Cookies & Tracking Policy
Cookies & Tracking Policy
A fully transparent, detailed account of every cookie, pixel, and tracking technology used on yourhairandwig.com — what each one does, why we use it, and exactly how you can control or opt out of every category, wherever in the world you're shopping from.
What This Policy Covers
This Cookies & Tracking Policy explains how Your Hair And Wig ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies, pixels, web beacons, local storage, and other tracking technologies on our website at yourhairandwig.com (the "Site"). We are based in the United States and sell wigs, lace front wigs, hair extensions, weaves, closures, frontals, and hair care products. We currently ship to customers in the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
Because we offer goods to residents of Ireland and the United Kingdom, our cookie and tracking practices are also governed by EU and UK data protection law even though we have no physical establishment in either territory — a point of law explained further in the "EU & UK Representatives" box on this page. When you browse our product pages, add items to your cart, proceed through checkout, or interact with any feature of our Site, various tracking technologies may be activated. This policy tells you precisely which technologies are used, what data they collect, how long that data is retained, who it is shared with, and how you can exercise your rights to limit or stop tracking entirely — using the consent standard that applies in your own country.
This policy forms part of our overall Privacy Policy and should be read alongside our Terms of Service. If you have any questions about how we use cookies on our Site, please contact us at info@yourhairandwig.com or call us at +1 561-810-0428.
Applicable Laws & Standards
Our cookie and tracking practices are governed by the following primary legal authorities across the six countries we ship to:
- United States: CCPA/CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.), FTC Act § 5, COPPA, plus state laws in VA, CO, CT, TX and others
- Canada: PIPEDA (S.C. 2000, c. 5), CASL (S.C. 2010, c. 23), Quebec Law 25, Alberta & BC PIPA
- United Kingdom: UK GDPR, Data Protection Act 2018, PECR (as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025)
- Ireland & EU: EU GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), Irish Data Protection Act 2018, ePrivacy Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 336 of 2011)
- Australia: Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) & the Australian Privacy Principles, Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024, Spam Act 2003
- New Zealand: Privacy Act 2020 (13 Information Privacy Principles), Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007
What Are Cookies & Tracking Technologies?
Before describing which specific technologies we use, it is important to understand what these tools are and how they work on your device.
HTTP Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language, your shopping cart contents, or whether you have already logged in. Cookies cannot execute programs or deliver viruses to your device; they simply store text data that your browser sends back to the originating website on your next visit.
Cookies are classified as either session cookies (deleted automatically when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain on your device for a defined period even after your browser is closed). We use both types on this Site.
Pixels & Web Beacons
A pixel (also called a web beacon or tracking pixel) is a tiny, invisible 1×1 image embedded in a webpage or email. When your browser loads the page or email, it sends an HTTP request to the server hosting that image, and that request can include information such as your IP address, browser type, the time of the request, and the URL of the page where the pixel is embedded.
We use pixels placed by Meta (Facebook), TikTok, and our Shopify analytics platform. These pixels help us understand whether our advertising campaigns are reaching the right audiences across all six of the countries we ship to.
Local Storage & Session Storage
HTML5 local storage and session storage are browser-based storage mechanisms that allow websites to save data directly in your browser without using cookies. Unlike cookies, local storage data is never automatically sent to our servers with each HTTP request — it is stored entirely in your browser. We use these technologies through Shopify's platform primarily to maintain your shopping cart state, remember your recently viewed products, and preserve your preferences during a browsing session.
First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
A first-party cookie is set directly by our website (yourhairandwig.com) and can only be read by our Site. A third-party cookie is set by an external domain — for example, Meta, TikTok, or another service provider — and can be read by that external service across other websites you may visit. We use both types, and all third-party cookie providers are listed explicitly in this policy.
How Shopify Processes Tracking Data
Our website is hosted and operated on the Shopify e-commerce platform. Shopify itself places certain cookies and tracking technologies as part of the core store infrastructure. When you interact with our checkout, cart, or payment processing systems, you are interacting with Shopify's infrastructure. Shopify is certified under SOC 2 Type II and PCI DSS Level 1, and maintains its own Data Processing Addendum covering transfers of EU, UK, Australian, and New Zealand customer data.
Data We Do NOT Collect Through Cookies
Our cookies and tracking technologies do not collect or store your payment card numbers, full social security or national insurance numbers, or government-issued identification numbers. Payment processing is handled entirely by Shopify Payments and other PCI-compliant third-party payment processors, which use their own secure tokenization systems independent of cookies.
