This Cookie Policy explains how Desert Source (“Desert Source,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on desertsource.com (the “Site”), and the choices available to you. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies, such as pixels, web beacons, and local storage, work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy along with cookies.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the Site to function properly — for example, keeping items in your shopping cart, enabling secure checkout, and maintaining your session as you browse. The Site may not work correctly without these cookies, and they cannot be switched off through our cookie tools.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site — such as which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and whether errors occur — so we can measure and improve Site performance. Information collected is generally aggregated and used for analytics purposes.
Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as language or display preferences) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests, to limit how often you see an ad, and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners, and may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other websites.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the Site are placed by third parties, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, and e-commerce or marketing platforms we use to operate and improve the Site. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Site and other websites over time. We do not control these third-party cookies, and we encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party service for more information about how they use data.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. You can typically find these controls in your browser's “Settings,” “Preferences,” or “Privacy” menu. Because blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Site — including your ability to complete a purchase — please keep this in mind before disabling cookies.
Where available, a cookie banner or preference tool on the Site allows you to manage non-essential cookie categories, such as analytics and advertising cookies, at any time.
5. Your California Privacy Rights: Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), the use of certain advertising and analytics cookies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, as those terms are defined under California law. California residents have the right to opt out of this sale or sharing.
You can exercise this right by disabling advertising and analytics cookies through our cookie preference tool (where available), adjusting your browser settings, or using a recognized opt-out preference signal, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), where supported. You may also submit a request by contacting us using the information in Section 7 below.
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of California residents under the age of 16 without appropriate consent. Exercising your privacy rights will not result in discriminatory treatment.
6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and technologies we use, or for legal or operational reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
