  1. 01

    You are agreeing to allow Shopify and its partners to track your activity across multiple websites using cookies.

    Other companies

    “These cookies remember that you visited our website and we may share this information with third-parties, such as advertisers.”

What it can cost you

Downsides we could quote

Quoted clauses that can affect your privacy, money, or right to go to court — including terms that follow you to other products.

Highest-cost clauses first

High cost

Tracking you across apps

You are agreeing to have your visits to other sites tracked through advertising cookies.

“Although these cookies can track your device’s visits to our website and other sites, they typically cannot personally identify you.”

What that means: Your browsing habits on various websites are monitored to build a profile of your interests.

The policy explicitly states that advertising cookies track your visits to 'other sites,' which indicates cross-site tracking behavior typical of online advertising networks.

High cost

Tracking you across apps

You are agreeing to let third parties like Facebook target you with ads based on your site visits.

“Facebook Custom Audiences We use Facebook Custom Audiences to deliver targeted advertisements to individuals who visit our websites.”

What that means: Third-party platforms like Facebook receive your data to show you personalized advertisements.

The document lists specific third-party tools used to deliver targeted ads based on user interactions, confirming extensive tracking integration.

Medium cost

Terms follow you to parks, stores, and other products

You are agreeing that these tracking rules apply to both Shopify's sites and merchant storefronts.

“This document is meant to explain the types of cookies and other tracking technologies that Shopify may place on your device... if you are visiting the storefront of a merchant who uses our platform to power their site.”

What that means: Your tracking preferences and cookie usage span across numerous independent online stores, not just Shopify's direct site.

The same cookie policy applies not only to Shopify’s own properties but also to independent merchant stores powered by Shopify, extending the tracking scope to many different brands.

If these terms already apply to you

Keep this list. Fineprint cannot undo or cancel something you already agreed to at the company.

We cannot see Agree on their site. With Premium, tap “I accepted these terms” if you already agreed to what Shopify asks.
