3. Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on the visitor’s computer by their web browser.

They are also used to collect data about their visit to be used by the website operator to improve their service.

Google Analytics cookies

We use Google Analytics to monitor how visitors move around the website, how they reached it, and other dimensions and metrics. The information received cannot be used to identify the visitor personally. To collect this information, it is necessary for Google Analytics to set cookies.

Shopify cookies

We use Shopify to manage our online sales. Shopify sets cookies so the contents of a visitor’s shopping cart is “remembered” as they move around the website, or when they come back later.
