Cookies

This page explains what blacksandlab.com stores on your device and which other services your browser connects to when you visit. In short: this website sets no cookies, so there is no banner and nothing to accept.

1. In short

• This website sets no cookies. We last checked on 21 October 2026. That is why you see no cookie banner.

• Some features save small notes in your own browser (local storage), such as your shortlist of designers or your selection of pieces. They are part of the service you ask for and need no consent.

• Our visitor statistics use no cookies, store nothing on your device and give you no identifier.

• The fonts and scripts we load from other providers set no cookies.

• If you pay through our online checkout, once it is available, you move to Stripe's payment page, which uses its own necessary cookies.

2. What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage (data a website saves in your browser) and scripts that read information from your device. Spanish law (Article 22.2 of the LSSI) requires a website to ask for your consent before using them, except when they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have asked for. Everything this website stores falls under that exception, and we explain each item below.

3. What we store on your device

• Designer shortlist (blacksand_shortlist) · What it does: Remembers the designers you shortlist for a Bespoke request · When it is set: When you add a designer to your shortlist · How long: Until you send your request or clear your browser data

• Piece selection (blacksand_cart) · What it does: Remembers the Sand Store pieces you select for a quote · When it is set: When you add a piece · How long: Until you send your request or clear your browser data

• Trade selection (blacksand_trade_selection) · What it does: Remembers the pieces you select for a trade pricing request · When it is set: When you add a piece on the trade pricing page · How long: Until you send your request or clear your browser data

• Trade access (blacksand_trade_yes) · What it does: Remembers that you answered "Yes" to "Are you a trade professional?", so trade links open the trade pricing page directly · When it is set: When you answer "Yes" on the trade pop-up · How long: Until you clear your browser data

• Request reference (blacksand_ref, blacksand_trade_ref, blacksand_tradeprice_ref, with blacksand_sent, blacksand_trade_sent, blacksand_tradeprice_sent) · What it does: Keeps the reference code of a request you have sent, and a note that it was sent, so the confirmation stays on screen · When it is set: When you send a request · How long: Until you send a new request or clear your browser data

• Welcome animation (blacksand_welcome_seen, session storage) · What it does: Remembers that you have seen the welcome animation, so it does not play again · When it is set: The first time the animation plays · How long: Until you close the browser tab

• Team device flag (bsl_team) · What it does: Marks our own team's devices so that our visits are not counted in our statistics. It is never set on visitors' devices · When it is set: Only when a member of our team turns it on · How long: Until we turn it off

None of these items needs your consent: they are strictly necessary for features you choose to use (LSSI, art. 22.2), or, in the case of the team flag, exist only on our own devices. They stay on your device. The only information that reaches us is what you send in a request, such as the pieces or designers you selected.

4. Visitor statistics without cookies

We count visits with our own simple counter. It does not use cookies, does not store or read anything saved on your device and gives you no identifier. It uses only basic information that your browser shares with every website, such as the screen size (to tell a phone from a computer) and the browser language. It does not record your IP address. The records are kept for us by Supabase in the EU (Ireland), used only by us to understand how the site is used, never combined with your requests or orders, and never used for advertising. Our Privacy policy (section 5.1) lists exactly what is recorded and for how long.

This measurement follows the conditions the Spanish data protection authority (AEPD) sets for audience measurement without consent: anonymous statistics, used only by us, no tracking across websites, records kept for 25 months at most.

Our website provider, Framer, also gives us aggregated statistics. Framer's statistics use no cookies and no identifiers, and store nothing on your device.

Our database provider, Supabase, uses Cloudflare to protect its servers. Cloudflare may answer with a short-lived security cookie (__cf_bm, 30 minutes) for its own domain (supabase.co). Our counter sends its records without cookies, so your browser does not store it.

5. Other services your browser connects to

• Framer (framerusercontent.com, events.framer.com): hosts the site's images and files and its statistics script. No cookies.

• Google Fonts (fonts.gstatic.com): delivers the typeface used on this site. Google receives your IP address, as any web server does. No cookies.

• jsDelivr (cdn.jsdelivr.net): delivers the animation library used by the Sand Store map. jsDelivr receives your IP address, as any web server does. No cookies.

• Supabase (supabase.co): only if you attach files to a Bespoke request. Your files go straight to our private storage in the EU when you add them. We set no cookies; only Cloudflare's short-lived security cookie described in section 4 may apply.

• Stripe (checkout.stripe.com): only if you buy through our online checkout, once it is available. The payment page is run by Stripe, which may set its own strictly necessary cookies there for payment, security and fraud prevention. Stripe is responsible for them; see Stripe's cookie policy. These cookies are needed to make the payment you ask for, so they do not need your consent.

Embedded content. We do not embed content from other websites: no videos, maps, social media feeds or "like" buttons. Links to Instagram, LinkedIn and other sites only take you there when you click. Those sites have their own cookie policies.

6. Global Privacy Control

We respect Global Privacy Control and similar browser signals. We do not sell your data, share it for advertising or track you across websites, and we set no cookies that need consent, so there is nothing on this site for such a signal to switch off.

7. How to clear what is stored

• Your shortlist or selection: send your request, or clear your browser data for this site.

• Everything at once: clear your browser's data for blacksandlab.com. In most browsers you find this under Settings > Privacy > Cookies and site data. The site keeps working; you only lose your current shortlist or selection.

• Session storage: close the browser tab.

8. Changes

If we ever want to use cookies or other technologies that need your consent (for example advertising, third-party analytics, or embedded videos or maps), we will ask you first, with a clear choice to accept or reject, before anything is set. We will update this page and its date. How we handle personal data is explained in our Privacy policy.
