Cookie Policy
Note: this is a starting draft describing the cookies the store currently uses. Have it reviewed by a legal professional and keep it in step with any analytics or marketing tools you add before going live.
This Cookie Policy explains how Shiny Labs uses cookies and similar technologies (such as browser storage) when you visit our store. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your actions and preferences (such as the contents of your basket) and help us understand how the store is used.
Cookies we use
We group cookies into the categories below. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the store cannot function without them. All other categories are off by default and are only set if you consent via our cookie banner.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| shinylabs_cart_id | Shiny Labs (first-party) | Remembers your basket between visits. | Strictly necessary | 30 days |
| shinylabs_cookie_consent | Shiny Labs (first-party) | Stores your cookie preferences. | Strictly necessary | 6 months |
| _shopify_*, cart, checkout, _secure_session_id | Shopify | Power the secure checkout, fraud prevention and session handling. | Strictly necessary | Session - 1 year |
| _shopify_y, _shopify_s, _y, _s | Shopify | Measure store and checkout usage (analytics). | Analytics | Up to 1 year |
Checkout takes place on Shopify's secure infrastructure, which sets its own cookies. The analytics cookies above are only used where you have given consent.
Managing your preferences
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though the store may not work correctly without the strictly necessary cookies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as the store evolves. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
