What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your actions and preferences (like what is in your cart), understand how visitors use the site, and, where you have agreed, support marketing. We also use similar technologies such as pixels and local storage; this policy covers them all.
Cookies on our store
Our store runs on Shopify, so most cookies here are placed by Shopify to make the store work. A few come from our marketing provider, Klaviyo, and our advertising and measurement partners (listed below). Here is what each category does.

Advertising and measurement pixels
These providers have active pixels on our store. They may set their own cookies and collect information about your browsing and purchases to measure performance and support advertising. Each acts under its own privacy policy:
- Meta (Facebook & Instagram). Read the Meta Privacy Policy.
- Google (through our Google & YouTube channel, which includes Google Analytics measurement). Read the Google Privacy Policy.
- Pinterest. Read the Pinterest Privacy Policy.
- TikTok. Read the TikTok Privacy Policy.
- Microsoft. Read the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
- Roku. Read the Roku Privacy Policy.
One note: our Facebook and Instagram accounts are currently disabled, so we are not running ads there, but the Meta pixel remains active on the store.
How we use this information
We and our providers use cookies and pixels to: operate checkout and your cart; remember your preferences; analyze how the store performs; detect and prevent fraud; and, with your consent where required, support marketing, including abandoned-cart reminders by email or text.
Your choices and consent
- Cookie preferences popup: When you visit our site, you will see a cookie preferences popup where you can accept all cookies, decline all optional cookies, or choose by category (Required, Personalization, Marketing, Analytics).
- Browser settings: You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Learn how at allaboutcookies.org. Please note that blocking cookies, especially strictly necessary ones, may break parts of the store, including your cart and checkout.
- Do Not Track: Our store does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our practices or providers change, for example, if we start or stop using an advertising pixel. We will post updates here with a revised "Last Updated" date.
