1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the owners of the site.
We use cookies and similar technologies (such as localStorage) to operate our Service securely and, with your consent, to understand how you use it.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable authentication, session management, and security features. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. No consent is required for essential cookies under GDPR.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information. Analytics cookies are only set after you provide explicit consent via our cookie banner. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and localStorage.

4. Managing Cookies
You can control your cookie preferences using the cookie banner that appears when you first visit our site. To change your preference later, click the "Cookie Settings" link in the site footer — this re-opens the consent banner so you can update your choice. Clearing your browser's localStorage and cookies for tribeblend.com also resets the banner on your next visit.
Most web browsers also allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your browser. Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent authentication and break core functionality.

5. Third-Party Services
The following third-party services may set cookies when you interact with our platform:
- Google Analytics — Usage analytics (only after consent). Google Privacy Policy
- Stripe Checkout — Payment processing. We do not embed Stripe.js or Stripe Elements on tribeblend.com, so Stripe does not set cookies on this site. When you proceed to checkout you are redirected to
checkout.stripe.com, where Stripe sets its own cookies (scoped to the stripe.com domain) for fraud prevention and session management. Those cookies are governed by Stripe's own policy. Stripe Privacy Policy
6. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
