This Cookie Policy explains how Side Quest Research Labs
(“Side Quest Research Labs,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and
similar technologies when you visit
sidequestresearchlabs.com.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, phone,
tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites
function properly, remember user preferences, maintain shopping carts,
improve performance, and understand how visitors use the website.

How We Use Cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Operate and secure our website;
  • Remember age-verification and research-use acknowledgments;
  • Maintain items placed in your shopping cart;
  • Process checkout and account functions;
  • Remember website preferences;
  • Measure website traffic and performance;
  • Prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized activity; and
  • Improve the functionality and user experience of our website.

Types of Cookies We May Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function properly. They may
support security, shopping-cart activity, checkout, account login,
age-verification, research-use acknowledgment, and other essential
features.

Because these cookies are necessary to provide requested website
functions, they generally cannot be disabled through our website.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you make, such as your website
preferences or whether you have previously completed a website notice or
acknowledgment.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies may help us understand how visitors interact with the
website, including which pages are visited, how visitors reach the site,
and whether errors occur.

Information collected through analytics cookies may be aggregated or
pseudonymized. Where required, these cookies will only be used after you
provide consent.

Advertising and Marketing Cookies

We may use advertising or marketing cookies if we enable services that
measure advertising performance or provide personalized advertising.
Where required, these cookies will only be used after you provide consent.

WooCommerce Cookies

Our online store is powered by WooCommerce. WooCommerce may use cookies
to remember the contents of your cart, determine when cart contents
change, and associate cart information with an individual website session.

Common WooCommerce cookies may include:

  • woocommerce_cart_hash
  • woocommerce_items_in_cart
  • wp_woocommerce_session_*
  • woocommerce_recently_viewed
  • store_notice*

The exact cookies used may vary depending on the WooCommerce features,
payment services, plugins, and integrations enabled on our website.

Age and Research-Use Acknowledgment Cookies

Our website may store a cookie or similar browser record after a visitor
confirms that they meet the website’s minimum age requirement or accepts
the research-use acknowledgment.

These records are used to prevent the same notice from appearing
repeatedly during every page visit. They do not independently verify a
visitor’s identity or age.

Third-Party Cookies

Certain website services may place their own cookies or similar
technologies. These services may include:

  • Payment processors;
  • Website hosting and security providers;
  • Analytics providers;
  • Email or customer-service platforms;
  • Social-media services; and
  • Other WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.

Third-party cookies are controlled by the respective third party and are
subject to that party’s privacy and cookie policies.

Your Cookie Choices

Where available, you may use our cookie banner or preference tool to
accept, reject, or manage nonessential cookies.

You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers
allow you to review, block, or delete cookies. Disabling certain cookies
may prevent portions of the website, shopping cart, checkout, or account
features from functioning properly.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

Side Quest Research Labs does not knowingly sell personal information in
exchange for money.

Certain analytics or advertising technologies may be considered a
“sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some privacy laws. When
applicable, visitors may exercise available opt-out rights through our
cookie-preference tool or by contacting us.

Global Privacy Control

Where required by applicable law, we will process supported browser-based
opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request
to opt out of applicable data sales, sharing, or targeted advertising.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, plugins, services, or
legal obligations change. The updated version will be posted on this page
with a revised “Last updated” date.
