Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, provide a better user experience, and give site operators information about how the site is being used.

Similar technologies include web beacons (also known as pixels or clear GIFs), local storage, and session storage. Throughout this policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer to all such technologies collectively.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use on the Centerpiece platform (the "Platform"), why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides comprehensive details about how we handle your personal information.

Centerpiece Lab, Inc. ("Company," "we," "us") is the merchant of record for all purchases made through the Platform. Cookies are used to support core commerce functions, not for behavioral advertising or selling your data.

We organize cookies into four categories based on their purpose:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function. They cannot be disabled without impairing core functionality.

| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | |--------|---------|----------| | Session ID | Maintains your active session across page navigation | Session (expires when browser closes) | | Authentication Token | Keeps you signed in after login | 30 days | | Shopping Cart | Preserves items in your cart across sessions | 30 days | | CSRF Token | Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks | Session | | Cookie Consent | Remembers your cookie preference selections | 1 year |

Legal basis (GDPR): Legitimate interest — these cookies are essential for providing the service you have requested.

Functional Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences and enable enhanced functionality.

| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | |--------|---------|----------| | Language Preference | Remembers your selected language across visits | 1 year | | Theme Preference | Remembers your selected visual theme (light/dark mode, theme variant) | 1 year | | Layout Preferences | Remembers display preferences such as grid vs. list view | 6 months | | Recently Viewed | Stores recently viewed products for quick access | 30 days |

Legal basis (GDPR): Consent — these cookies are set only with your consent where required by law. In jurisdictions where consent is not required for preference cookies, legitimate interest applies.

Performance Measurement Cookies

These cookies collect aggregated information about how the Platform is used. All data is aggregated and anonymous — no individual user profiles are created.

| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | |--------|---------|----------| | Platform Analytics | Aggregated page view counts, load times, and error rates to improve performance | 26 months | | Internal Attribution | Measures traffic sources and internal sales attribution to evaluate storefront performance | 90 days |

Important clarifications about attribution cookies:

• Internal sales attribution measures which storefronts generate sales to calculate Partner compensation. This is an internal business measurement process conducted entirely within Centerpiece Lab's systems.
• No personal data is shared with Partners through this process. Partners receive only aggregated, non-identifying performance metrics (e.g., total sales volume).
• These cookies do not enable cross-site tracking, behavioral profiling, or retargeting.
• We do not use these cookies to sell your data to any third party.
• These are not advertising or marketing cookies.

Legal basis (GDPR): Consent — these cookies are set only with your consent where required by law.

Third-Party Service Cookies

Limited cookies may be set by our payment processors and fulfillment integration partners for the specific purpose of completing your transaction.

| Cookie Source | Purpose | Duration | |---------------|---------|----------| | Payment Processor | Fraud detection, payment authentication (e.g., 3D Secure), and transaction processing | Session to 1 year (varies by provider) | | Fulfillment Integration | Shipping rate calculations and delivery address verification | Session |

These third-party cookies are set only during the checkout and fulfillment process and are governed by each provider's own privacy and cookie policies. We select partners who comply with applicable data protection laws.

Legal basis (GDPR): Contract performance — these cookies are necessary to process your transaction.

What we do not use:

• No advertising cookies
• No behavioral tracking cookies
• No cross-site tracking technologies
• No cookies from ad networks, social media platforms, or data brokers
• No retargeting or remarketing cookies

Cookies used on the Platform fall into two categories based on their lifespan:

Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used for functions that require continuity within a single browsing session, such as maintaining your login state and shopping cart contents during checkout.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. They are used for functions that need to persist across multiple visits, such as remembering your language preference and keeping you signed in.

The specific duration of each cookie is listed in the tables in the "Cookies We Use" section above. We regularly review our cookie practices and reduce retention periods where possible.

Centerpiece Lab does not sell, rent, or trade any data collected through cookies.

Data Sharing Limitations

• Fulfillment Partners receive only the minimum information necessary to ship your order (name, delivery address, and order details). They do not receive cookie data, browsing history, or analytics information.
• Payment Processors receive payment-related data necessary to process your transaction securely. This data is transmitted directly from your browser to the payment processor and is subject to their PCI DSS-compliant security practices.
• Store Operators and Partners do not receive any cookie data or individual-level analytics. Internal sales attribution is calculated within Centerpiece Lab's systems, and Partners receive only aggregated performance metrics.
• No ad networks or data brokers receive any data from our cookies. We have no advertising or data-selling relationships.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. Here is how you can manage your cookie preferences:

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

• View cookies stored on your device.
• Delete some or all cookies.
• Block cookies from specific or all websites.
• Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set.

Browser-Specific Instructions

• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Consequences of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable or block cookies, please be aware that:

• Essential cookies: Disabling these will prevent core functionality. You will not be able to log in, add items to your cart, or complete purchases.
• Functional cookies: Disabling these means the Platform will not remember your language, theme, or layout preferences. You will need to set these each time you visit.
• Performance measurement cookies: Disabling these means we will not collect analytics data from your visits. This does not affect your ability to use the Platform.
• Third-party service cookies: Disabling these may prevent payment processing or shipping rate calculations from working correctly during checkout.

Cookie Consent Management

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings on the Platform.

GDPR Rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland:

• Consent Withdrawal: You may withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies at any time through the cookie settings on the Platform or through your browser settings. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of cookie-based processing carried out before withdrawal.
• Access and Deletion: You have the right to request information about the cookies we have set on your device and to request deletion. See our Privacy Policy for details on exercising your data rights.

CCPA/CPRA Disclosure

If you are a California resident:

• No Sale of Personal Information: Centerpiece Lab does not sell personal information collected through cookies or any other means. Because we do not sell personal information, the "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" opt-out does not apply, but we respect your preference.
• Right to Know: You may request information about the categories of personal information we collect through cookies and how it is used. Contact us at legal@centerpiecelab.com with "CCPA Request" in the subject line.

Some web browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals to websites. While there is no universally accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals, we respect this preference as follows:

• When we detect a DNT signal from your browser, we will not set performance measurement cookies (analytics and internal attribution cookies).
• Essential cookies and functional cookies will still be set, as they are necessary for Platform functionality and your preferences.
• Third-party service cookies required for payment processing will still be set during checkout, as they are necessary to complete your transaction.

We encourage privacy-conscious users to also review our Privacy Policy for a complete picture of how we handle your data.

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our cookie practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other factors.

How We Notify You

• Material Changes: For significant changes that affect how we use cookies or the categories of cookies we set, we will notify you by email (if you have an account) or by displaying a prominent notice on the Platform at least 30 days before the changes take effect.
• Minor Changes: For non-substantive changes (such as formatting or clarifications), we will update the "Last Revised" date at the top of this policy.

Your Continued Use

Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of an updated Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with the changes, you may adjust your cookie settings or discontinue use of the Platform.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
