Operate checkout.
Maintain security.
Provide services that you request.

The cookie banner may allow you to:

Accept all cookies.
Reject non-essential cookies.
Customise individual cookie categories.

Save your preferences.

Where legally required, the option to reject non-essential cookies should be clear and reasonably easy to use.

A privacy or cookie icon, where available.

Whether Google Analytics or Google Ads is enabled.
Whether Meta Pixel or another advertising platform is enabled.
The payment provider used.

Our cookie banner or cookie-preference tool may display a cookie list based on current settings or the latest available cookie scan.

Because cookies and applications may be updated, the list displayed in the cookie-management tool takes priority over a static list where there is a difference.

You should still be able to access core areas of the website.
The essential basket and checkout functions may continue to work.
We may receive less analytics information.

25. Do Not Track

There is currently no single standard that is recognised and applied by every website and platform for this signal.

Gift for Gardeners primarily manages your choices through our cookie banner, Shopify privacy settings and the privacy tools made available on our website.

26. Global Privacy Control

Some browsers or browser extensions may send a Global Privacy Control signal or another signal requesting that data sharing be restricted.

Where legally required and where Shopify or our providers are configured to recognise such a signal, we may treat it as an opt-out request for applicable sharing or advertising activities.

Information collected through cookies may be transferred to:

The United States.
Canada.
