The easiest way to opt out is to use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the communication.
We work with Flodesk to send out our blasts, so we strongly advise you to review their data protection policy.
Our partner for getting tracking data is Google Analytics. In particular we use cookies to collect anonymous tracking data. We also use cookies for our checkout process, this helps products to remain in your cart through out the process as well as it keeps you logged into your account.