The Four Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify every cookie and tracking technology used on yourhairandwig.com into one of the following four categories. The first category is strictly necessary and cannot be disabled without breaking core website functionality. The remaining three categories are optional — but how we obtain your permission for them depends on where you are visiting from. See the "How We Obtain Consent, by Region" section below for the exact standard that applies to you.
Category 1: Strictly Necessary Cookies
Cannot Be DisabledStrictly necessary cookies are essential for yourhairandwig.com to function as an e-commerce store. Without these cookies, core features such as your shopping cart, secure checkout, login sessions, fraud prevention, and payment processing would not work. Because they are essential to the operation of the Site, these cookies are exempt from consent requirements under PECR, the ePrivacy Regulations, the Australian Spam Act, and equivalent US/Canadian rules, and are activated automatically. You can block these cookies at the browser level, but doing so will prevent you from completing a purchase.

Category 2: Functional / Preference Cookies
Optional — Consent Required in UK, Ireland & EUFunctional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made — such as your preferred currency, your delivery country (out of the six we ship to), recently viewed products, and other settings that make browsing more convenient. If you disable functional cookies, our Site will continue to work but some personalized features will reset each visit.
| Cookie Name | Set By | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_landing_page |
Shopify | Tracks which page on our Site a visitor first landed on in their current session; used to improve navigation and content relevance | 2 weeks | Functional |
_shopify_fs |

preferred_currency |
Shopify | Saves your selected currency (USD, CAD, AUD, EUR, NZD, or GBP) so prices are displayed consistently across your session and return visits | Session | Functional |
Category 3: Analytics & Performance Cookies
Optional — Consent Required in UK, Ireland & EUAnalytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are visited most often, where visitors drop off during checkout, and whether our site performs well across devices. We use Shopify's built-in analytics platform. The data collected is not sold to any third party and is not used to identify you personally.
UK Note — Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 Analytics Exemption
Since 5 February 2026, UK law (PECR as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025) exempts cookies used solely for first-party aggregate statistical purposes from the consent requirement, provided strict conditions are met (the data is not used for advertising, is not shared outside our organization, and users are informed and can opt out). Because our Shopify analytics cookies are cross-referenced with order and attribution data and are not purely first-party aggregate statistics, we continue to treat them as requiring consent for UK visitors to stay on the safe side of this exemption.
| Cookie Name | Set By | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_shopify_evids |
Shopify Analytics | Tracks page view events during a browsing session to generate session-level analytics; no personal identifiers are stored | Session | Analytics |

Category 4: Marketing & Advertising Cookies
Optional — Consent/Opt-In Required in All Six CountriesMarketing and advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements relevant to your interests — including advertisements for our wig, hair extension, weave, and hair care products on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. These cookies track your activity on our Site and share that information with our advertising partners so they can build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads. You can opt out of marketing cookies at any time through your browser settings, platform-specific opt-out tools listed in this policy, or by contacting us directly.
Under the CCPA/CPRA, sharing data with advertising platforms may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. Under UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and the Irish ePrivacy Regulations, placing marketing cookies requires your prior opt-in consent. Under Australia's Spam Act 2003 and Privacy Act 1988, and New Zealand's Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007, using cookie data to send or target commercial electronic messages likewise requires consent. See "Your Rights" below for jurisdiction-specific detail.
| Cookie / Pixel Name | Set By | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_fbp |
Meta (Facebook/Instagram) | Meta's browser ID cookie; identifies your browser across visits to our Site and to other websites that use Meta Pixel; used to measure, optimize, and build audiences for advertising campaigns | 90 days | Marketing |
_fbc |
Meta (Facebook/Instagram) | Stores your last click attribution on a Meta (Facebook or Instagram) ad; connects your ad click to a purchase or other conversion event on our Site | 90 days | Marketing |

tt_pixel_session_index |
TikTok Pixel | TikTok's session-level pixel cookie; tracks page views and add-to-cart events during your session for TikTok advertising measurement | Session | Marketing |
_ttp |
TikTok Pixel | TikTok's persistent pixel cookie; identifies your browser across visits and ties your behavior on our Site to TikTok ad campaigns; used for conversion attribution | 1 year | Marketing |
| Meta Pixel (Server-Side) | Meta Conversions API | Server-side event data (add to cart, purchase, page view) sent directly from Shopify's servers to Meta's Conversions API; transmits hashed order and browsing data to Meta for ad measurement purposes | N/A (server-side) | Marketing |
Meta Conversions API — Server-Side Data Sharing Notice
In addition to the client-side Meta Pixel, our Shopify store uses Meta's Conversions API (CAPI) to send certain conversion events directly from our server to Meta. This server-side integration means that even if your browser blocks the Meta Pixel cookie, some event data may still be transmitted to Meta in hashed form. This includes your hashed email address, hashed phone number, IP address, browser user agent, and details of the product purchased, used solely for advertising measurement and conversion optimization. You can opt out by contacting us at info@yourhairandwig.com.
