Cookie Policy

Cookies, local storage and your consent · Last updated July 2026

Last updated: June 2024

This Cookie Policy explains how PrintPlume ("we", "us", or "our"), operating printplume.com, uses cookies, localStorage, and similar technologies when you visit our 3D printing review website. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. LocalStorage is a similar browser-based storage technology that allows websites to store data directly in your browser without an expiration date, unless it is manually cleared. Both technologies allow a website to remember information about your visit or preferences.

When you first visit printplume.com, you will see a cookie consent banner asking whether you accept or decline non-essential cookies, including analytics cookies. Your response (accept or decline) is saved using your browser's localStorage. This means:

  • We do not set analytics cookies until you actively click "Accept".
  • If you click "Decline", no analytics cookies are set, and only your choice is remembered locally so we don't show the banner again on future visits.
  • This preference record is stored only on your own device, in your browser's localStorage, and is not automatically transmitted to any external server as a cookie itself.
  • If you clear your browser's site data or use a different browser or device, the banner will appear again and ask for your preference.

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies/Storage

These are essential for the basic functioning of our site, such as remembering your cookie consent choice (stored via localStorage) and maintaining basic site security. These do not require consent because they are essential to deliver the service you request.

If you accept cookies through our consent banner, we may load analytics tools to help us understand how visitors use PrintPlume — for example, which reviews and buying guides are most popular, how long visitors stay on pages, and which links they click. This helps us improve our content and site experience. These analytics cookies are only activated after you give consent and are not set if you decline or ignore the banner.

We may use third-party analytics providers, such as Google Analytics, which set their own cookies subject to their respective privacy and cookie policies. These third parties may collect information such as your IP address (which may be anonymized), browser type, device type, pages visited, and referral source. We do not control these third-party cookies directly; their use is governed by the respective provider's own policies.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some pages on PrintPlume may embed content from third parties, such as YouTube videos showcasing 3D printer unboxings or reviews, or affiliate links to retailers. These third-party services may set their own cookies when you interact with embedded content. We do not control these cookies, and we encourage you to review the relevant third party's cookie or privacy policy for more information.

You can withdraw or change your cookie consent at any time using one of the following methods:

  • Clear your browser's cookies and site data for printplume.com. This will remove the stored consent value from localStorage, and the consent banner will reappear on your next visit, allowing you to make a new choice.
  • Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies and localStorage data generally. Instructions vary by browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.) and are usually found under "Privacy" or "Site Settings".
  • Use private/incognito browsing mode, which typically does not retain localStorage data or cookies after the session ends.

Please note that withdrawing consent does not retroactively delete analytics data already collected, but it will prevent further analytics cookies from being set on future visits until you provide consent again.

Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

  • View what cookies and site data are stored on your device.
  • Delete individual or all cookies and site data.
  • Block cookies from specific sites or all sites by default.
  • Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set.

Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, including features that rely on remembering your preferences.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our own practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
