Cookie Policy

Last updated: July 14, 2026

This policy explains how BeerCanPickup uses cookies and similar technologies. For how we handle personal information more broadly, see our Privacy Policy.

A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. We group ours into three categories. You can accept or decline the non‑essential ones at any time using the Cookie Settings link (also in the footer). Essential cookies can't be switched off because the site won't work without them.

1. Strictly necessary (always on)

Required to run the site and keep it secure. No consent needed.

3. Analytics (only with your consent)

Help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. These load only after you choose “Accept all” in the cookie banner, and never before. If you choose “Necessary only,” none of these are set.

4. Managing cookies

Use the Cookie Settings link to change your choice anytime. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features (like staying logged in) may stop working.
