Cookie Policy
An explanation of browser technologies, platform cookies and privacy choices associated with this Shopify-based website.
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small pieces of information a website or provider can place in your browser. They can help operate a service, preserve a preference, support security or measure activity. Similar technologies can include local storage, session storage, pixels, embedded resources and device identifiers. The appropriate treatment depends on what the technology does, rather than simply on its name.
This policy separates the supplied DEVELOPMENT presentation sections from the Shopify platform, theme and any apps that the merchant enables. The exact technologies running on a published storefront depend on its configuration. A statement about these custom sections is not a statement that the entire hosting platform never uses cookies.
2. Technologies in the custom sections
The supplied DEVELOPMENT sections use JavaScript to open navigation, filter services, expand details, switch explanatory text and prepare a project brief. These interactions run within the page. The supplied code does not create its own analytics cookies, advertising identifiers, tracking pixels or session recording tools.
The local project brief and reference code are held in the current page memory. The supplied code does not write their contents to cookies, local storage or session storage. When the page is reloaded or closed, the in-page brief may be lost. Browser autofill, history and clipboard behavior are separate functions controlled by the browser, device and other software.
3. Shopify and storefront operations
Shopify may use technologies needed for hosting, security, session operation, privacy preferences or other enabled platform functions. If a storefront also uses accounts, cart or checkout features, those features can introduce additional operational technologies even though the DEVELOPMENT project form does not process orders or payments.
Platform cookie names, durations and purposes can change. Their use may vary with region, account state, checkout activity and merchant settings. The merchant should review Shopify’s current cookie information and the actual storefront configuration before making a precise cookie inventory or enabling additional functionality. This notice does not invent a fixed list of cookies that has not been observed on the deployed store.
4. Essential functionality and preferences
Some technologies are necessary to provide a requested service, protect the website or remember a privacy choice. Blocking all cookies may affect those functions. Preference technologies can remember choices such as an account setting or a display option when those features exist. The supplied DEVELOPMENT sections do not add a persistent theme preference or language preference.
Where consent is legally required for a particular non-essential technology, that technology should remain disabled until the relevant choice has been obtained through a properly configured mechanism. A button that merely hides a banner is not a substitute for controlling the underlying technology. Consent requirements depend on the user, location and processing involved.
5. Analytics and advertising
The supplied package does not include Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, advertising conversion tags, heatmaps or behavioral replay scripts. That does not prevent a Shopify merchant from having separately enabled platform analytics, network features or apps. Those services must be assessed at the storefront level, with appropriate disclosures and controls.
If analytics or advertising features are added later, this policy should be updated to identify their purposes, providers and relevant choices. Where Shopify customer privacy tools are used, the banner and any consent app should be integrated with the platform’s privacy settings so a choice affects collection. The existence of this Cookie Policy alone does not configure or block a third-party app.
6. Fonts, images and resource requests
The design requests Inter, Manrope and IBM Plex Mono typography from Google Fonts. An external font request can disclose routine connection information such as IP address and browser request details to that provider. A resource request is relevant to privacy even when it does not place a cookie. A system font fallback is used if the external font cannot load.
The supplied photo and brand files are intended to be uploaded to Shopify and served through Shopify file URLs. These requests are needed to display the page content. Adding remote video players, maps, social widgets or other embedded services can introduce new requests or storage, so those features should be assessed before installation. The supplied sections do not include those embeds.
7. Managing choices
You can manage cookie settings through your browser, including reviewing stored cookies, removing them, blocking selected providers or clearing site data. Browser menus differ, and private browsing is not a guarantee that no technical information is processed. Deleting cookies may also remove a stored privacy choice and cause a configured banner to ask again.
If a Shopify privacy banner or preference control is displayed for your region, use that control to express or revise the available choices. The actual control depends on the merchant’s privacy configuration and installed apps. We do not present a decorative cookie button that claims to change settings without being connected to the underlying platform.
8. Opt-out signals and third-party behavior
Some laws recognize browser-based opt-out signals for defined purposes, such as sale or targeted advertising. Whether a particular signal must be honored depends on the applicable law and processing. The supplied custom sections do not implement sale or targeted advertising. Platform-level handling should be configured through the appropriate Shopify tools and reviewed when additional tracking is enabled.
Third-party providers operate under their own terms and privacy practices. We cannot promise that every browser extension, network service or external platform will use the same retention period or choice mechanism. Contact us if you observe a technology that appears inconsistent with this notice, including the page, date and details of what you observed.
9. Updates and questions
This notice may change when the website’s hosting configuration, resource delivery or enabled tools change. The last updated date identifies the current wording. Material changes that require additional notice or consent should be addressed before the affected processing begins.