How We Obtain & Manage Your Consent, By Region
The legal standard for cookie consent is not the same in every country we ship to. We apply the strictest applicable standard to each visitor based on their location.
When you first visit yourhairandwig.com, a cookie consent banner is displayed at the bottom of your screen. This banner explains the four categories of cookies we use, provides a brief description of each category's purpose, and gives you clear controls to accept all cookies, customize your preferences by category, or reject all optional cookies.
Opt-In (Prior Consent) Model — UK, Ireland & EU Visitors
For visitors in the United Kingdom and Ireland, functional, analytics, and marketing cookies are not activated until you affirmatively opt in through our consent banner, as required by UK GDPR, EU GDPR, PECR, and the Irish ePrivacy Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 336 of 2011). Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous — pre-ticked boxes or "continuing to browse" are never treated as valid consent. You may accept some categories and reject others.
Opt-Out Model — United States & Canada
For US and Canadian visitors, functional and analytics cookies may load on your first visit under a legitimate-interest or implied-consent basis, and our banner gives you the ability to reject them going forward. Marketing/advertising cookies are treated as requiring express consent for Canadian visitors under CASL and Quebec Law 25, and as subject to an opt-out right for US visitors under CCPA/CPRA and other state privacy laws.
Active/Opt-In Consent — Australia & New Zealand
Australia's Privacy Act 1988 and Spam Act 2003, and New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020 and Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007, require clear and active consent before using cookie data to send commercial electronic messages or targeted advertising, and current OAIC and Privacy Commissioner guidance favors clear "Accept" / "Manage Preferences" choices over implied consent. As a matter of policy, we present the same opt-in banner to Australian and New Zealand visitors as we do to UK, Irish, and EU visitors.
Withdrawing Consent
You may withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser's cookies, using your browser's cookie management controls, updating your preferences through our banner, or contacting us directly. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any tracking that occurred prior to your withdrawal. We process withdrawal requests within 15 business days (US/Canada) or without undue delay and in any case within one month (UK/Ireland/EU), consistent with the timelines in the "Your Rights" section below.
Children's Data — Age Thresholds by Country
Our website is not directed at children. The age below which parental consent applies to data collection differs by country: United States — under 13 (COPPA); United Kingdom — under 13 (UK GDPR); Ireland/EU — under 16 (Irish Data Protection Act 2018, Section 31, exercising the GDPR Article 8 member-state option); Canada — PIPEDA has no fixed statutory age but treats consent from anyone who cannot meaningfully understand the consequences of consent as invalid; Australia — the Privacy Act does not set a fixed age, though OAIC guidance and the forthcoming Children's Online Privacy Code (due by 10 December 2026) will introduce specific protections; New Zealand — the Privacy Act 2020 applies regardless of age, with the Privacy Commissioner recommending organizations assess a child's maturity. We do not knowingly collect personal information from or set advertising cookies for anyone under these applicable thresholds. If you believe a child has provided personal information to our Site, contact us immediately at info@yourhairandwig.com so we can delete it.

Cookie Preferences — Your Hair And Wig
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and personalize content and advertising. Choose to accept all cookies, customize your preferences by category, or reject all optional cookies. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled.
How to Reset Your Consent Preferences
You may: (1) clear your browser's cookies for this domain, which will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit; (2) use your browser's privacy or incognito mode; or (3) contact us at info@yourhairandwig.com to request manual removal of your stored preference from our records.
Third-Party Services That Place Cookies on Our Site
We work with a limited number of trusted third-party service providers who may place cookies or tracking technologies on your device.

