Cookie and local storage policy

1. Current use

The store does not install advertising or profiling cookies. If the operator configures GA4, usage analytics loads only after you allow it and you may reject it. Sentry may receive minimized technical error and performance events; session replay is disabled.

2. Necessary cookies

• Clerk may use essential session cookies or tokens when you create an account or sign in.
• Stripe may use necessary technologies on its domain when sandbox checkout opens. Aether does not control those third-party cookies.

3. This site's storage

• Local: aether.locale and aether.theme.v1; cart identifier and products; favorites; and the legacy-data migration marker.
• Session: temporary cart token, chat identifier, and the assistant privacy acknowledgement. These normally disappear when the browser session closes.
• Notice: aether.cookieNotice.v1 remembers that you dismissed this message. If you allow GA4, aether.analyticsConsent.v1 stores that choice.

4. Controls

You may clear cookies and storage in browser settings. Doing so may sign you out or remove cart, favorites, language, theme, visible chat history, and analytics choice. Clearing aether.analyticsConsent.v1 withdraws consent for future GA4 loads. Essential features are not used for advertising.

5. Future changes

If additional analytics, non-essential personalization, or advertising is added, Aether will provide controls to accept or reject those categories before activation where required.
