Cookie Policy
Last updated: November 5, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies Aerthom (aerthom.com) uses, and how you control them. It is part of our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Local storage and session storage do the same job without being sent to our server. Session storage is cleared when you close the tab.
How we ask
Strictly necessary cookies run for everyone, because the store cannot work without them. If you are in the US, analytics and advertising cookies run from your first page unless you opt out (Opt out in the cookie banner, the Your privacy choices button at the bottom of any page, or Global Privacy Control); session recording waits for your Accept. Everywhere else they load only after you click Accept in our cookie banner, and while your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, advertising cookies stay off even after you accept.

Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights measure page views and page speed for every visit without setting any cookie or storing anything in your browser.
Cookie lifetimes for Google, Meta, Microsoft and Stripe are those the vendors publish; each vendor can change them.
Changing your choice
- Click Your privacy choices (Cookie settings outside the US) at the bottom of any page to reopen the banner. Opting out, or choosing Reject after an Accept, stops the tags and clears the ad click IDs and Meta cookie IDs we stored with your visit. Cookies the vendors already set stay in your browser until they expire or you delete them.
- Turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser to opt out (in the US) or keep advertising cookies off (elsewhere).
- Block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies stops the cart and checkout from working.
- Opt out of ad targeting: Google Analytics opt-out add-on, Google My Ad Center, Meta Ad Preferences, Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out (aboutads.info/choices), Network Advertising Initiative opt-out, Your Online Choices (Europe).
If you are in the US and have not opted out, or elsewhere with your Accept, we use pixels, web beacons and similar storage technologies from third parties, including Meta and Google, to collect or receive information from our store and elsewhere on the internet. Those third parties use that information to provide measurement services and to target and deliver ads. To opt out of ad targeting, use Your privacy choices (Cookie settings outside the US) or the links in our Cookie Policy.
Google uses first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as Google advertising cookies) together to measure and report on our ads.
Microsoft collects or receives personal data through Microsoft Clarity, which it also uses to provide Microsoft Advertising and to improve its products. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
