Cookie Policy
A clearer view of the small technologies that help the store work.
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies support the Shiplexia website. Some are needed for shopping functions, while others can help remember preferences, understand site use, or support advertising where enabled.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small data file stored by a website in a browser or on a device. Similar technologies can store or access information in other ways to support website functions and understand interactions.
- First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting.
- Third-party cookies are set by a service used on the website.
- Session cookies usually expire when a browsing session ends.
- Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until removed.
2. Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary technologies support core functions that you request when using the store. They help the website operate and support essential shopping steps.
- Remembering items placed in the shopping cart.
- Supporting checkout and session continuity.
- Maintaining security and preventing misuse.
- Remembering a privacy or consent choice where the tool requires it.
3. Preference and functional cookies
Preference technologies can remember choices that make a visit more convenient. They are separate from the basic functions needed to complete a purchase.
- Remembering selected site preferences where available.
- Keeping certain interface settings consistent between pages.
- Reducing the need to re-enter the same preference during a visit.
- Supporting features that depend on a saved choice.
4. Analytics cookies
Analytics technologies help understand how visitors use a website, such as which pages are viewed and whether a page or feature is working as expected. Their use depends on the tools enabled on the store and applicable consent requirements.
- Reviewing general page activity and navigation patterns.
- Understanding which store features are useful.
- Identifying technical errors and performance issues.
- Using aggregated information to improve the shopping experience.
5. Advertising cookies
Where advertising technologies are enabled, they can help measure campaigns or support relevant advertising. These technologies may involve information about a browser, device, or interaction with the store.
- Advertising technologies are not required to place an order.
- Non-essential advertising cookies are used only as permitted by applicable law.
- Available opt-out and privacy choices are described in the privacy pages.
- The use of a third-party tool is governed by its own privacy information as well.
6. Third-party technologies
Some website functions are provided by outside services. Those services may use their own cookies or similar technologies according to their privacy and cookie notices.
- A payment provider may support checkout functions.
- A carrier service may provide shipment tracking.
- Analytics or advertising services may operate when enabled.
- Review the relevant provider’s notice when you leave the Shiplexia website.
7. Consent and legal requirements
Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential cookies, those technologies should not be activated before the required choice is obtained. Strictly necessary technologies are treated separately where the law permits. Shopify's native cookie banner and Customer Privacy tools manage consent for Shopify services; third-party apps, pixels, and manually added scripts must be configured separately to respect the same choices.
- Consent should be clear and based on meaningful information.
- Accepting optional cookies should not be required to browse basic store content where the law says otherwise.
- You can change or withdraw consent through the available preference controls where applicable.
- The website's consent controls should reflect the technologies actually enabled, including relevant third-party tools.
8. Managing cookie choices
Use the Shopify Cookie preferences controls in the store footer to reopen the preference center and review or change optional cookie choices. The available controls cover preference, analytics, and marketing consent for Shopify-managed services. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, although blocking necessary cookies may affect shopping functions.
- Select Cookie preferences in the store footer to reopen the preference controls.
- Review optional preference, analytics, and marketing categories separately.
- Change or withdraw a choice through the preference controls where applicable.
- Browser settings can delete or block stored cookies, but blocking necessary cookies may affect cart, checkout, or sign-in functions.
9. GDPR and visitors in Europe
Where the GDPR and related cookie rules apply, non-essential cookies that require consent are used only after a valid choice. Consent can be withdrawn as easily as it was given through the available preference controls.
- The GDPR’s territorial scope depends on the circumstances described in the Privacy Policy.
- Strictly necessary technologies are treated according to applicable exemptions.
- You can object to or withdraw consent for optional technologies where the law provides that right.
- Read the Privacy Policy for broader information about personal-data processing.