Legal Compliance for Cookies & Tracking, By Country
Because we ship to the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, our cookie and tracking practices must comply with the specific legal frameworks of all six countries. Below is a detailed country-by-country breakdown.
- CCPA & CPRA — Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100: Right to know, right to opt out of "sale"/"sharing," right to delete, right to non-discrimination. We provide a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" mechanism.
- FTC Act § 5 (15 U.S.C. § 45): Prohibits unfair or deceptive cookie disclosures. This policy is our full and accurate disclosure.
- COPPA (15 U.S.C. § 6501 et seq.): Our Site is not directed at children under 13; we do not place advertising cookies on their devices.
- Other State Laws (VA CDPA, CO CPA, CT CTDPA, TX TDPSA): We extend opt-out and deletion rights for cookie-based tracking to residents of all states with enacted comprehensive privacy laws.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC): Recognized as a valid opt-out signal under CCPA/CPRA.
- PIPEDA (S.C. 2000, c. 5): Cookies must be collected with knowledge and consent, used only for disclosed purposes, and retained no longer than necessary.
- CASL (S.C. 2010, c. 23): Non-essential cookies are treated as requiring express consent before being placed on a Canadian visitor's device.
- Quebec Law 25 (in force since September 2023): Requires disclosure of technologies used, purposes, and third parties, plus express consent before non-essential cookies are placed.
- Alberta PIPA & British Columbia PIPA: Provincial private-sector laws with consent and transparency requirements substantially similar to PIPEDA.
- OPC Guidance: We follow the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada's published guidance on meaningful consent for online tracking.
- UK GDPR & Data Protection Act 2018: Requires a lawful basis for processing personal data collected via cookies; consent is our lawful basis for functional, analytics, and marketing cookies.
- PECR, as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025: Requires prior opt-in consent before placing non-essential cookies. Since 5 February 2026, narrow exemptions exist for purely first-party aggregate statistics and appearance/preference cookies, which we do not currently rely on (see the note in the "Cookie Categories" section above).
- ICO Guidance: Our banner gives "Reject" equal prominence to "Accept," and non-essential cookies do not fire before you make a choice, consistent with ICO expectations.
- UK GDPR Article 27 Representative: As a US company with no UK establishment that offers goods to UK residents, we maintain a UK representative for data protection purposes (see the box below).
- EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679): Applies to us under Article 3(2) because we offer goods to individuals in Ireland/the EU. Consent, transparency, and data subject rights obligations apply in full.
- Irish Data Protection Act 2018: Sets Ireland's digital age of consent at 16 and establishes the Data Protection Commission (DPC) as the supervisory authority.
- ePrivacy Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 336 of 2011): Ireland's implementation of the ePrivacy Directive; requires clear, specific, prior consent before storing or accessing information on an Irish user's device, except for strictly necessary cookies.
- GDPR Article 27 Representative: As a US company with no EU establishment that offers goods to EU residents, we maintain an EU representative for data protection purposes (see the box below).
- Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) & Australian Privacy Principles (APPs): Governs collection, use, and disclosure of personal information, including via cookies. APP 6 limits use of information collected for one purpose (e.g., site function) to a new purpose (e.g., advertising) without consent.
- Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024: Introduced a statutory tort for serious invasions of privacy (in force since June 2025), a Children's Online Privacy Code (due by 10 December 2026), and new transparency requirements for automated decision-making (in force 10 December 2026) that will apply to any automated ad-targeting decisions we make using cookie data.
- Spam Act 2003: Requires consent before sending commercial electronic messages and before using tracking data to build marketing audiences for such messages.
- OAIC Enforcement: The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner is the regulator for Privacy Act and Spam Act compliance.
- Privacy Act 2020 — 13 Information Privacy Principles (IPPs): Applies to us because we offer goods to individuals in New Zealand. IPP 1–4 govern purpose, collection, and manner of collecting cookie data; IPP 10–11 restrict using or disclosing it for unrelated purposes without consent.
- IPP 12 — Cross-Border Disclosure: Restricts sending New Zealand personal data overseas unless the recipient is subject to comparable privacy safeguards or the individual has been informed and has authorized the transfer (see "Cross-Border Data Transfers" below).
- Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007: Requires consent before sending commercial electronic messages, relevant to how we use marketing-cookie data for retargeting and email/SMS campaigns.
- Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) Guidance: We follow published OPC guidance on cookie transparency and honor the Do Not Track browser signal where technically supported.
