These technologies may collect or process information such as your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, products viewed, referring URLs, search terms, clickstream data, cart or checkout events, email-open events, account/login or registration events, and approximate location.
Some of these technologies are necessary for the website to work. Others are optional and may be disabled through our cookie preferences, browser controls, opt-out preference signals, or the opt-out tools listed in this Privacy Policy.
We use Cookiebot to manage website cookie preferences. Open “Cookie settings,” then “Change your consent,” to review Preferences, Statistics, and Marketing selections. Necessary cookies remain enabled. Use “Show details” to review the declared cookies, purposes, providers, and storage durations. You may also use “Withdraw your consent” to withdraw optional cookie consent.
Cookie choices apply to the browser and device you are using. Changing or withdrawing consent does not necessarily delete cookies already stored or information previously collected, and it does not unsubscribe you from marketing emails or text messages. You can clear stored cookies through your browser settings. For other privacy requests, use the contact methods in Section 17.
We may use the following types of cookies and similar technologies:
- Necessary or essential technologies. These are used to operate the Service, process orders, authenticate users, maintain security, prevent fraud, enable shopping cart and checkout functionality, and provide requested features.

6. Targeted Advertising, Identity Resolution, and “Sale” or “Sharing”
We do not sell personal information for money.
However, some privacy laws define “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” broadly enough to include the use of certain advertising cookies, pixels, analytics tools, identity-resolution services, affiliate tracking technologies, and similar tools.
We may disclose or make available online identifiers, device information, internet or other electronic network activity, commercial information, approximate geolocation information, and inferences to advertising networks, analytics providers, affiliate/referral partners, and identity-resolution vendors for advertising, measurement, attribution, retargeting, marketing, or identity-resolution purposes.
Depending on where you live, this activity may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or use of personal information for “targeted advertising.” You may opt out by emailing out customer service team at customerservice@galcoholsters.com .
Where required by applicable law, we treat a Global Privacy Control signal as a request to opt out of sale, sharing, and targeted advertising for the browser or device sending the signal. Because GPC is browser- and device-specific, you may need to enable it separately for each browser and device you use.
We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.
7. Identity-Resolution Notice
We may work with identity-resolution or data partners, including Retention.com, that use cookies, pixels, ad beacons, or similar technologies to associate your website activity, account activity, registration activity, login activity, or email-open activity with other information, such as an email address or other identifier. We or our vendors may use this information to send marketing communications, measure marketing, improve advertising, or understand marketing performance.
You may opt out of Retention.com’s services at: https://app.retention.com/optout.
8. Advertising, Analytics, and Identity-Resolution Opt-Outs
You may use the following tools to limit certain analytics, advertising, or identity-resolution activities:
- Global Privacy Control: Where required by law, we treat a Global Privacy Control signal as a request to opt out of sale, sharing, and targeted advertising for the browser or device sending the signal.
- Retention.com: https://app.retention.com/optout
- Cookiebot: Manage website cookie preferences through “Cookie settings,” as described in Section 4.
- Attentive: See https://www.attentive.com/legal/privacy for its privacy information. To stop marketing texts, reply STOP or follow the instructions in the message. For requests concerning your Galco information, contact us using Section 17.
Opt-out tools may be browser-specific or device-specific. If you clear cookies, use a different browser, or use a different device, you may need to renew your choices.
Opting out of targeted advertising, sale, or sharing does not necessarily stop all advertising. You may still receive contextual advertising, transactional messages, service-related messages, or marketing communications where permitted by law and not otherwise opted out.
9. Affiliate and Referral Tracking
We operate an affiliate program. When you click an affiliate link or advertisement that refers you to our website, we or our affiliate tracking vendor may use cookies, local storage, click IDs, affiliate IDs, referral URLs, order/conversion data, and similar information to identify the referring affiliate and determine whether a commission is owed.
Affiliate tracking cookies and similar technologies may remain on your browser for the period described in the applicable affiliate program terms. You may limit affiliate tracking through our cookie preferences and browser settings. Where affiliate tracking is considered a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under applicable law, you may opt out through email our customer service team at customerservice@galcoholsters.com.
10. Email and SMS Marketing
We may use email and SMS marketing vendors to manage marketing signups, send promotional messages, send abandoned-cart or browse-reminder messages, manage consent, and measure engagement with our communications. These vendors may process your name, email address, phone number, consent status, message engagement, pages or products viewed, cart activity, purchase activity, device information, and similar information.
You may opt out of marketing emails by following the opt-out instructions provided with the message or by contacting our customer service team at customerservice@galcoholsters.com.

11. Live Chat
We use a live chat provider to allow visitors to communicate with us. If you use live chat, our provider may process your chat messages, name, email address, phone number, IP address, device/browser information, pages visited, timestamps, and similar information to deliver the chat feature, route your request, maintain security, prevent fraud, troubleshoot, and improve the service.
Live chat is optional. You may contact us without using live chat by phone, email, or our contact form.
12. Product Reviews, Testimonials, and Public Postings
If you submit a product review, testimonial, comment, image, video, question, answer, or other content for public posting, we may collect and display the information you submit, such as your name, username, review content, rating, product information, date of submission, and any images, videos, or other content you choose to provide.
Information you submit for public posting may be visible to other users, search engines, social media platforms, and the general public. Public postings may be copied, indexed, cached, or stored by others. Do not submit information in reviews, testimonials, or other public areas that you do not want to be public.
We may use public postings to operate the review feature, display customer feedback, promote products, improve products and services, detect fraud or abuse, and comply with law. We may moderate, remove, or decline to post content where permitted by our terms or applicable law.
