Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 14, 2026

This page explains how AlpacaShoPro uses browser technologies and how you can manage optional preferences. It reflects the current application audit performed on August 14, 2026.

Core security, authentication, payment, and requested service functions rely on strictly necessary technologies. Optional preference technologies stay off unless you enable them through Cookie Preferences.

Why We Use Necessary Technologies

To keep user sessions authenticated and secure.
To protect login, signup, password reset, and abuse-report forms from automated misuse.
To process online registration payments when you choose to pay through PayPal.

Optional Technologies Requiring Consent

First-party preference storage such as interface view choices and local printer helper tokens.
The optional `user-setup-preferences` cookie used to remember dismissed setup reminders.
Radar address autocomplete, which is only available after Functional / Preferences consent.

Current Consent Controls

New visitors see a consent banner with Accept All, Reject Optional, and Manage Preferences options. Strictly Necessary technologies stay active. Optional Functional / Preferences technologies default to off.

You can reopen Cookie Preferences from the site footer at any time. Withdrawing Functional / Preferences consent stops future optional storage use and clears AlpacaShoPro-managed optional storage where technically appropriate.

Technology Notes Requiring Ongoing Review

Google reCAPTCHA is used on account and other security-sensitive forms to detect automated abuse and help protect AlpacaShoPro accounts. It is restricted to the forms that actually use it.
If analytics, marketing tags, or additional third-party embeds are added later, this policy and the consent version will be updated before those technologies are enabled.
