At Consignment POS, we value your privacy and are committed to transparency regarding how we collect and use data on our website and through our cloud-based consignment POS systems. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to deliver our services, enhance your browsing experience, and provide essential features for consignment stores, resale shops, thrift store POS users, and those utilizing our inventory tracking and consignor management software. By accessing our website or using our POS solutions, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They help websites recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time. Cookies are widely used to enable essential functionality, improve website performance, provide analytics, and support personalized experiences.
At Consignment POS, we utilize cookies across our public website and within our secure POS dashboard to ensure smooth operation for users managing consignment store point of sale systems, inventory tracking for consignment, or consignor management software. Cookies allow us to deliver the features our clients expect, such as persistent login, tailored content, and reliable data management.
Why We Use Cookies
Cookies serve several important purposes for users of Consignment POS. First, they are essential for ensuring secure login and authentication processes, which is especially important when managing sensitive sales and inventory data in a resale shop POS system. Cookies help maintain your session as you navigate between pages or modules in our software.
Secondly, cookies improve your overall experience by remembering your settings and preferences—such as dashboard layout, reporting filters, or preferred language. For consignor management and inventory tracking, this saves time and streamlines day-to-day tasks, making your interaction with our system smoother and more efficient.
Types of Cookies We Use
Consignment POS uses several types of cookies to optimize our services for consignment stores, resale shops, and thrift stores:
a) Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are vital for the basic operation of our POS system and website. They allow you to securely log in to your consignment POS account, manage sales, and access inventory tracking features. Without these cookies, essential services such as secure checkout, real-time inventory updates, and consignor management would not function properly.
Strictly necessary cookies do not gather information about you for marketing purposes or remember where you have been on the internet. They are required for the core operation of our software.
b) Performance and Analytics Cookies
Performance cookies help us monitor how users interact with our website and POS platform. We use these cookies to collect aggregated data on how often features are used, which pages are visited most frequently, and where users may encounter errors or slowdowns. This information is vital for ongoing improvement of our resale shop POS system, thrift store POS solutions, and inventory tracking modules.
Analytics cookies allow us to measure the effectiveness of new features, understand usage trends, and optimize the user experience for consignment stores of all sizes. All analytics data collected via cookies is anonymized and used solely for our own product development and troubleshooting purposes.
c) Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember your individual preferences and customizations, such as your store’s dashboard setup, report configurations, or saved inventory filters. For consignor management software users, these cookies help maintain your chosen settings, making daily operations more intuitive and saving you time with each login.
By remembering your selections, functional cookies help deliver a more personalized experience, ensuring your consignment POS environment fits your unique business needs without repeated setup.
d) Targeting and Advertising Cookies
While Consignment POS does not run third-party ads within our software, we may use limited targeting cookies on our public website to improve our outreach to potential clients. These cookies help us measure the success of our digital marketing campaigns and ensure our content reaches the most relevant audience, such as consignment store owners, thrift shop managers, and resale business operators seeking modern POS solutions.
We do not share personally identifiable information with third-party advertisers. Any advertising cookies used are limited to aggregate campaign measurement and never compromise your privacy or the security of your data.
How We Use Cookies in Consignment POS Solutions
For users of our consignment POS, inventory tracking, and consignor management software, cookies play a crucial role in keeping your workflow seamless and secure. When you log in, authentication cookies keep your session active, preventing unauthorized access and allowing you to move between modules—such as sales, inventory, or reports—without constant re-authentication.
Additionally, cookies support core features like quick product lookup, instant access to consignor records, and automated sales tracking. By storing your store’s unique preferences, our POS system tailors its dashboard and menus to your needs, whether you’re managing a busy resale shop or a single-location thrift store.
Our cookie usage ensures data integrity and smooth functionality, even as you switch devices or work with multiple team members across your consignment business. We never use cookies to collect sensitive cardholder data or store private financial information.
