Last updated: April 6, 2026

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, and understand how you use it.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies in the following categories:

Strictly Necessary

These cookies are essential for the Service to function. They cannot be disabled.

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Service. They are only set with your consent.

3. Consent

When you first visit JT Cut, a cookie banner asks for your consent. Non-essential cookies (analytics) are not set until you opt in — we default to denied.

Your consent choices:

  • Accept: Analytics cookies are enabled, helping us improve the Service.
  • Decline: Only strictly necessary cookies are used. The Service works fully without analytics cookies.

4. Managing Cookies

You can change your cookie preferences at any time:

  • Cookie banner: Click the cookie settings link in the footer to re-open the consent dialog.
  • Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. See your browser's help documentation.
  • Browser extensions: Tools like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger can manage cookies.

Note: Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Service from functioning correctly.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Google Analytics sets cookies on our behalf to measure site usage. Google processes this data under their own privacy policy. We have configured Google Analytics to:

  • Default to denied consent mode (no tracking without opt-in)
  • Respect your cookie preferences via Google Consent Mode v2

Stripe may set cookies during the checkout process for fraud prevention and payment security. These are strictly necessary for payment processing.

6. Your Rights

GDPR / ePrivacy (EU): Non-essential cookies require your prior opt-in consent. You can withdraw consent at any time.

CCPA/CPRA (California): If analytics cookies are used for tracking, you have the right to opt out. We do not sell data collected via cookies.

PIPEDA (Canada): We obtain implied consent for strictly necessary cookies and express consent for analytics cookies.

7. Data Retention for Cookies

  • Session cookies: Deleted when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies: Retained for the duration listed in the cookie table above.
  • Consent record: We retain a record of your consent choice for compliance purposes.
