What Are Cookies
Cookies are small data files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time, so you don't have to re-enter information every time you return.
Cookies set by ShopBAM Online are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by third parties — such as analytics or advertising providers — are called third-party cookies. Both types may be active when you visit shopbamonline.com.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to make our store work correctly, to understand how visitors use our site, and to deliver relevant content and advertising. Some cookies are essential — without them the store cannot function. Others are optional and help us improve your experience.

In addition to cookies we may use:

- Local Storage — browser-based storage that persists after you close the browser, used for preferences and cart data
- Session Storage — similar to local storage but cleared when you close the browser tab
- Pixels — code snippets from advertising platforms that track conversions and build ad audiences
How to Control Cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Cookie banner — when you first visit our site you can accept or decline non-essential cookies
- Browser settings — most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their privacy settings
- Google Analytics opt-out — install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Blocking essential cookies will prevent our store from functioning correctly. Blocking non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to browse or purchase.
