Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
ProPrintMart is owned and operated by Silver Printer LLC. This document explains what small data files are, how ProPrintMart uses them and similar tracking technologies on our website, and what choices you have regarding their use. These files play an important role in helping us provide you with a functional, secure, and personalized shopping experience. The text on this page should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.
2. What Are These Files
A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and items in your shopping cart. Such files are widely used across the internet to make sites function properly and to give website operators useful information about how their pages are being used.
There are two main types based on lifespan. Session files are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. Persistent files remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. There are also two types based on origin: first-party data is set by the site you are visiting (in this case, ProPrintMart), while third-party data is set by external services that have content or functionality embedded on our pages.
3. Categories We Use
a) Strictly Necessary
These files are essential for the basic operation of our website. Without them, core functionality such as maintaining your shopping cart contents, processing secure login sessions, and protecting against cross-site request forgery would not work. Strictly necessary entries cannot be disabled without significantly affecting your ability to use our site. They do not collect any personal information for marketing or analytics purposes — they exist solely to enable the fundamental features you expect from an e-commerce store.
b) Functional Preferences
Functional entries remember your preferences and choices to provide an enhanced, more personalized browsing experience. For example, they may remember your language preference, your region, recently viewed products, and other settings you have configured during previous visits. These can be disabled through your browser settings or our preference center, but doing so may result in a less personalized experience — for instance, the site may not remember your preferences between visits.
c) Analytics and Performance
Analytics tags help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting aggregated, anonymous data about page visits, traffic sources, popular products, and user navigation patterns. This information allows us to identify areas of our pages that need improvement, optimize load times, and create a better overall experience for all visitors. The data collected is aggregated and does not personally identify individual users. You can opt out of analytics tracking through our preference center.
d) Marketing and Advertising
Marketing pixels are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to your interests and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns across different platforms. They track your browsing activity across sites to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites you visit. You can disable marketing trackers through our preference center — this will not stop you from seeing advertisements entirely, but the ads you see will be less relevant to your browsing history and interests.
4. Third-Party Trackers
Some of the trackers on our website are placed by third-party services that we use to operate and improve our pages. These external services are governed by the privacy notices and terms of service of the respective third-party providers, not by this document. We do not control the behavior of third-party trackers, but we only partner with reputable service providers who maintain appropriate privacy and security practices. Third-party services that may place trackers on our pages include payment processing providers, analytics services, and advertising platforms.
5. How to Manage Your Settings
a) Our Consent Banner
When you first visit our website, you will see a consent banner that gives you the option to accept all categories, manage your preferences by category, or decline non-essential trackers. Your choice is saved and applied to all subsequent pages you visit during your session and on future visits. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the settings link in our website footer.
b) Browser Settings
You can also control these files through your web browser's settings. Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete entries from specific sites or block them entirely. Please note that disabling everything — including strictly necessary items — may prevent certain features of our site from functioning properly, such as your shopping cart and login functionality. For instructions on managing site data in your specific browser, please refer to your browser's help or support section.
c) Opt-Out of Analytics
If you prefer not to have your browsing activity tracked for analytics purposes, you can opt out through our preference center. When you opt out, no analytics data will be collected from your device during your visits to our pages.
d) Opt-Out of Marketing
You may opt out of interest-based advertising by disabling marketing trackers through our preference center. This will prevent marketing tracking from our site, although you may still see generic advertisements on other platforms.
6. Do Not Track
Some web browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals to websites when enabled by the user. Our site recognizes and honors DNT signals as well as Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. When we detect a GPC or DNT signal from your browser, we automatically limit data collection to strictly necessary items only and do not load analytics or marketing tracking technologies. We respect user preferences expressed through these browser-level privacy controls.
7. Retention Periods
| Category | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Session (deleted when browser closes) |
| Functional | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Up to 24 months |
| Marketing | Up to 12 months |
8. Updates to This Document
We may update the text on this page from time to time as technologies change, regulations evolve, or we modify our use of tracking tools. When we make changes, the revised text will be posted here with a new "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review the page periodically to stay informed. Your continued use of our website after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
