This Cookie policy explains how Signs of Metal uses cookies and similar technologies so you can browse house numbers, nameplates, and outdoor wall signs, keep items in your cart, check out securely, and — when analytics are enabled — help us understand how the shop is used.
What cookies are
Cookies are small files stored on your device by the browser. Some last only for your browsing session; others stay longer so the store can remember a cart, keep you signed in, or recognize a return visit. Related tools such as local storage or pixels may work the same way for checkout, payments, or analytics.
Essential cookies
These are required for the shop to work. Without them, cart, checkout, account login, and security checks can break. Typical examples include:
- Cart and session cookies so your size, finish, and personalization stay with the order as you move through the site.
- Login cookies when you sign in to My Account.
- Cookies that help protect forms and checkout from abuse.
Functional cookies
Some cookies remember helpful choices — for example keeping your cart while you compare house numbers and nameplates, or restoring a session if you return to finish checkout. They support running the store; they are not used to sell your personal information.
Analytics & marketing (if enabled)
If we turn on analytics or advertising tools, they may set additional cookies to measure traffic, popular products, or campaign performance. You can often limit these through browser settings or any consent banner we display. Turning off analytics cookies does not remove the essential cart and checkout cookies the shop needs.
Payments
PayPal may set its own cookies when you pay (including card payments through PayPal). Those cookies follow PayPal’s policies in addition to ours. We never store your full card number.
How to control cookies
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their privacy settings. If you block all cookies, parts of Signs of Metal — especially cart and checkout — may not work. Clearing cookies can empty your cart or sign you out of My Account.
Updates
We may update this page when we add tools or change how the shop works. The current version will always be posted here.
