Necessary cookies and storage
Necessary cookies and local storage help keep the site working. They may support authentication, security, sessions, saved guest packages, wishlists, price alerts, compare trays, recent searches, and route preferences.
Authentication and session cookies
When you create an account or log in, ApplianceIQ and its authentication providers may use cookies or similar technologies to keep you signed in, protect your account, complete OAuth flows, and sync saved shopping data.
Preference storage
- Language preference.
- Postal/ZIP and country preference.
- Recent searches and category shortcuts.
- Dismissed prompts, guest-save prompts, and UI preferences.
- My Package, wishlist, compare, and alert fallback data for guests.
Analytics cookies
ApplianceIQ may use analytics tools to understand page performance, product journeys, errors, search behavior, feature usage, and conversion paths. Analytics should be configured to respect applicable consent and privacy requirements.
Affiliate and referral tracking
When users click outbound store links, future affiliate or referral tracking may help attribute clicks, store visits, or qualifying purchases. This supports ApplianceIQ monetization and should be disclosed where required.
Future advertising cookies
ApplianceIQ may later use advertising or remarketing cookies only with appropriate disclosure, consent where required, and controls. A consent banner and preference center should be added before enabling non-essential advertising cookies.
Managing cookies
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies or storage may cause account login, My Package, wishlist, price alerts, recent searches, and language/location preferences to stop working correctly.
Consent for non-essential cookies
Non-essential analytics, advertising, remarketing, or similar cookies should not be enabled without appropriate notice and consent where required. ApplianceIQ should provide reasonable controls for users to manage optional cookies when those tools are enabled.
