Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 20, 2026

This page explains what cookies we use and how to control them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes everything else we do with personal information.

What a cookie is

A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device so it can recognize your browser on a later visit. We also use related technologies — pixels, tags and local storage — and for simplicity we call all of them "cookies" here.

The four kinds we use

1. Strictly necessary

Without these the store does not work. They keep your shopping cart from emptying between pages, hold your session while you check out, remember which cookies you have already agreed to, and help block fraudulent orders. These cannot be switched off, because switching them off would mean switching off the store.

2. Performance and analytics

These tell us which pages people visit, how long they stay, and where they give up. We use them to find what is broken — a size chart nobody can locate, a checkout step that loses people. The reporting is aggregated; it is about pages, not about you personally.

3. Functional

These remember choices you have made, such as recently viewed products or items left in your cart, so you do not have to start over.

4. Advertising and targeting

Set by us and by advertising partners, these record which products you looked at so the ads you see elsewhere are for shoes you might actually want, and so we can tell whether an ad led to a purchase. This is the category that counts as "sharing" for targeted advertising under several U.S. state privacy laws.

Cookies set by other companies

Some cookies come from services we rely on rather than from us:

• Shopify — our store and checkout platform. Sets the necessary cart, session and fraud-prevention cookies.
• Analytics providers — measure traffic and site performance.
• Advertising platforms, including Meta (Facebook and Instagram) — measure ad performance and support targeted advertising.
• Payment providers — verify your payment and screen for fraud during checkout.

These companies handle the data they collect under their own privacy policies, which we do not control.

How to control cookies

On this site

Where a consent banner is shown, your choice there is recorded and applied. To opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising, use Your Privacy Choices.

In your browser

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings — Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge all offer this under Privacy. Blocking all cookies will break the cart and checkout, so we do not recommend it if you intend to buy something.

Global Privacy Control

We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser or an extension sends it, we treat it as an opt-out of sharing for targeted advertising, without you needing to do anything else.

Opting out across many advertisers at once

The Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info) and the Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org) offer industry-wide opt-out tools.

Changes and questions

If we change how we use cookies we will update this page and the date at the top. For anything about cookies or your privacy, email support@laurenshoes.com — we reply within 1 business day.
