Welcome to the Mylar Bag Depot Cookie Policy. This policy explains in plain, transparent language what cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), application programming interfaces (APIs), server log files, and other similar tracking technologies (collectively and individually referred to throughout this policy as "Cookies," "tracking technologies," or "technologies") are, how we and our carefully selected trusted third-party service providers, advertising partners, measurement platforms, and analytics vendors use these technologies on our websites, landing pages, e-commerce storefronts, mobile-optimized experiences, email communications, and other digital properties owned and operated by Mylar Bag Depot LLC ("Mylar Bag Depot," "we," "us," or "our"), the purposes for which we use each category of Cookies, how long Cookies typically remain stored on your device, and the rights, choices, and controls you have over Cookies, including how to accept, reject, disable, or delete them through your browser settings or our Cookie Preference Management Center.
This Cookie Policy forms an integral part of and should be read together and in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which sets out in greater detail how we collect, use, disclose, safeguard, and otherwise process personal information that we collect through Cookies and other technologies, as well as your statutory rights in relation to your personal information. Our Terms of Service also apply to your use of our website and digital properties. By continuing to access, browse, or use our website, by clicking "Accept All Cookies" or by closing or dismissing our cookie consent banner without making an opt-out selection, you agree, where legally required by applicable law, to our use of Cookies and other tracking technologies in accordance with the categories, purposes, durations, and partners described in this Cookie Policy, unless and until you have validly withdrawn your consent or have otherwise validly exercised your opt-out rights as described below.
If you have any questions, concerns, requests, or complaints regarding this Cookie Policy, our use of Cookies and similar tracking technologies, your privacy preferences, or how to exercise your choices and control Cookies, please contact our Data Protection team at:

Cookies are small, simple, lightweight text files that a website or its service provider stores and saves locally on your computing device (including your desktop computer, laptop, tablet PC, smartphone, wearable device, smart TV, or any other internet-connected device that includes a web browser) when you visit a website or interact with a web application. Cookies were originally designed to help websites remember useful information about you or your device and your interactions with the website in the past, so that they can provide you with a smoother, more personalized, and more efficient browsing experience on return visits. Cookies are widely used across essentially every major commercial website on the internet today and do not typically contain information that by itself personally identifies a specific individual, although they may be linked to other information we hold about you such as your account information, order history, or information you have voluntarily provided to us. Each cookie is generally associated with a specific domain name (the website that set it), and can only be read, accessed, or modified by the website that originally placed it, or by authorized partners acting on behalf of that domain. Cookies are commonly classified by their purpose, duration, and the entity that places them.
First-Party Cookies are set directly by the website domain that you are currently visiting — in this case, cookies set directly by Mylar Bag Depot through our own website infrastructure and our primary e-commerce platform. They are generally used to remember your core preferences and settings between page visits, such as items placed in your shopping cart, your login state, your chosen language, and your cookie consent preferences. Third-Party Cookies, by contrast, are set by domains and service providers other than the website you are currently visiting, including our trusted measurement partners, analytics platforms, advertising technology providers, social media platforms, embedded video players, review widgets, CDN providers, and payment processors. These third parties may use their own cookies to recognize your browser and device across different websites and apps over time, for purposes including conversion attribution, audience building, retargeting, ad delivery optimization, frequency capping, cross-device measurement, and market research.
Session Cookies are temporary cookies that are created and stored only in your browser's active memory and are automatically deleted permanently from your device the moment you close your web browser or end your browser session. They are used primarily to maintain continuity of your browsing session during a single visit to our website — for example, to remember the items you have placed in your shopping cart as you navigate from product pages to the checkout page. Persistent Cookies, on the other hand, remain stored on your device for a fixed, pre-determined period of time (which varies depending on the specific cookie, but typically ranges from a few hours to several months, a year, or occasionally longer) even after you close your browser, and are reactivated each time you visit the website that originally set them, until they either expire on their pre-determined expiration date or are manually deleted by you through your browser settings before that date. Persistent cookies are used for purposes such as remembering your login details, remembering your cookie consent preferences, remembering your language and regional settings, recognizing your device for return visit analytics, and building advertising audiences for future marketing campaigns.
