How We Use Your Personal Information

Shopify may match your account with other Shopify services you choose to use per Shopify’s privacy policies.

Cookies
We use Cookies to power and improve our Site/Services (including remembering preferences), run analytics, and better understand usage. For Shopify‑specific cookies, see shopify.com/legal/cookies.
Most browsers accept Cookies by default, but you can set your browser to remove or reject them. Blocking Cookies may negatively impact your experience or certain features.
Our website recognizes the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If you enable GPC, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of sharing/targeted advertising for the associated browser/device and, where we can associate it to a Shopify account, we apply it to that account as well. Learn more at globalprivacycontrol.org. Other than GPC, we do not currently recognize other “Do Not Track” signals.
