The scan detected Shopify analytics and marketing cookies only after the visitor selected Accept. Installed features can change this list; the policy and consent configuration are reviewed when store apps or tracking tools change.
4. Choices
The consent banner lets visitors accept, refuse or choose non-essential categories. Refusal does not block essential store functions. Choices can later be changed using Cookie preferences in the footer. Browser settings may also delete stored cookies but do not alone provide valid consent.
5. Legal basis
Strictly necessary technologies provide a requested or secure service. Consent is used for non-essential cookies where required. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.