In addition to standard text-based HTTP cookies, we and our authorized third-party partners may also use a number of functionally similar tracking technologies that operate in related or analogous ways to collect information about your browsing activity, visits, interactions, and device information, including the following:
The Cookies and similar tracking technologies used on our website have been categorized below, in accordance with general industry practice and applicable regulatory requirements (including the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR, the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, the California Privacy Rights Act, the Colorado Privacy Act, and the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act). In addition to the summary table below, each category is described in more detail in the subsections that follow, including examples of the specific service providers we use in each category. Please note that the specific cookies set, their exact names, their full attributes, and their retention periods may change over time as we update our website, change service providers, add or remove features, and optimize our marketing campaigns. We will update this Cookie Policy from time to time as required by applicable law to reflect any material changes to our use of Cookies. Where legally required by your jurisdiction, non-essential Cookies will only be set on your device after we have obtained your freely given, specific, informed, unambiguous, and revocable opt-in consent, which you may withdraw at any time using the methods described in Section 5.
Strictly Necessary Cookies (also called "Essential" or "Required" Cookies) are absolutely and fundamentally required for the website to operate and function correctly and to provide features and services you have explicitly requested. They are set in direct response to your actions and requests, such as logging into your account, adding items to your shopping cart, submitting checkout information, or requesting access to secure areas of the site. Because they are essential to the operation of the website, Strictly Necessary Cookies cannot be switched off or refused by you through our Cookie Preference Center, and we do not seek consent for them where such exception is permitted under applicable law (including, without limitation, the ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3) exception for cookies "strictly necessary for the provision of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user"). If you do use your browser settings to block these cookies, parts of the website will not function at all, or will fail to function as intended — for example, pages may not load, the shopping cart may not retain items between pages, you may not be able to proceed through checkout, and you may be logged out repeatedly. Examples of Strictly Necessary Cookies used on our website include:
Preference and Functionality Cookies enable our website to store and remember choices, preferences, and settings that you have previously selected or provided in order to provide enhanced, personalized, and convenient functionality on future visits. The information collected by these cookies is typically used to customize your user experience by remembering preferences such as your preferred display language, the currency you wish to view prices in, your country or region selector selection, your preferred display theme (light/dark mode), products you have previously viewed or added to your wish list, live chat state, or the state of partially completed product design work. These cookies are not strictly essential for the website to function at a basic level, but they significantly improve your browsing experience and user convenience. All cookies in this category will only be set on your device after we have obtained your explicit opt-in consent, where required by applicable law. If you choose to disable or opt out of this category, some convenience features may not function properly or may need to be manually re-selected on every visit.
Performance and Analytics Cookies allow us to measure, analyze, and understand how visitors and customers interact with and use our website, where they come from, how long they stay, what content and products are most popular, where pages are slow to load, where navigation errors and dead ends occur, and at what stages of the checkout funnel users tend to abandon. This information is extremely valuable to us because it helps us continuously improve the architecture, performance, user experience, content, product offering, and functionality of our website, diagnose technical problems, and evaluate the overall effectiveness of our website as a sales and information channel. The data collected by analytics cookies is typically aggregated and anonymized where possible (especially when aggregated across many thousands of visitors), such that no single individual visitor can reasonably be re-identified, although such data may still constitute "personal information" or "personal data" under certain broadly drafted statutes. Where legally required, these cookies will only be set after you have opted in. If you opt out of analytics cookies, we will not have your specific visit and interaction data included in our aggregate statistics, which is a perfectly acceptable option.
