user preferences, maintain account sessions, prevent fraud and abuse, analyze Website traffic, diagnose technical problems, and improve our Website and services.
The specific cookies used on the Website may change as Website functionality, software, plugins, ecommerce systems, analytics services, security systems, and other technologies are updated.
3. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the Website to operate properly or to provide a service requested by you.
These cookies may support Website security, shopping carts, checkout functionality, customer accounts, login sessions, fraud prevention, load balancing, privacy preferences, and other essential Website functions.
Because these cookies are required for Website operation or to provide requested services, they generally cannot be disabled through our Website privacy controls.
4. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices or preferences and may provide enhanced Website functionality.
For example, these cookies may remember certain Website settings or selections so that you do not need to enter or select them again during future visits.
Disabling functional cookies may cause certain Website features to operate differently or become unavailable.
5. Analytics and Performance Cookies
Whidden Gunworks may use analytics and performance cookies to better understand how visitors use the Website and how the Website performs.
These technologies may collect information about Website visits, pages viewed, time spent on pages, referring websites, browser and device information, approximate geographic information derived from an IP address, and interactions with Website features.
This information may be used to identify technical problems, understand Website traffic, determine which content is useful to visitors, and improve Website performance and usability.
Where required by applicable law, analytics and performance cookies will be used according to your cookie preferences.
6. Advertising and Marketing Cookies
The Website may use advertising or marketing cookies or similar technologies to measure advertising effectiveness, understand how visitors reach the Website, or support marketing activities.

Where required by applicable law, advertising and marketing cookies will be used according to your privacy preferences.
7. Ecommerce and Shopping Cart Cookies
Because Whidden Gunworks operates an ecommerce Website, cookies may be necessary to provide shopping functionality.
These cookies may remember products placed in your shopping cart, maintain your cart while you browse different pages, support checkout, maintain account sessions, and help ensure that ecommerce transactions function correctly.
Many ecommerce cookies are considered essential because the Website cannot provide requested shopping functionality without them.
8. Account and Login Cookies
If you create or access a customer account, the Website may use cookies to recognize your login session and maintain account functionality.
These cookies can help prevent you from having to repeatedly sign in while navigating between Website pages and may also contribute to account security.
You should always log out when using a shared or public computer or device.
9. Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Whidden Gunworks and its service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to help protect the Website, customer accounts, orders, and transactions from unauthorized activity, fraud, automated attacks, malicious traffic, and other security threats.
Security-related technologies may process information about a device, browser, IP address, Website requests, login attempts, or other activity to identify potentially suspicious behavior.
Security cookies and technologies that are necessary to protect the Website and its users may be considered essential.
10. Payment Processing
When you make a purchase, third-party payment processors may use cookies or similar technologies necessary to securely process the transaction, verify payment information, prevent fraud, and comply with applicable financial and security requirements.
Payment providers operate according to their own privacy policies, security practices, and terms.
11. Third-Party Cookies

The Website may use both session cookies and persistent cookies.

17. Browser-Based Privacy Signals
Certain browsers, extensions, and devices may provide signals designed to communicate a user's privacy preferences to websites.
Whidden Gunworks will recognize and respond to browser-based privacy signals where required by applicable law and where the Website technology supports the applicable signal.
Because privacy technologies and legal requirements continue to develop, the Website's response to these signals may change over time.
18. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on the type of cookie and the service that placed it.
Some cookies expire when you close your browser, while others may remain for a longer period so that preferences, sessions, analytics information, or other functionality can be maintained.
You may generally delete stored cookies at any time using your browser settings.
