Highest-cost clauses first
You are agreeing to have your site visits tracked and shared with third-party advertisers.
“These cookies remember that you visited our website and we may share this information with third-parties, such as advertisers.”
What that means: Your browsing habits are tracked and shared with outside companies for marketing purposes.
The policy states that advertising cookies track your visits and allow the company to share this data with advertisers.
You are agreeing to cookie and tracking policies that apply across all merchant storefronts powered by Shopify.
“either when you are visiting our web properties, or if you are visiting the storefront of a merchant who uses our platform to power their site.”
What that means: Accepting these cookies binds you to tracking rules across thousands of different online stores, not just Shopify.com.
The terms apply not just to Shopify's own sites but also to any merchant storefront powered by Shopify, covering a vast network of stores.
You are agreeing to persistent cookies that may stay on your device for up to two years.
“Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years”
What that means: Your device stores identifying data for long periods, up to two years.
Persistent cookies can remain on your device for up to two years without an explicit opt-in for that specific duration beyond the initial consent.
You are agreeing to tracking practices that extend to sister brands like Tinker and Oberlo.
“When visitors load Tinker's websites (tinker.com, app.tinker.com)... When visitors load Oberlo’s websites”
What that means: Using Shopify-related products like Tinker or Oberlo subjects you to similar tracking.
The document explicitly lists sister products Tinker and Oberlo as being covered by similar cookie placement practices.
Keep this list. Fineprint cannot undo or cancel something you already agreed to at the company.