EU & UK Representatives — GDPR / UK GDPR Article 27
Because Your Hair And Wig has no physical office, subsidiary, or establishment in the European Union or the United Kingdom but offers goods to residents of Ireland and the UK, both the EU GDPR and the UK GDPR require us, subject to limited exemptions, to designate a representative in each territory that data subjects and regulators can contact in addition to us directly. We are in the process of formalizing these appointments; in the meantime, EU and UK data subjects may direct any GDPR-related inquiry to info@yourhairandwig.com, and we will respond within the statutory timeframes set out in "Your Rights" below. We will publish the appointed representatives' contact details on this page once finalized.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information — California, Colorado, Virginia & Other State Residents
Residents of California and other US states with enacted comprehensive privacy laws have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. Our use of Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and Meta Conversions API to share your browsing and purchase behavior with advertising platforms may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" under applicable state law. To exercise this right, contact us at info@yourhairandwig.com with the subject line "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information," or call +1 561-810-0428. We will process your request within 15 business days and will not discriminate against you for exercising this right.
Your Rights Regarding Cookies & Tracking Data
Depending on which of the six countries you are visiting from, you may have one or more of the following rights with respect to personal information collected about you through cookies. We honor all applicable rights without requiring you to create an account or pay any fee.
Right to Know / Access
Available in all six countries. You may request a copy of the categories of personal information collected through cookies, why it was collected, and who it was shared with (US, Canada, UK/EU/Ireland, Australia, New Zealand).
Right to Delete / Erasure
Available under CCPA/CPRA, PIPEDA, UK/EU GDPR ("right to be forgotten"), and honored as best practice under the Australian Privacy Act and NZ Privacy Act. We will instruct Shopify, Meta, and TikTok to delete your data where technically feasible.
Right to Opt Out / Object
US/state law: opt out of "sale"/"sharing." Canada/CASL: withdraw express consent. UK/EU/Ireland: object to processing based on legitimate interest and withdraw consent at any time. Australia/NZ: opt out of direct marketing and targeted advertising under the Spam Act, Privacy Act, and Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act.
Right to Rectification & Correction
UK/EU/Ireland GDPR right to have inaccurate data corrected; PIPEDA and Australian/NZ privacy law give equivalent correction rights over any personal information tied to your cookie data.
Right to Data Portability
UK/EU/Ireland GDPR right to receive personal information you provided to us, in a structured, commonly used format, and to have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to Restrict Processing
UK/EU/Ireland GDPR right to request that we limit how we use your data while a dispute about its accuracy or lawfulness is resolved.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
UK/EU/Ireland GDPR Article 22 gives you the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including certain ad-profiling) that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Australia's forthcoming automated decision-making disclosure requirement (effective 10 December 2026) will apply similarly.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
In addition to contacting us, you may lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority at any time — see the "Supervisory Authorities" table in the Contact section below.
Response Timelines for Privacy Rights Requests
We acknowledge privacy rights requests within 3 business days of receipt and provide a substantive response within: CCPA/CPRA (California): 45 days, extendable by 45 days. PIPEDA (Canada): 30 days, extendable by 30 days. Quebec Law 25: 30 days. UK GDPR & EU GDPR (UK/Ireland): one month, extendable by a further two months for complex requests. Australia (Privacy Act 1988): the Act does not set a fixed statutory deadline but requires a response within a "reasonable period"; we aim to respond within 30 days. New Zealand (Privacy Act 2020): 20 working days for access and correction requests, extendable in limited circumstances. All requests should be submitted to info@yourhairandwig.com with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request."
How to Opt Out of Cookies & Tracking
You have several ways to opt out of non-essential cookies and tracking on yourhairandwig.com, wherever you are shopping from.