We currently use the following primary analytics providers on our website:
Advertising and Marketing Cookies (also referred to as targeting cookies, marketing cookies, or ad tech cookies) are used by us and by our authorized advertising and marketing partners to: (1) Deliver more relevant, personalized, and interest-based digital advertisements to you across the web, on social media platforms, and on apps, after you have visited our website or otherwise interacted with our brand online; (2) Measure, attribute, and report on the performance and return-on-investment of our paid advertising campaigns, including tracking which specific ad clicks, ad impressions, and channels ultimately lead to conversions such as purchases, quote requests, or email sign-ups on our website; (3) Build and segment custom and remarketing / retargeting audience lists based on pages visited, products viewed, cart activity, and customer status; (4) Generate "lookalike" or "similar" audiences of new prospective customers whose online characteristics statistically resemble those of our existing high-value customers; (5) Implement frequency capping to limit how many times you are shown the same advertisement over a given period; (6) Suppress the delivery of customer acquisition advertisements to people who are already existing paying customers; and (7) Track cross-device conversions and activity where possible to understand how users move between devices in the conversion journey.
Advertising Cookies, including those set by Google Ads, are of particular importance for our paid marketing activities, because we use Google Ads destination-based and conversion tracking to measure which ads are leading to actual purchases on our website, in compliance with Google Ads program policies. Our use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking works as follows: When a user clicks on one of our advertisements displayed on Google Search, Google Display Network, YouTube, or Google Shopping, Google Ads sets a conversion tracking cookie on the user's device. If that user subsequently completes qualifying actions on our website (such as completing a purchase, requesting a custom quote, or creating an account), the conversion cookie is used to attribute that conversion event back to the specific ad click, allowing us to measure advertising ROI, calculate cost per conversion, and optimize bids and creative targeting within the Google Ads platform. Information collected through this mechanism includes the Google Ads click ID (gclid), conversion type, conversion value (e.g., order total), transaction ID, and timestamp, all of which are transmitted to Google's servers. For more information about how Google uses advertising cookies and the choices you have to control personalized advertising on Google services, we strongly recommend that you review Google's Advertising Technologies Policy and visit the Google Ads Settings page, where you can opt out of personalized advertising at any time.
Current advertising partners setting cookies on our website may include, but are not necessarily limited to:
The following table summarizes the primary trusted third-party vendors and service providers who may set cookies or collect information through tracking technologies on our website, together with a link to each provider's own privacy policy and, where available, its cookie information page, so that you may obtain further information about their practices and exercise your opt-out preferences directly with the provider if you wish. Note that vendors on this list may be updated from time to time as we add new partners or discontinue use of existing ones. We work only with vendors who we believe maintain robust and industry-standard privacy and security practices, and we encourage you to consult each provider's published privacy documentation for the most up-to-date and accurate information about their data handling practices, retention periods, and applicable legal bases.
On some pages of our website, we may include embedded content, "like" buttons, "share" buttons, follow widgets, or other social media features that are operated by social media networks and other third-party content platforms, including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn. These embedded features and widgets may be implemented using JavaScript snippets, iframes, SDKs, and pixels that may permit those social platforms and content providers to set their own cookies and similar technologies on your browser and device even if you do not click on or otherwise interact with those features. These technologies may allow the relevant social media platform to recognize that you have visited our website, and potentially to link this visit with your account or profile on that platform, if you are currently logged in. The data processing activities conducted through such embedded features are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the respective social media platform operators, not by this Cookie Policy or our Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and cookie management tools of each social media platform that you use to understand their practices and to configure your preferences accordingly. If you wish to prevent this type of cross-site recognition altogether, we recommend that you log out of all social media accounts before visiting our website, configure appropriate third-party cookie and tracker blocking through your browser's privacy settings, or use the Global Privacy Control signal described below.
We are committed to providing you with meaningful, transparent, and actionable choices and controls over Cookies. Depending on your jurisdiction of residence and the applicable privacy laws that apply to you, you may have a number of rights with respect to our use of Cookies and similar tracking technologies, as described in this Section 5. These rights are separate and in addition to any rights you may have with respect to personal information more generally, which are described in our Privacy Policy. Where this Cookie Policy refers to "consent," it applies to the extent that consent is the applicable legal basis for the relevant processing activity under the laws of your jurisdiction (for example, for users located in the European Union, European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and certain other jurisdictions, the placement of non-essential cookies requires your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous opt-in consent, which you may withdraw at any time, as effective as for future processing, using the same means by which consent was originally given). For users in jurisdictions where opt-out is the applicable standard (for example, under US state privacy laws such as the CCPA/CPRA and the Colorado Privacy Act), the choices described below apply as valid opt-out mechanisms, where legally required, for the sale or sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes.
