1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your browser, computer, phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites remember information about your visit, such as login status, shopping-cart contents, age-gate confirmation, preferences, security settings and website usage.

This policy also applies to similar technologies, including pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, session storage, software development kits and tracking technologies.

2. Why we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Operate the Sites.
• Keep the shopping cart and checkout working.
• Remember age-verification and research-use acknowledgements.
• Maintain login sessions and account security.
• Process orders and payments.
• Prevent fraud, abuse and unauthorized activity.
• Remember user preferences.
• Understand website performance.
• Improve website design, functionality and customer experience.
• Provide customer support tools, including live chat or chatbot functionality.
• Measure marketing performance where legally permitted.
• Comply with legal, security and ecommerce requirements.

3. Types of cookies we use

A. Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the Sites to function. They support core website features such as:

• Shopping cart.
• Checkout.
• Account login.
• Payment processing.
• Security.
• Fraud prevention.
• Age-gate functionality.
• Research-use acknowledgement.

You cannot disable strictly necessary cookies through our cookie banner because the website may not function properly without them. You may block them in your browser, but parts of the Sites may stop working.

Examples may include cookies from:

• WordPress.
• WooCommerce.
• Age Gate.
• Payment processors.
• Security tools.
• Consent-management tools.

B. Functional cookies

Functional cookies help the Sites remember settings and preferences, such as:

• Language.
• Display preferences.
• Previously selected options.
• Chat-widget settings.

These cookies improve convenience but may not be strictly required.

C. Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Sites. They may collect information such as:

• Pages viewed.
• Time on site.
• Referring website.
• Browser type.
• Device type.
• General location.
• Clicks and interactions.
• Site errors and performance issues.

We may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Jetpack analytics, WordPress.com analytics or similar tools if enabled.

D. Marketing and advertising cookies

Marketing cookies may help measure advertising performance or show relevant content across websites. These may include pixels, tags or similar technologies from advertising platforms.

These cookies may be considered “sharing” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under certain privacy laws if they are used to track activity across websites. Where required, we provide opt-out options.

Examples may include cookies or pixels from:

• Google.
• Meta/Facebook.
• TikTok.
• Email/SMS marketing platforms.
• GoHighLevel or LeadConnector.
• Affiliate or advertising platforms.

E. Customer support and chat cookies

If chat, chatbot or customer-support tools are enabled, those tools may use cookies or similar technologies to:

• Display the chat widget.
• Remember conversation history.
• Route messages.
• Identify returning visitors.
• Help respond to support requests.

These tools may be operated by third-party providers such as Opis AI, GoHighLevel, LeadConnector or similar service providers.

F. Payment and fraud-prevention cookies

Payment processors and fraud-prevention providers may use cookies or similar technologies to:

• Process payments.
• Detect fraudulent transactions.
• Verify payment security.
• Prevent abuse.

These technologies may be provided by PayPal, Stripe, Airwallex, Mercado Pago, Klarna, Afterpay, Square, Cash App Pay, Apple Pay, or other payment-related providers if enabled.

4. Cookies we may use

Before publishing, use a cookie scanner to confirm the exact names. For now, use this table as a working structure:

5. Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be placed by third-party service providers that help us operate the Sites. These providers may include hosting providers, payment processors, analytics providers, customer-support platforms, marketing platforms, fraud-prevention services and shipping or fulfillment tools.

Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy policies. We do not control all third-party cookies once they are placed by those providers.

6. Cookie consent

Where required by law, we will request consent before placing nonessential cookies, including analytics, advertising or certain functional cookies.

Consent must be given by a clear action, such as clicking an “Accept” button, selecting cookie preferences or enabling specific categories. Continuing to browse the website by itself should not be treated as consent for nonessential cookies.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by using the cookie banner or cookie settings link on the Sites, if available.

7. California privacy rights and “Do Not Sell or Share”

Depending on the technologies enabled on the Sites, certain analytics or advertising cookies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under California privacy law.

California residents may have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. This may include cross-context behavioral advertising. California guidance also recognizes Global Privacy Control as a method for submitting opt-out requests where applicable.

To submit an opt-out request, you may:

Email: privacy@be8.us

If our Sites use advertising cookies, we will also provide a clear “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link or cookie-preference mechanism where legally required.

8. Global Privacy Control

Global Privacy Control, or GPC, is a browser or extension setting that sends a privacy signal to websites. The signal is intended to communicate a request not to sell or share personal information, including for certain targeted advertising purposes.

Where legally required and technically feasible, we will treat GPC signals as a valid opt-out request for the browser or device sending the signal.

9. How to manage cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways:

Browser settings

Most browsers let you block, delete or control cookies. If you block all cookies, parts of the Sites may not work, including cart, checkout, account login, payment processing and age verification.

Cookie banner

If a cookie banner is active, you can use it to accept, reject or customize nonessential cookies.

Device settings

Mobile devices may allow additional privacy choices, such as limiting ad tracking or resetting advertising identifiers.

Platform opt-outs

Some advertising and analytics providers offer their own opt-out tools. These tools are controlled by the provider, not Nostradama, Inc.

10. Retention

Cookie retention varies. Some cookies expire when you close your browser. Others remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier.

We aim to keep cookies only as long as reasonably necessary for their purpose, including website operation, security, legal compliance, analytics, fraud prevention and user preference management.

11. Updates to this Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy when:

• We add or remove cookies.
• We change service providers.
• We add analytics, advertising, chat or payment tools.
• Legal requirements change.
• Website functionality changes.

The updated version will be posted with a new effective date.
