1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to help websites function properly, remember user preferences, understand how visitors interact with the site, and support various commercial activities.

In addition to cookies, similar technologies such as pixels, local storage, and web beacons may be used to achieve comparable purposes. In this policy, we refer to all such technologies collectively as "cookies."

2. Why Arc SportsCards Uses Cookies

Arc SportsCards uses cookies and similar technologies on arcsportscards.com to:

• Enable core website functionality, such as the shopping cart and checkout process
• Remember your preferences and settings
• Understand how visitors interact with our website
• Analyze traffic and site performance
• Improve the shopping experience for Pokémon collectors and enthusiasts
• Support marketing activities where applicable
• Help detect and prevent fraudulent activity

3. Types of Cookies We Use

The cookies used on arcsportscards.com generally fall into the following categories:

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for arcsportscards.com to function. Without them, features such as the shopping cart, checkout, and account authentication may not work correctly. Because these cookies are required for the site to operate, they cannot be selectively disabled without affecting site functionality.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enhance your browsing experience by remembering preferences and choices, such as saved information for future visits. These cookies help personalize your visit without requiring you to re-enter information on each session.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, and how users navigate through the site. This information helps Arc SportsCards understand user behavior in aggregate and improve the site over time.

3.4 Marketing Cookies

Where used, marketing cookies may help us evaluate the effectiveness of marketing activities and, in some cases, allow relevant messaging to be displayed on third-party platforms. Marketing cookies may be subject to your consent depending on applicable law.

4. Cookie Duration

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are typically used for essential functions like maintaining your cart during a shopping session.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them. They are typically used to remember preferences and support functionality across multiple visits.

The duration of specific cookies varies. Session cookies expire at the end of your browsing session, while persistent cookies may last from days to months, depending on their purpose.

5. Third-Party Services

Arc SportsCards may use third-party services on arcsportscards.com that may set their own cookies. These third-party services could include analytics providers, payment processors, e-commerce platform providers, marketing tools, and similar services that support the operation of our online store.

These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies governing their use of cookies. Arc SportsCards does not control these third-party cookies and encourages you to review the policies of any third-party services referenced or linked from our website.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies:

6.1 Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through browser settings. You can typically:

• View the cookies stored on your device
• Delete existing cookies
• Block cookies from specific websites
• Block all cookies
• Receive notifications before cookies are set

Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser. Please consult the help documentation for your specific browser for detailed instructions.

6.2 Impact of Disabling Cookies

Please note that if you disable or block certain cookies, some features of arcsportscards.com may not function correctly. In particular, disabling essential cookies may prevent the shopping cart, checkout, and account features from working properly.

6.3 Opt-Out Tools

Depending on your region and applicable law, you may have access to industry opt-out tools that allow you to manage certain types of cookies across multiple websites. Please consult available regional tools for more information.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal that transmits a preference not to be tracked. Because there is currently no industry consensus on how DNT signals should be interpreted, arcsportscards.com may not respond to DNT signals in a specific way. You can control cookies through your browser settings as described above.
