Cookie Policy
Control how this store measures visits.
Essential cookies keep accounts, carts and security working. Analytics remains off unless you choose to allow it.
Status: Pre-launch draft, updated 17 August 2026
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text values stored by a browser. Similar browser storage is treated in the same way for this policy. Some storage is strictly necessary to provide the service; other storage is optional.
2. Our consent approach
Essential cookies are set when required to provide the store and do not depend on analytics consent. Google Analytics 4 is not loaded unless you accept analytics. Rejecting analytics does not prevent you from browsing, creating an account or placing an order.
3. Cookies used by AnyWeather

4. Google Analytics
If configured and accepted, GA4 receives page and commerce events such as product views, adding an item to a cart, starting checkout and completing a purchase. The implementation must not intentionally send names, email addresses, delivery addresses or other direct customer identifiers. IP anonymisation is requested in the GA configuration.
5. Changing or withdrawing consent
Use “Cookie preferences” in the footer at any time. Withdrawing analytics consent prevents further GA4 loading and removes accessible first-party GA cookies from this domain. You can also delete or block cookies in browser settings, although blocking essential cookies may break carts, sign-in or region selection.
6. Third parties, changes and contact
Hosting, commerce and payment providers may use essential technical storage when you interact with their services. Their privacy notices apply to their processing. See the Privacy Policy for provider and international-processing information.
We will update this policy before adding new non-essential analytics, advertising or heatmap tools. Questions can be sent to sales@anyweather.co.za.
