This Cookie Policy explains the types of cookies that may be used by our online store, their purposes, how long they may be stored and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

Remember the contents of a shopping cart.
Maintain sessions required for purchasing.
Ensure that checkout functions correctly.
Manage country and currency preferences.

The PaZe Home & Care online store operates on the Shopify ecommerce platform.

Shopify may use cookies and similar technologies to support the technical operation of the store, the purchasing process and certain additional services.

The technologies used may depend on the store's configuration, the features available and the visitor's consent preferences.

They can support the measurement of:

Website traffic.
Pages visited.
Browsing and purchasing sessions.
Website usage patterns.
Website performance.

The following analytics cookie is listed in Shopify's official documentation:

Cookie Name	Purpose	Duration

Where analytics cookies or similar tracking technologies are not strictly necessary and require consent under applicable law, we will request the visitor's consent before using them.

Rejecting analytics cookies does not prevent visitors from using the essential purchasing functions of the online store.

5. Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies and tracking technologies may be used for purposes including:

Measuring the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
Tracking purchasing conversions.
Evaluating marketing performance.
Supporting personalised advertising activities.

The following marketing cookie is listed in Shopify's official documentation:

Cookie Name	Purpose	Duration

The inclusion of this Shopify cookie does not mean that PaZe Home & Care uses additional services such as Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel or Google Analytics.

If additional marketing or advertising tracking technologies are introduced in the future, this Cookie Policy will be reviewed and updated as necessary.

Marketing and advertising tracking technologies that require consent under applicable law will only be used after the required consent has been obtained.

6. Third-Party Technologies

Shopify acts as a technology service provider for the operation of our online store.

Certain Shopify features and any additional services introduced in the future may involve technologies provided by third parties.

The use of these technologies may depend on the relevant service and its privacy practices.

If additional analytics, advertising or other tracking services are connected to our website in the future, the relevant privacy disclosures and consent settings will be reviewed before implementation.

Where a third-party technology requires prior consent, it will not be used for the relevant purpose without the required consent.

7. Cookie Consent

Visitors can manage their preferences for non-essential cookies through the cookie consent interface displayed on our website.

The available options are:

Accept All: Accept all offered categories of non-essential cookies.
Reject All: Reject non-essential cookies.
Cookie Preferences: Review and manage cookie consent settings in more detail.

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the operation of the online store and cannot be disabled through the website's cookie consent interface.

Consent to non-essential cookies is not assumed merely because a visitor continues browsing the website.

Where prior consent is legally required, cookies or similar technologies requiring that consent will not be used before the appropriate consent has been obtained.

8. Changing Cookie Preferences and Withdrawing Consent

Visitors may change their cookie consent decisions at any time.

The Cookie Preferences feature available on our website allows visitors to reopen their consent settings.

Visitors can modify or withdraw their consent to non-essential cookies through this feature.

Withdrawing consent should be as easy as giving it.

Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of valid consent before its withdrawal.

Cookies already stored in the browser may also be deleted through the browser's settings.

9. Cookie Duration

The duration of cookies varies depending on their purpose.

Some cookies remain stored only for the current browsing session, while others may remain for several days, weeks or longer.

The documented durations of the Shopify cookies listed above are provided in their respective categories.

Shopify may change the cookies it uses, their operation or their duration as its platform develops.

We will review and update this policy where necessary to reflect relevant changes.

10. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most internet browsers allow users to:

View cookies.
Delete cookies.
Restrict cookies.
Block cookies entirely.

Browser cookie settings can be managed independently of the cookie consent settings provided by our website.

However, blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent certain features of the online store from functioning correctly.

11. Cookies and Personal Data

Certain cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of personal data.

Where this occurs, we take into account applicable data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Further information about the processing of personal data is available in the PaZe Home & Care Privacy Policy.

Email marketing subscriptions are managed through a separate consent process.

Accepting cookies does not, by itself, constitute consent to receive marketing emails from PaZe Home & Care.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, particularly if:

Shopify changes the cookies used by merchant storefronts.
We introduce new website features or services.
Additional analytics or marketing tools are connected to the website.
Applicable legal requirements change.

The current version will be available on the PaZe Home & Care website.
