Cookie Policy
How essential website cookies and optional tools relate to this Shopify-powered site.
Last updated: 08.31.2026 | Louisville, Kentucky
Back to home1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files or identifiers a website or its service provider may store in your browser. Related technologies, such as local storage and similar browser mechanisms, can support security, preferences, navigation, and performance measurements. The presence and purpose of specific cookies depend on the Shopify storefront configuration, your browser, and any integrations actively enabled.
2. Essential site functionality
Shopify may use cookies or comparable identifiers required to deliver the storefront, manage sessions, protect forms, prevent fraud, and maintain essential platform functions. These technologies are generally necessary to operate requested website features. The supplied Valmera custom sections do not include payment collection, advertising pixels, or additional third-party analytics scripts.
3. Cookie notice preference
The website footer provides a notice about essential cookies. Clicking “Got it” stores a local browser preference named vm-cookie-notice so the notice does not repeatedly appear. That value is held in local storage on your device, not in an external marketing database. Clearing local browser storage may cause the notice to reappear.
4. Analytics and optional technologies
Shopify or the active store theme may include analytics, security, or embedded integrations outside the custom website code provided here. The site operator must review the actual Shopify configuration, installed apps, customer privacy settings, and applicable consent requirements before enabling optional analytics or advertising cookies. This policy does not state that optional trackers are in use when their activation has not been confirmed.
5. Choosing cookie preferences
You can manage or delete browser cookies and other stored website data through your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may affect forms, preferences, or normal site operation. Where applicable law requires opt-in for nonessential cookies, the store operator must implement a functioning consent control before such technologies activate; dismissing an essential-cookie notice is not equivalent to consent to advertising tracking.
6. Third parties and lifecycle
Cookie lifetimes and providers vary by Shopify service, theme, browser, and installed app. A definitive cookie register requires inspection of the published storefront and its enabled technologies. Third-party providers are responsible for their respective systems, subject to their agreements and applicable law. We review material changes and update this policy when necessary.
7. Privacy and updates
More information about general personal-information handling is in the Privacy Policy. For questions about specific cookies or privacy controls, use the contact information at the end of this page. If additional optional analytics or advertising integrations are introduced, this policy and the relevant consent experience should be updated before or when those integrations go live.
8. Types of cookies and storage
Strictly necessary cookies support essential website operations, such as connection security, request handling, session integrity, and service availability. Preference cookies may remember a visitor’s privacy decision or interface choices. Analytics technologies, if installed, can measure usage patterns; marketing technologies, if installed, can support advertising attribution. The exact providers, names, duration, and categories of cookies can change with Shopify configuration, region, browser, and third-party apps. These must be verified using an actual scan of the deployed storefront before publication.
9. Cookies associated with your privacy choice
The custom website interface stores a local browser choice under a key used to avoid reopening its preference bar on every page view. This preference is not a substitute for the website platform’s permission signals. The accept and reject buttons are designed to send a corresponding decision to Shopify’s Customer Privacy API. If that API is unavailable, the interface indicates that the preference could not be saved, rather than claiming success. Shopify privacy settings and any additional installed apps must be configured to respect the recorded signal.
10. Analytics and marketing configuration
Optional analytical or marketing services should not be described as active unless the merchant has actually enabled them. When these services are used in regions requiring prior consent, they should be prevented from processing until the applicable permission has been obtained. Businesses running the site should review Shopify’s privacy settings, pixel integrations, tag managers, and every third-party app capable of placing cookies. Deactivating an app may require additional verification that its scripts and tags no longer load.
11. Managing and changing your choice
Select Accept Optional or Reject Optional in the privacy bar to record the relevant preference where the Shopify consent interface is available. The Cookie Preferences control in the footer reopens that choice. You may also clear site data in your browser, adjust browser privacy settings, or use supported browser controls. Clearing cookies may reset the stored local preference, and blocking essential cookies may interfere with certain website functions.
12. Cookie providers and lifetimes
Essential cookies may be issued by Shopify or its infrastructure. The duration of a particular cookie depends on its purpose, product version, and visitor settings. Because the public website does not expose a verified live cookie inventory in this document, no individual cookie name or expiry should be regarded as guaranteed. The website operator should publish an accurate inventory after inspecting the deployed site in different privacy states and maintaining it after app, theme, or analytics changes.
13. Other technologies
Browser local storage and related technologies can be used to maintain a visitor’s choice and the personal interaction state of the on-page Kanban board. These records remain in the visitor’s browser rather than representing a hosted client workspace. Other platform technologies may be used for fraud prevention, load balancing, and secure request delivery. A device’s operating system and browser also have their own controls for storage, tracking, and site permissions.
14. Changes to this policy
Changes in Shopify functionality, installed apps, analytics settings, or the legal requirements in relevant visitor regions may require a revision of this policy or its consent controls. We may update the text and effective date when our actual practices change. To ask about the current use of cookies, contact Valmera Labs through the company information below.