When you first visit our website from a jurisdiction where consent-based cookie management is required, you will be presented with a clearly visible, non-deceptive cookie consent banner or pop-up that explains the categories of cookies we use, their purposes, and asks for your explicit consent to set non-essential cookie categories. This banner will include links to this Cookie Policy and to our full Preference Management Center, where you can view more detailed information about each category and each individual vendor, and selectively enable or disable entire categories of cookies or individual third-party vendors on a granular, per-vendor basis. Your consent decisions will be stored in the first-party cookie preference cookie (Category 1, Strictly Necessary) so that they are remembered on future visits. You may change or withdraw your consent decisions, or re-open the Preference Management Center to adjust your preferences, at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" or "Cookie Preferences" floating button or link available in the footer of every page of the website. Any withdrawal of consent will apply to future processing only, and will not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted on the basis of consent before withdrawal.
Virtually all modern commercial web browsers (including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Opera, Arc, and DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser) provide built-in settings that allow you to control, accept, block, restrict, delete, and otherwise manage cookies and similar storage technologies directly at the browser or device level, independently of the website's own consent tools. These controls vary in granularity from browser to browser, but generally allow you to:
Because each browser implements these settings slightly differently, and user interfaces change from version to version, we recommend that you consult your browser's official help, support, or documentation pages for the most current and accurate instructions on how to configure these controls. Please note that if you choose to use browser settings to block or restrict all cookies, including Strictly Necessary Cookies, you may not be able to access all parts of our website, and certain features (including login, shopping cart, and checkout) may not work correctly or at all. In addition, changing or resetting your cookie settings in your browser, deleting cookies manually, clearing your cache, or upgrading your browser version may in some cases reset previously saved cookie consent preferences, requiring you to re-express your preferences on your next visit.
In addition to browser-level controls and our own Cookie Preference Center, there are a number of independent, non-profit, industry-developed opt-out tools and platforms that you can use to opt out of participation in interest-based advertising programs across multiple participating companies at once, in a single place, without having to configure preferences individually with each advertiser. These tools are developed and operated by self-regulatory bodies and industry associations, and rely on opt-out cookies to remember your opt-out status across partner networks. If you are interested in using these tools, we recommend visiting the following opt-out platforms directly:
Please note that these industry opt-out tools, like other cookie-based mechanisms, require that opt-out cookies be set and retained in your browser in order to function. If you later delete cookies, change browsers, reset browser settings, or use a different device or browser profile, your opt-out preferences set through these industry tools will need to be re-configured on your next visit. Similarly, opting out through these tools applies only to the participating companies registered on the relevant platform; it does not necessarily opt you out of all advertising by all companies, nor does it prevent all cookies from being set. You may continue to receive generic, non-personalized, non-targeted advertising after using these tools.
Google provides a dedicated browser add-on for permanently opting out of Google Analytics measurement across all websites, available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Both Google and Meta also provide centralized Ads Settings management tools where you can directly opt out of personalized advertising across all their services, and view and manage the interest-based audience segments that have been associated with your advertising identifiers:
For users of Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac) running iOS 14.5+ or macOS 11.3+, Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework requires apps to obtain explicit permission before tracking users or accessing their device's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA). If you browse our website using Safari on an Apple device, Apple's Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) is enabled by default and actively limits third-party tracking cookie lifespans and cross-site tracking capabilities. On Android devices, users may reset or disable their Google Advertising ID through the device Settings > Privacy > Ads menu.
Global Privacy Control (GPC) is an emerging, industry-standard browser signal that, when enabled in your browser (e.g., Brave, DuckDuckGo, or via the official extension in Chrome or Firefox), communicates a universal opt-out signal to websites you visit, indicating that you do not want your personal information to be sold or shared for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes, as provided for under US state laws including the California Privacy Rights Act and the Colorado Privacy Act. We recognize the GPC signal as a valid opt-out request for any processing activity legally requiring recognition, to the extent required by applicable law. To learn more about Global Privacy Control or to enable it in your browser, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.
