This Cookies Policy explains how Solar Blaster LLC ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on solarblasterfans.com (the "Site"). Our Site is powered by Shopify, which places some cookies on our behalf to keep the store running properly.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file that is downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites remember your actions and preferences — such as items in your cart or your region — so you don't have to re-enter that information every time you visit or navigate between pages.
Types of Cookies We Use
1. Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the Site to function. Without them, core features like the shopping cart, checkout, and secure login would not work. These cookies do not require your consent.

2. Analytics / Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our Site — for example, which pages are most popular and where visitors come from. This information helps us improve the Site and your shopping experience. These cookies collect information in aggregate and do not identify you personally.

We also use Google Analytics, a third-party service provided by Google LLC, to measure how visitors interact with our Site. Google Analytics uses its own cookies to collect usage data. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
3. Marketing / Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set if we run advertising campaigns (for example, through Google Ads or Meta/Facebook). They help us measure the effectiveness of our ads and ensure you don't see the same ad repeatedly. We currently use the following marketing cookie placed by Shopify's platform:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _shopify_marketing | Stores marketing data related to the storefront and checkout. | 1 year |
If we add additional advertising tools (such as Meta Pixel or Google Ads tags), we will update this policy accordingly.

Third-Party Cookies
Our Site is hosted by Shopify and may use cookies placed by Shopify's infrastructure and service partners, including:
- Cloudflare — used for edge routing and site security. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
- Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager — used for analytics. See Google's Privacy Policy.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
How Long Do Cookies Stay on My Device?
Cookies are either session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them). The expiration times for each cookie are listed in the tables above. Most of our cookies expire between 30 minutes and 1 year from when they are set.
How to Control or Disable Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or receive alerts about cookies. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our Site — for example, items may not be saved in your cart.
