Cookies

Like many websites, we use Cookies on our Site. For specific
information about the Cookies that we use related to powering our
store with Shopify, see https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies.
We use Cookies to power and improve our Site and our Services
(including to remember your actions and preferences), to run
analytics and better understand user interaction with the Services
(in our legitimate interests to administer, improve and optimize the
Services). We may also permit third parties and services providers to
use Cookies on our Site to better tailor the services, products and
advertising on our Site and other websites.

Most browsers automatically accept Cookies by default, but you can
choose to set your browser to remove or reject Cookies through your
browser controls. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking
Cookies can negatively impact your user experience and may cause some
of the Services, including certain features and general
functionality, to work incorrectly or no longer be available.
Additionally, blocking Cookies may not completely prevent how we
share information with third parties such as our advertising
partners.

Our website also recognizes the Global Privacy Control (GPC)
signal, which enables you to opt-out of certain uses or disclosures
of your information. If you notify us of your preference through GPC,
we will treat such signal as a valid request to opt out of sharing /
targeted advertising for the associated browser or device, and, if we
are able to associate the device sending the signal to a Shopify
account, we will apply the opt out request to the account as well. To
learn more about Global Privacy Control, you can visit
https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.
Other than the Global Privacy Control, we do not recognize other “Do
Not Track” signals that may be sent from your web browser or
device.
