We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site: which products are viewed, how many people add items to their cart, and where people drop off before completing a purchase. This helps us improve the site.
- No personal information (name, phone, email) is ever shared with Google Analytics
- IP addresses are anonymised before being processed by Google
- GA4 data is used solely by Software to Kitchen. We do not share it with advertisers
You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Payment Cookies