To the extent that information collected through Cookies constitutes personal data or personal information under the GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, PIPEDA, VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA, UCPA, or any other applicable privacy statute, you may exercise statutory rights (including rights of access, rectification, erasure, data portability, restriction of processing, objection to processing, and non-discrimination, where applicable) by following the procedures set out in our full Privacy Policy in the section titled "Your Privacy Rights and Choices," or by contacting our Data Protection team directly at privacy@mylarbagdepot.com. We will respond to all valid, verifiable requests within the timeframes required by applicable law and, where appropriate, will work with our service providers to ensure that any rights exercise is properly fulfilled end-to-end in accordance with our legal obligations.
Our website, products, and services are not directed to children or minors, nor are they designed or intended for use by anyone under the age of 16 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction if higher). We do not knowingly or intentionally set marketing, analytics, or advertising cookies on the browsers of children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect, process, or disclose personal information from children under the age of 16 through our website or cookies. If you are a parent or legal guardian and have reason to believe that a child under the age of 16 has provided us with personal information, consented to cookies, or interacted with our website in a way that has resulted in the collection of their information, please notify us immediately at privacy@mylarbagdepot.com and we will take commercially reasonable steps to permanently delete any such information from our systems and those of our service providers within a reasonable timeframe and in compliance with applicable laws.
Many of the Cookies and tracking technologies described in this policy result in the collection, transmission, storage, and processing of information by third-party service providers who are headquartered in, and who operate server infrastructure located in, jurisdictions outside of the country or region in which you are physically located — most commonly the United States. For example, Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Platforms technologies, Shopify, Stripe, PayPal, Cloudflare, and most of our other major partners store and process at least some information in the United States. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or any other jurisdiction that imposes restrictions on cross-border transfers of personal data to countries without an adequacy decision, we rely on one or more of the following recognized legal transfer mechanisms, as applicable, in respect of any transfers of personal data to third parties: (a) European Commission Adequacy Decisions (in respect of countries that have received an adequacy finding); (b) Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission (Commission Implementing Decisions (EU) 2021/914 and (EU) 2024/1927 as updated from time to time) together with, where required, appropriate supplementary technical and organizational measures to ensure an essentially equivalent level of protection for personal data; (c) the United Kingdom International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (the "UK IDTA") together with the UK Transfer Risk Assessment, as applicable; (d) Binding Corporate Rules approved by competent data protection supervisory authorities where applicable; or (e) any other valid transfer mechanism permitted under applicable law. Copies of applicable Standard Contractual Clauses may be obtained on request by writing to our Data Protection team at the contact details in Section 8 below, to the extent required by applicable law.
We may from time to time update, amend, revise, supplement, or restate this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to our use of Cookies and tracking technologies, the addition or removal of service providers or cookie categories, changes to our website features or advertising practices, regulatory or judicial guidance, or other legal, operational, technical, or business reasons. When we make material changes to this Cookie Policy that materially alter the scope, categories, or purposes of Cookie use or impact your rights and choices, we will provide appropriate notice to you by posting the updated version of this policy on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date displayed prominently at the top, and — where required by applicable law — we will present the updated cookie consent banner again to obtain fresh consent to revised or new categories of non-essential Cookies, or provide other legally required notification mechanisms. Your continued use of our website after the effective date of any material update to this Cookie Policy, or your express re-consent where sought, constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically, and especially the "Last Updated" date at the top, to stay informed about our current practices.
If you have any questions, concerns, complaints, or requests regarding this Cookie Policy, our use of Cookies and similar tracking technologies, how to manage or exercise your cookie choices, the handling of personal data obtained through Cookies, or anything relating to our privacy practices, please direct your written communication to our Data Protection team via any of the following channels. We take privacy and cookie compliance seriously and respond substantively to all legitimate inquiries within the timeframes prescribed by applicable law.
