This Cookie Policy explains how Filament Quarry ("we", "us", "our", filamentquarry.com) uses cookies, localStorage, and similar technologies when you visit our site. We review 3D printers and filament, and we keep our use of tracking technology as minimal and transparent as possible.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. localStorage is a similar browser storage mechanism that allows a site to save small amounts of data directly in your browser, without necessarily sending it back to a server with every request. We use both, depending on the feature.
When you first visit Filament Quarry, you'll see a cookie consent banner asking whether you accept or decline non-essential cookies (such as analytics). Your choice is not stored as a tracking cookie itself — instead, we save your preference (accepted or declined) in your browser's localStorage. This allows us to remember your decision on future visits without repeatedly showing the banner, and without setting any cookie until you've actually consented.
This includes the localStorage entry that records your cookie consent choice. This is essential for the site to function as intended (i.e., to avoid showing the banner repeatedly) and does not require separate consent, as it does not track you across sites or collect personal data beyond your stated preference.
If you accept cookies via our banner, we may load a third-party analytics service to help us understand how visitors use Filament Quarry — for example, which reviews and comparison articles are most popular, how long visitors stay on the site, and which pages might need improvement. These cookies typically collect information such as:
These cookies are only set after you click "Accept" on the consent banner. If you click "Decline," no analytics cookies are loaded, and no such data is collected through cookies.
Our analytics provider(s) may set their own cookies once you've given consent. These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which govern how they handle any data collected. We select analytics partners that offer reasonable privacy protections, but we encourage you to review their respective policies for full details on their data practices, including any aggregated or anonymized data they may retain.
Because your consent choice is stored in your browser's localStorage rather than a traditional cookie, the simplest way to withdraw or reset your consent is to clear your browser's site data or storage for filamentquarry.com. This will remove the stored consent value and any analytics cookies that were set, and the consent banner will appear again on your next visit, allowing you to make a fresh choice.
To clear this data, you can typically:
Alternatively, most browsers allow you to clear all cookies and site data at once, or use a private/incognito browsing window, which does not retain cookies or localStorage after the session ends.
In addition to our on-site banner, your browser itself offers controls to block or delete cookies, disable third-party cookies, or receive alerts when a cookie is being set. Please note that if you disable cookies broadly at the browser level, some site features — including remembering your consent preference — may not work as intended, and you may see the consent banner on every visit.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. We currently do not respond to DNT signals directly, since there is no consistent industry standard for interpreting them. Instead, we rely on the explicit accept/decline choice you make through our consent banner.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or for legal and regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and similar storage technologies.
