Necessary or functional cookies may be used for functions such as:
Keeping the website operational
Maintaining shopping-cart contents

When optional analytics tools requiring consent are enabled, available cookie or consent controls will be used as appropriate.
Marketing & Advertising Technologies
Rach’s Place may in the future use optional marketing technologies, pixels, or advertising integrations.

Analytics may help us understand:
How many people visit the Site
Which pages are useful or popular
How visitors generally find the Site

We do not claim to use a particular third-party analytics service solely because Hostinger supports that integration.
If services such as Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, or other third-party tracking tools are intentionally enabled, their collection and use of information may also be governed by their own privacy policies and applicable cookie-consent choices.
