COOKIE POLICY

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on achourco.com.

It should be read together with the Privacy Policy.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small data file stored or read on a device when a website is used.

Cookies can support essential functions such as keeping items in a cart, maintaining a checkout session, protecting the store against fraud and remembering privacy preferences.

Our approach

We distinguish between technologies required for operation and optional technologies that may require consent.

Category	Purpose
Essential	Cart, checkout, security, fraud prevention, session operation
Preferences	Remembering permitted choices or localisation
Analytics	Measuring store usage where enabled and legally permitted
Advertising	Advertising measurement or personalisation where enabled and consented to

Essential technologies may operate because they are necessary for the requested ecommerce service.

Optional technologies requiring consent should not be activated for that purpose before the applicable consent has been obtained.

Shopify technologies

The store is powered by Shopify.

Shopify uses certain cookies needed to operate merchant storefronts, including technologies supporting carts, checkout, localisation, security and privacy preferences. Shopify's published cookie documentation currently lists storefront technologies such as _shopify_essential, _tracking_consent, cart and localization.

Optional third-party technologies

This policy deliberately does not state that Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel or another specific marketing technology is active unless it is actually configured on the store.

If additional technologies are enabled later, the consent interface and policy information should be updated accordingly.

Cookie preferences

Visitors can use the store's cookie banner or privacy-preference control to accept or reject applicable optional technologies.

A choice can later be changed or withdrawn through the available privacy controls.

Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent basic shopping functions that rely only on essential technologies.

Shopify provides customer privacy settings and cookie-banner controls through the Shopify admin, including the ability for customers in configured regions to update their cookie preferences.

Browser controls

Most browsers also allow cookies to be viewed, blocked or deleted.

Deleting cookies may remove saved choices and can cause a privacy banner to be shown again.

Retention

Some technologies are session-based, while others remain for a defined period appropriate to their purpose.

Retention depends on the actual technology, purpose and configuration.

Personal data

Where information associated with a cookie is personal data, it is handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection rules.
