Welcome to Triple Shady. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on www.tripleshady.com, the types of cookies we use (including third-party cookies), and how you can control them. Triple Shady is a UK-based business that ships globally. If you have questions about this policy, contact us at info@tripleshady.com.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you visit websites. They help the site remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, items in your shopping cart) so you don’t have to re-enter them when you return to the site or browse from one page to another.
Which cookies do we use and why?
Below is a list of common cookies that Triple Shady may set when you use our store. We’ve grouped cookies by purpose so it’s easier to understand what they do.
Important: The exact cookies and names set on your device may vary slightly depending on Shopify apps, theme code, and any third-party tools you enable. After the storefront is live, we recommend reviewing the live cookie list (for example via browser developer tools or a consent app) and updating this table accordingly.Essential / Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the basic functioning of the site (cart, checkout, security). They cannot be switched off in our systems.

Consent and Shopify's cookie banner
Triple Shady uses Shopify’s native cookie consent solution to collect and store user preferences for non-essential cookies. When you first visit the site, the cookie banner will present categories (for example, Essential, Analytics, Marketing). You can accept all cookies or manage your preferences via the banner. If you decline non-essential cookies, those cookies will be blocked / not set by the consent mechanism.
How to change or withdraw your consent
- Use the cookie consent banner: If the banner provides a “manage preferences” link, open it to change settings.
- Browser settings: You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings (for example, in Chrome: Settings ▶ Privacy & security ▶ Cookies and other site data). Blocking cookies may break some site features.
- Third-party opt-outs: For advertising cookies, you can opt out of interest-based advertising on sites such as the Network Advertising Initiative or via your device advertising settings.
How to control cookies in popular browsers
If you want to delete cookies or stop accepting them, you can do this through your browser settings. Please consult your browser's help pages for detailed instructions — search for “manage cookies” followed by your browser name (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox).

Data retention
Cookie retention periods are noted in the tables above. Analytics data stored by third parties (for example Google Analytics) may be retained according to those providers’ settings. If you require a specific retention policy for analytics or logs, contact us at info@tripleshady.com.
