Cookie Policy

Charles G.G. Schmidt & Co., Inc.

Effective Date: May 27, 2026  |  Last Updated: May 27, 2026

How our website uses cookies and similar technologies, including WooCommerce, Google Analytics, Google reCAPTCHA, and social media login.

This Cookie Policy explains how Charles G.G. Schmidt & Co., Inc. (“CGG Schmidt,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://cggschmidt.com (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. Our website is built on WooCommerce and uses Google Analytics, Google reCAPTCHA, and social media login, each of which relies on cookies as described below.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, keep your shopping cart working, and provide information about how the site is used. Similar technologies — such as pixels, local storage, and software development kits — work in comparable ways, and references to “cookies” in this policy include them.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

• Operate core store features such as the shopping cart and secure checkout (WooCommerce)
• Keep you logged in and remember your account and display preferences
• Protect our forms and login from spam and abuse (Google reCAPTCHA)
• Understand how visitors find and use the Site so we can improve it (Google Analytics)
• Enable sign-in using a supported social media account

3. Types of Cookies We Use

The table below summarizes the main categories of cookies on our Site:

Cookie type	Purpose	Examples / providers
Strictly necessary	Required for the Site to function — shopping cart, checkout, secure sessions, and load balancing. These cannot be switched off in our systems.	WooCommerce (woocommerce_cart_hash, woocommerce_items_in_cart, wp_woocommerce_session); WordPress login/session
Security	Protect forms and login from automated abuse and spam, and help verify that visitors are human.	Google reCAPTCHA
Functional	Remember choices you make — such as social login and display preferences — to provide enhanced features.	Social media login providers; WordPress preference cookies
Analytics / performance	Help us understand traffic, page views, and how the Site is used, on an aggregated basis, so we can improve it.	Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _ga_*)

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use. These providers process data under their own privacy and cookie policies:

• WooCommerce / WordPress: powers store, cart, checkout, and account functionality.
• Google Analytics: measures site usage. You can opt out across sites with Google’s browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
• Google reCAPTCHA: protects our forms; subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at https://policies.google.com.
• Social media login providers: set cookies when you choose to sign in with a social account; governed by that platform’s policies.

5. How to Manage or Disable Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or remove cookies and notify you when a new cookie is set. Helpful guides are available in the settings/help section of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Site — including the cart and checkout — from working properly.

Where required by law, we will request your consent before setting non-essential cookies (such as analytics) and provide a cookie banner or settings tool allowing you to accept, reject, or customize your choices.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Because there is no common industry standard for how to respond to DNT signals, our Site does not currently respond to them. You can still manage cookies using the methods described above.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our Site, technologies, or legal requirements change. We will revise the “Last Updated” date above when we do. Please check back periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
