Cookie Notice

Cookies keep your cart together, remember your preferences and help us measure and improve the store. Here is what we use on highprotekstore.com, and how to manage it.

1. Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary — required for the store to function: keeping items in your cart, remembering your session, securing checkout and preventing fraud. Set by Shopify (e.g. _shopify_s, _shopify_y, cart, secure_customer_sig, _secure_session_id) and our payment provider. These cannot be switched off.

Preferences — remember choices such as currency, language and whether you have dismissed a notice (e.g. localization, keep_alive).

Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it: pages viewed, time on page, errors. Set by Shopify analytics and Google Analytics (e.g. _ga, _gid, _shopify_sa_p, _landing_page). Data is aggregated and does not identify you directly.

Advertising — used by Meta (Facebook/Instagram), Google and similar partners to measure our campaigns and show you relevant ads on other sites (e.g. _fbp, _gcl_au). These cookies enable targeted advertising, which you can opt out of below.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

A cookie is a small file that a website stores in your browser so it can recognise you on later pages or visits. Session cookies disappear when you close the browser; persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them. Cookies set by our own domain are first-party; those set by our partners (for example Google or Meta) are third-party. Pixels, tags and local storage work in a similar way and are covered here too.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies from partners appear on our Site for specific jobs: Shopify runs the store and its built-in analytics; Shopify Payments (powered by Stripe) secures payments; Google and Meta measure and deliver advertising; and our review, tracking and email apps support customer service. These companies have their own privacy policies governing what they do with the data; our agreements limit their use to the purposes listed here.

4. Your Choices

You are in control. Everyone can manage cookies in the browser (settings → privacy) — note that disabling essential cookies breaks the cart and checkout. To stop targeted advertising, use the controls on the Cookie preferences page, turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser (we treat it as an opt-out), or use optout.aboutads.info. Google offers a browser add-on to block Google Analytics.

5. Cookie Lifetimes

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies last between 30 minutes (session-tracking) and 13 months (analytics and advertising identifiers), after which they expire unless renewed by a new visit. You can delete any cookie earlier through your browser settings.
