Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how SnugLab («SnugLab», «we», «us», or «our») uses cookies, localStorage, and similar technologies when you visit snugphone.com (the «Site»). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and what choices you have. By continuing to browse our Site, you agree to the practices described below, subject to the consent choices you make via our cookie banner.

What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites function, work more efficiently, and provide information to site owners. Local storage (specifically, browser localStorage) is a similar technology that allows a website to store small amounts of data directly in your browser, without an expiry date, until it is manually cleared.

SnugLab uses a combination of essential local storage and, where you consent, analytics cookies to operate the Site and understand how visitors use our phone accessories reviews, buying guides, and comparison articles.

The Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit snugphone.com, you will see a consent banner asking whether you accept or decline non-essential cookies. Here is exactly what happens:

• Your choice («accept» or «decline») is recorded and saved in your browser's localStorage under a key associated with SnugLab's cookie consent.
• This stored preference allows the Site to remember your decision so the banner does not reappear on every page load or every visit.
• No analytics or tracking cookies are set until you actively click «Accept.» If you click «Decline,» only the record of your decline choice is stored locally, and no analytics cookies are placed.
• This consent record itself is considered strictly necessary, as it is required for the Site to function in a legally compliant and user-respecting way.

Categories of Cookies and Storage We Use

1. Strictly Necessary Local Storage

This category includes the localStorage entry that records your cookie consent choice (accepted or declined). It does not track your browsing behavior, does not identify you personally, and cannot be disabled while still using the Site, since it is what allows the Site to respect your preference in the first place.

2. Analytics Cookies (Only With Consent)

If you click «Accept» on our cookie banner, SnugLab will load analytics cookies to help us understand how visitors interact with our reviews of phone cases, chargers, screen protectors, cables, and other accessories. These cookies may collect information such as:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Approximate geographic location (country or region level)
• Device and browser type
• Referring website or search terms that led you to SnugLab
• General navigation patterns across the Site

This data is aggregated and used to improve our content, identify popular accessory categories, and fix broken links or usability issues. Analytics cookies are not loaded, and no such data is collected, unless you have explicitly accepted cookies via the banner.

3. Third-Party Analytics Cookies

Our analytics functionality is provided by third-party analytics services. When you accept cookies, these providers may set their own cookies on your device to collect the usage information described above. These third-party providers process data according to their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. SnugLab does not control the specific technical operation of these third-party cookies beyond enabling or disabling their loading based on your consent status.

We do not use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or cross-site tracking cookies on this Site.

How Long Do Cookies and Storage Last?

• The consent record in localStorage persists until you clear your browser's site data, as localStorage does not have an automatic expiration date.
• Analytics cookies, if you have accepted them, typically persist for a period defined by the analytics provider, commonly ranging from a session up to 24 months, after which they expire automatically.

How to Withdraw or Change Your Consent

You are always in control of your cookie preferences. If you previously accepted cookies and wish to withdraw that consent, or if you want the banner to reappear so you can make a different choice, you can do so by clearing your browser's local storage and cookies for snugphone.com. General steps include:

• Chrome: Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear Browsing Data, select «Cookies and other site data» along with «Cached images and files,» and choose to clear data for this Site (or all sites).
• Firefox: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data, or use «Manage Data» to remove data specifically for snugphone.com.
• Safari: Go to Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data, search for snugphone.com, and remove it.
• Edge: Go to Settings > Privacy, Search, and Services > Clear Browsing Data, and select cookies and site data for removal.

Once you clear this data, the localStorage record of your prior choice is deleted, the cookie banner will reappear on your next visit, and any analytics cookies previously set will also be removed. You can then choose to accept or decline again.

You may also adjust your browser settings to block all cookies or to be notified whenever a cookie is set. Please note that blocking essential local storage may cause the consent banner to reappear repeatedly, as your browser will not retain a record of your prior choice.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a «Do Not Track» feature. Because there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to these signals, SnugLab currently relies on the consent choice you make via our cookie banner rather than automated «Do Not Track» browser signals.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the technologies we use, or applicable legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and local storage.