Browser Cookie Settings
Every major browser provides built-in controls to block, delete, or manage cookies. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent our checkout and cart features from functioning. Direct links to cookie management instructions:
Platform-Level & Regulator Opt-Outs
Opt out of advertising tracking directly through the platforms and industry bodies we work with — these opt-outs affect how those platforms use your data across all websites, not just ours:
- Meta (Facebook/Instagram): Meta Ad Preferences Center
- TikTok: Settings → Privacy → Ads → Off-Platform Advertising
- NAI Opt-Out (US): optout.networkadvertising.org
- DAA Opt-Out (US): optout.aboutads.info
- DAA Canada: youradchoices.ca/choices
- YourOnlineChoices (EU): youronlinechoices.eu
Contact Us Directly
To opt out of specific tracking technologies, exercise your rights under any applicable law, or request manual deletion of cookie-derived data, contact us:
- Email: info@yourhairandwig.com
- Phone: +1 561-810-0428
- Contact Page: yourhairandwig.com/pages/contact
- Hours: Monday – Saturday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM EST
Global Privacy Control (GPC) & Do Not Track Signals
We support the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal as a valid opt-out of the "sale"/"sharing" of personal information under CCPA/CPRA, and we honor it for all visitors as a matter of policy, including in the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, where it is treated as equivalent to withdrawing consent for marketing cookies. Where your browser sends a legacy "Do Not Track" signal, we treat it the same way, consistent with guidance published by the UK ICO and the New Zealand Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
Cross-Border Data Transfers
Because we are based in the United States and our service providers (Shopify, Meta, TikTok) process data primarily in the US, personal information collected via cookies from visitors in Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand is transferred internationally. The safeguards that apply depend on your country.
UK & Ireland/EU → United States
Transfers of personal data from the EU to US organizations can rely on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF) where the US recipient is self-certified, and transfers from the UK can rely on the UK Extension to the DPF (the "UK-US Data Bridge"). Where a service provider is not DPF-certified, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), with the UK International Data Transfer Addendum for UK transfers, as our transfer mechanism. We are working with our service providers to confirm and document the specific mechanism relied upon for each transfer.
Ongoing Legal Developments
The EU-U.S. DPF's adequacy decision has been challenged in EU courts (commentators refer to this as a potential "Schrems III" case); as of this policy's effective date the framework remains valid, but the challenge is pending on appeal before the Court of Justice of the European Union. We monitor developments and will update our transfer mechanisms and this policy if the DPF or the UK-US Data Bridge is suspended, invalidated, or replaced.
Australia & New Zealand → United States
Under APP 8 of the Australian Privacy Act 1988, before disclosing personal information overseas we must take reasonable steps to ensure the overseas recipient does not breach the APPs in relation to that information, or another APP 8.2 exception must apply; we address this through contractual commitments with Shopify, Meta, and TikTok. Under IPP 12 of the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, cross-border disclosure requires that the recipient be subject to comparable privacy safeguards (whether by law or contract), or that you have been expressly informed the receiving country may not offer equivalent protection and have authorized the disclosure on that basis — which this policy, read together with our consent banner, is intended to provide.
Canada → United States
PIPEDA permits transfers to processors outside Canada provided we remain accountable for the data and use contractual or other means to provide comparable protection. Quebec Law 25 requires a privacy impact assessment before certain cross-border transfers of Quebec residents' personal information, which we conduct for new service-provider integrations that process cookie data.
How Long We Retain Cookie Data
The data collected through cookies and tracking technologies is retained for varying periods depending on the purpose of the tracking and the specific cookie involved. Individual cookie durations are listed in the tables above. In general, we apply the following principles:
-
Session Data
Data stored in session cookies and browser session storage is deleted automatically when you close your browser or tab.
-
Persistent Cookie Data on Your Device
Persistent cookies remain on your device until their individual expiration dates (ranging from 30 minutes to 20 years, as specified above) or until you manually delete them.
-
Analytics Data on Our Servers
Aggregated analytics data derived from cookie tracking is retained in our Shopify analytics dashboard for up to 36 months. This data is statistical and aggregated, not individually identifiable.
-
Third-Party Platform Retention
Data shared with Meta and TikTok is retained according to those platforms' own retention policies, which we do not control. See their privacy policies linked in the "Third-Party Services" section.
How We Protect Cookie Data
Our Site is served over HTTPS (TLS 1.2 or higher), encrypting all data transmitted between your browser and our server, including cookie identifiers. Shopify cookies that reference your customer account or checkout session are marked with the Secure and HttpOnly flags where applicable.
We conduct periodic reviews of the cookies active on our Site to ensure all listed cookies are current across all six markets and no unauthorized tracking technologies have been introduced through third-party scripts or app integrations.
Storage Duration Minimization
Where a jurisdiction's law recommends or requires a maximum cookie lifetime (for example, CNIL/EU regulator guidance suggesting 13 months for non-essential cookies), we review our cookie durations periodically and adjust marketing and analytics cookie lifetimes for EU, UK, and Irish visitors where appropriate.
