Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember preferences, maintain sessions, improve performance, and provide information to website operators.

Cookies may be set directly by Minimum Stress, known as first-party cookies, or by third-party services used on the Platform, known as third-party cookies.

2. How We Use Cookies

Minimum Stress Consulting Services LLC (“Minimum Stress,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve our website, booking tools, digital content, e-commerce features, and related services, collectively referred to as the “Platform.”

Cookies help us recognize your device, remember your preferences, maintain your session, support secure checkout, process purchases and bookings, improve website performance, and understand how users interact with the Platform.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the Platform to function properly. They support core features such as account login, shopping cart functionality, checkout, payment processing, booking tools, fraud prevention, and security.

Without these cookies, parts of the Platform may not work correctly.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Platform, including pages visited, time spent on pages, site errors, traffic sources, and interaction patterns.

We may use tools such as Shopify analytics, Google Analytics, and similar technologies to improve performance, design, content, and user experience.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the Platform to remember choices you make, such as language preferences, region, login status, saved settings, or previous interactions.

These cookies help create a smoother and more personalized experience.

Marketing and Measurement Cookies

Where permitted, we may use cookies or pixels to measure marketing performance, understand engagement with email or advertising campaigns, and improve the relevance of content and recommendations.

These technologies may be provided by third-party platforms that operate under their own privacy and cookie policies.

4. Shopify and Third-Party Cookies

The Platform is hosted on Shopify, which uses cookies to provide core e-commerce functionality, including cart management, checkout, fraud prevention, payment processing, performance optimization, and security.

Third-party services such as payment processors, booking tools, analytics providers, email platforms, and embedded services may also set cookies when you interact with the Platform.

Minimum Stress does not directly control cookies set by third parties. These third parties may use cookies according to their own privacy and cookie policies.

5. Cookie Duration

Cookies may be session-based or persistent.

• Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them manually.

6. Your Cookie Choices

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, limit cookie use, or receive alerts before cookies are placed.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality and may limit your ability to use features such as account login, shopping cart, checkout, bookings, or saved preferences.

7. Do Not Track and Browser Signals

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signals. Because there is not yet a consistent industry standard for responding to all such signals, the Platform may not respond to every browser-based signal.

Where legally required or technically supported, we will honor applicable privacy preference signals.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, service providers, or Platform functionality.

Any updates will be effective when posted on the Platform with an updated “Last updated” date.
