Cookies Policy

Last updated: January 2026 Applies to: Shyntesy and HeartFirst websites, including legal.shyntesy.com, heartfirst.shyntesy.com, shyntesy.com, and associated product and information pages

What this policy covers

This policy explains how HeartFirst by Shyntesy and related Shyntesy websites use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies when you visit our websites or use our products.

We use these technologies minimally and purposefully: to keep the site working, remember choices you make, support secure checkout, understand performance, and improve the user experience. We do not sell personal data or give advertisers access to visitor data.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow websites to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and collect certain information about how you use the site. Cookies can be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (stored for a defined period).

The cookies we use

Essential / Strictly Necessary Always active

These technologies remember choices you make, such as your dark or light theme preference. They are used only to preserve your chosen experience on this site and do not track browsing across other websites.

Examples: theme preference stored in localStorage.

Preferences / Local Storage User preference

These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience, such as your dark or light theme preference. They do not track browsing across other websites.

Examples: theme preference stored in localStorage.

Analytics If enabled

If we use analytics tools, they help us understand how visitors use our site in aggregate: which pages are visited, how long people spend, and where they come from. We use this only to improve the experience. We do not share this data with advertisers. Where analytics cookies or similar storage require consent, we will ask for consent before enabling them.

We update this policy if and when specific analytics tools are deployed, including details of the provider and how to opt out.

Current position: We do not currently use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or social media tracking pixels. If this changes, we will update this policy, explain the tools in use, and request consent where required before enabling non-essential tracking.

Third-party cookies

Some third-party services we use may set their own cookies:

Stripe’s privacy policy is available at stripe.com/privacy. If PayPal is offered, PayPal’s terms and privacy information will also apply.

We do not embed social media buttons, advertising networks, or any third-party tracking that sets persistent tracking cookies on our visitors’ devices.

Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent our websites and checkout from functioning correctly.

Changes to this policy

We will update this policy if we add new cookies, remove existing ones, or change how we use them. Significant changes will be noted with an updated date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Our broader commitments

HeartFirst products are ad-free. We do not display advertising, allow advertisers to pay to place messages in our content, or use data about our visitors to power advertising networks. This policy reflects that commitment: we use cookies to serve you, not to serve advertisers.
