Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which ones clayaw.com uses, why, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

1. Types of Cookies on This Site

We group our cookies into four categories:

  • Essential (always on): Shopify cookies that run the cart, checkout, login and security, such as cart, _shopify_s, _shopify_y, _secure_session_id, secure_customer_sig.
  • Functional: remember your currency, language and dismissed banners (localization, keep_alive).
  • Performance and analytics: Shopify analytics and Google Analytics cookies (_shopify_sa_p, _landing_page, _ga, _gid) that show us which pages work and which do not, in aggregated form.
  • Marketing: pixels and cookies from Meta and Google (_fbp, _gcl_au) that measure our ads and personalise the ones you see elsewhere; you can opt out at any time.

2. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Some are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies); others stay for a set period (persistent cookies). "First-party" cookies are set by clayaw.com; "third-party" cookies are set by services we use, such as analytics and advertising platforms. We also use similar technologies — pixels, local storage and SDKs — which this policy treats in the same way.

3. Third Parties That Set 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. Retention

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.

5. 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.

6. Questions

Our Privacy Policy explains the wider picture of how Clayaw processes data. If you have a question about cookies, email contact@clayaw.com. This notice is updated whenever our cookies change.
