Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026
1. 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 more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
2. How We Use Cookies
Buy Less Crap is a simple, content-focused website. We keep things minimal — we do not use advertising cookies, marketing trackers, or third-party analytics scripts that follow you around the web.
We only use cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function, plus optional analytics cookies that help us understand how people find and use the site — but only if you consent.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms.
- Cookie consent preference — remembers whether you accepted or declined cookies so we don't ask you again.
- Form submission cookie — set temporarily when you submit a form to prevent spam and bot submissions.
Analytics Cookies (Optional)
We may use a privacy-friendly analytics tool that does not track you across other websites or build a personal profile. These cookies help us understand how many people visit, which pages are popular, and how people find the site — but only if you opt in.
No personal data is collected. IP addresses are anonymised. The data is not shared with advertisers or third-party networks.
4. Third-Party Cookies
This site may include embedded content or links to third-party services. If you follow a link to Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), or other external platforms, those sites may set their own cookies. We have no control over third-party cookies — please review their cookie policies directly:
5. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Check your browser's help section for instructions.
- Our cookie banner — when you first visit, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies.
- Opt out of analytics — if we use a privacy-focused analytics tool, you can opt out at any time by clearing your cookies and declining analytics when the banner reappears.
Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the website functions.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
