Cookie Policy

What browser storage we use, why we use it, and how you can control it. Short answer: we use very little, and nothing that tracks you across other sites.

Effective: January 1, 2026 Last updated: January 1, 2026

1. What are cookies and local storage

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device through your browser. Local storage is a similar browser feature that allows a website to store data on your device — but unlike cookies, local storage data is not automatically transmitted to the server with each request.

Both technologies are commonly used to remember things like your preferences, keep your shopping cart intact between pages, or recognize that you have already seen a notice. This Cookie Policy covers both.

2. What we use

Our Site uses a very small amount of browser storage. We do not use traditional advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or third-party analytics that identify individual visitors. The full list of what we store in your browser:

Name Type Purpose Retention
sk_cart_v1 localStorage Stores the items you have added to your takeout order so the cart survives page reloads and navigation. Never sent to our server until you submit the order form. Until you clear it or place an order
sk_cookie_ok_v1 localStorage Remembers that you have acknowledged the cookie banner so it does not appear on every visit. Until you clear it

That is the complete list. We do not set first-party cookies through JavaScript, and our web server does not set session cookies for visitors.

3. Strictly necessary storage

Both storage items listed above are strictly necessary for the Site to function as intended:

  • Without the cart storage, your takeout order would reset every time you clicked to a new page, which would make online ordering unusable.
  • Without the cookie preference flag, the cookie banner would appear on every page load — which would be annoying and pointless.

Because these are strictly necessary for the service you requested (online ordering and a usable website), they are exempt from consent requirements under most privacy frameworks, including the EU ePrivacy Directive and similar laws. We still tell you about them here, because you deserve to know.

4. What we do not use

To be clear, our Site does not use:

  • Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom, or any other web analytics service.
  • Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Google Ads tags, or any other advertising tracker.
  • Session recording tools (Hotjar, FullStory, etc.).
  • Heatmaps, A/B testing scripts, or personalization engines.
  • Cross-site tracking of any kind.
  • Retargeting or remarketing cookies.

We have no interest in following you around the internet, and we have no interest in selling your data to someone who does.

5. Third-party embeds

Some pages on our Site include third-party content that loads directly from another domain. When those resources load, your browser makes a request to that third party, which will see your IP address and user agent. We have configured these to minimize tracking, but we cannot control the third parties' own practices:

  • Google Maps (on the Visit and Contact pages): embedded map of our location. Google may set cookies when you interact with the map. See Google's privacy policy.
  • Google Fonts (on all pages): serves the fonts used for typography. Google Fonts may log requests for operational and abuse-prevention purposes. It does not use fonts to track you.
  • Font Awesome (via cdnjs.cloudflare.com on all pages): serves the icon library. cdnjs does not set tracking cookies.

We do not use embedded social media widgets, comment systems, or third-party authentication providers.

6. How to control storage

You can clear the storage our Site has placed at any time using your browser's settings. Instructions for common browsers:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies → See all site data and permissions → search for stumpknockers.shop → Delete.
  • Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data → search for stumpknockers.shop → Remove.
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data → search for stumpknockers.shop → Remove.
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data → search for stumpknockers.shop → Delete.

Clearing our local storage will empty your cart. If you clear the cookie preference flag, the cookie banner will appear again on your next visit.

Blocking storage entirely: Most browsers allow you to block all cookies and local storage. If you do, our online ordering will not work — the cart cannot survive between pages. You can still call us at (352) 726-2212 to place a takeout order.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal when you visit websites. Because we do not track you in the first place, our Site does not respond differently to DNT signals — there is nothing for us to stop doing. We respect the intent of the signal by simply not engaging in the behavior it is designed to prevent.

8. Changes to this policy

If we add new browser storage (for example, if we add a new feature that requires remembering a preference), we will update this Cookie Policy and the "Last updated" date at the top. We will not add advertising or cross-site tracking cookies without updating this policy and, where required, asking for your consent.
