Privacy & site stats.

What we measure

We collect first-party website statistics to understand how our site is used: pages opened, approximate time spent with each page visible, and an approximate country based on the connection’s IP address. We do not collect search text or the contents of forms through this tracker.

A first-party cookie called ace_visit identifies a browser for up to 90 days. It contains a random identifier, not your name or contact information. The database stores a hashed identifier and a masked IP network rather than a full IP address. Country lookups happen on our own server; visitor IP addresses are not sent to a geolocation service.

Retention and access

Site statistics are available only in our password-protected admin area and are automatically removed after 90 days when collection runs. Clearing your cookies or using a different browser can cause you to be counted as a new visitor.

Your choice

You can turn off this tracker for this browser below. We also respect Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Opting out does not affect your ability to browse products or contact us.

Your preference is stored in the ace_stats_optout cookie for one year. This setting affects future collection and does not remove previously collected records. Server access logs maintained by the hosting system are separate from this tracker.
