Last modified: March 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Grovetracks LLC ("Company," "we," or "us") uses cookies and similar storage technologies on grovetracks.com (the "Website").
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the website owner. We also use other browser storage technologies (localStorage, sessionStorage) for similar purposes.
How We Use Cookies and Storage
We use cookies and browser storage for two categories of purposes: essential functionality and analytics.
Essential Cookies and Storage
These are necessary for the Website to function and cannot be switched off:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
gt_age_gate | Cookie | Prevents re-entry after a failed age verification check | 24 hours |
| Cognito tokens | Cookie / localStorage | Authentication session management via Amazon Cognito | Session / per Cognito policy |
gt-sso-popup | localStorage | Coordinates social sign-in popup window (transient) | Cleared after use |
gt_return_url | sessionStorage | Stores the URL to redirect to after authentication | Session |
gt_registration_dob | sessionStorage | Transfers date of birth to the profile completion step | Session |
gt_cookie_consent | localStorage | Stores your cookie preference (all or essential) | Persistent |
Analytics Cookies (Optional — Requires Consent)
If you consent to analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use the Website:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Cookie | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users | 2 years |
_gid | Cookie | Google Analytics — distinguishes users within a 24-hour period | 24 hours |
_gat | Cookie | Google Analytics — throttles request rate | 1 minute |
We do not use advertising, remarketing, or tracking cookies. Grovetracks does not display ads and does not share data with advertising networks.
Your Choices
When you first visit the Website, a cookie banner will appear with two options:
- Accept All: Enables both essential and analytics cookies. Google Analytics will be loaded to help us understand usage patterns.
- Essential Only: Only essential cookies and storage are used. No analytics data is collected.
Your preference is stored in gt_cookie_consent in localStorage. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage for grovetracks.com and refreshing the page, which will re-display the cookie banner.
Third-Party Cookies
The only third-party cookies on this Website are Google Analytics cookies (if you consent). We do not allow any other third parties to set cookies on the Website.
Stripe, our payment processor, may use its own cookies when you interact with the Stripe payment interface. Stripe's use of cookies is governed by Stripe's own privacy policy.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes are effective immediately when posted. Continued use of the Website constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
