What you accept

If you use this site

Everyday words for the material promises and rights you give up. Each line includes a quote from the document.

Fineprint cannot see whether you agreed. This page is posted on their site. Open the original if you need to know how they say it applies.

  1. 01

    You are agreeing to let Shopify and merchant storefronts use cookies for necessary functions, analytics, and marketing.

    Other products, stores, or brands

    “We use a number of different cookies on the Shopify website, including strictly necessary, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies.”
  2. 02

    You are agreeing to share information about your visit with third parties such as advertisers.

    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 across our website and other sites tracked by 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 history across different platforms is monitored for profiling purposes.

The policy explicitly states that advertising cookies can track your visits across multiple websites (other sites) in addition to the current one.

Medium cost

Data sold or shared with third parties

You are agreeing to the potential sharing of your visit information with third-party advertisers.

“we may share this information with third-parties, such as advertisers.”

What that means: Your usage data may be accessed by external advertising entities.

The document allows the company to share collected data with third-party advertisers, which constitutes sharing personal data for commercial access.

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.
