This Cookie Policy explains how Lofted Spirits (“LS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on loftedspirits.com (the “Site”). This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional details about how we collect, use, and share information.
This Site is intended for users located in the United States and is not intended for users located in the European Union or European Economic Area. We use technical and operational measures intended to limit access from outside the United States where feasible. If you access the Site from outside the United States, please discontinue use.
By continuing to browse the Site, or by clicking “Accept All Cookies,” “Reject All Non-Essential Cookies,” or “Manage Preferences” where presented, you control our use of cookies and similar technologies as described below.
Material Updates: If we make material changes to this Cookie Policy – such as introducing new categories of cookies or materially changing how cookies are used – we may present an updated consent banner requesting renewed choices. Non-material changes (e.g., clarifications or formatting) will be reflected by updating the “Last Updated” date above.
1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We may also use similar technologies, including:
- Pixels, web beacons, and tags (to understand whether content is viewed or interacted with)
- Scripts and software development kits (SDKs) (to enable Site features and third-party services)
- Local storage technologies (to retain preferences and session information)
For purposes of this Cookie Policy, all of the above are referred to collectively as “Cookies.” These technologies may support Site operation, remember preferences (such as age-gate confirmation), analyze performance, enhance security, and support marketing activities.
2. Types of Cookies We May Use
The table below summarizes categories of Cookies that may be used on the Site. First-party cookies are set directly by us. Third-party cookies are set by service providers or partners subject to their own privacy practices.
| Category | Type | Purpose | Examples (e.g.) | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | First-party | Core Site functionality, security, age-gate | session_id, csrf_token | Session |
| Functional | First- or Third-party | Preferences and personalization | lang_pref, form_data | Varies |
| Analytics / Performance | Third-party | Usage statistics and Site improvements | _ga, _gid | Varies |
| Targeting / Advertising | Third-party | Advertising relevance and measurement | ad_id, conversion_tag | Varies |
Disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair Site access or functionality. Disabling other categories generally will not prevent Site access but may reduce personalization or advertising relevance.
3. Information Collected Through Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may collect information such as:
- IP address and approximate location (city/region level)
- Browser and device type, operating system
- Pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, and interaction data
- Age-gate interaction status (e.g., whether verification was completed during a session)
- Advertising interaction data (e.g., ad impressions or clicks)
We may use this information for Site operation, analytics, security and fraud prevention, age-gate enforcement, and marketing, as further described in our Privacy Policy.
Sensitive Personal Information: Approximate location derived from IP address may be considered sensitive personal information under certain U.S. state privacy laws. We do not use cookie-collected data to derive precise geolocation or to infer other sensitive personal information categories. If our practices change, we will update this Cookie Policy accordingly.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some Cookies may be set by third-party service providers, such as analytics providers or advertising partners, to help us understand Site usage or deliver advertising. These third parties are responsible for their own data practices under their respective privacy policies. We do not control third-party cookies once set.
Examples of third-party services that may be used include:
- Analytics providers (traffic measurement and performance analysis)
- Advertising and marketing partners (ad delivery, measurement, and relevance)
Additional providers may be added over time. We may update this section to reflect material changes.
5. Your Consent and Controls
5.1 Consent Banner
When you first visit the Site, a consent banner may allow you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage preferences. Your selection may be stored using a first-party mechanism so that your preferences can be respected on future visits. You may be able to change your preferences at any time through a “Cookie Settings” link in the Site footer, where available.
5.2 Global Privacy Control (GPC)
Some browsers or extensions transmit a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. Where supported, we intend to honor GPC signals as a request to opt out of certain forms of data sharing or targeted advertising, consistent with applicable U.S. state privacy laws. Implementation may vary depending on technical feasibility and third-party integrations.
5.3 Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) signal. Because there is no uniform industry standard for interpreting DNT signals, the Site does not currently respond to DNT signals. We instead rely on our consent banner and available preference controls.
5.4 Browser-Level Controls
You can block or delete cookies using your browser settings. Doing so may affect Site functionality.
6. Cookie Duration
Some cookies are session cookies, which expire when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or are deleted. Cookie duration varies depending on the category and provider. How long data derived from cookies is retained is described in our Privacy Policy or governed by third-party providers’ practices.
7. Children and Age-Gate
The Site is intended only for individuals of legal drinking age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 21. Age-gate cookies are used to manage access during a browsing session and do not store date-of-birth information. If we become aware that personal information has been collected from an individual under the applicable legal age, we will take steps to delete it.
8. U.S. State Privacy Rights
Residents of certain U.S. states may have rights regarding personal information collected through cookies, including rights to access, delete, correct, or opt out of certain uses such as targeted advertising. Where required by law, we provide mechanisms to exercise those rights, such as a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link or recognition of applicable browser-based signals.
Details about these rights and how to submit requests are provided in our Privacy Policy.
9. International Data Transfers
The Site is intended for U.S. users only. To the extent information collected through cookies is processed by third-party providers with operations outside the United States, such processing is governed by those providers’ privacy practices. We do not represent that the Site complies with non-U.S. data protection laws.
10. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. The “Last Updated” date indicates the most recent revision. Material changes may be accompanied by additional notice or updated consent mechanisms.
