Hills Cosmetic Cookie Policy

Last updated: 17 September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains the types of cookies and similar technologies that may be used by the Hills Cosmetic Shopify store and how you can manage your preferences.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files or similar technologies that can be stored or accessed on your device when you visit a website. They can be required for store operation, remember preferences, measure use or support marketing.

2. What categories do we use?

Necessary cookies

These support functions such as cart, checkout, security, fraud prevention, language/market settings and privacy preferences. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent to the extent permitted by law.

Preference cookies

These remember choices that are not strictly necessary, such as certain display or personalisation preferences. Where consent is required, they are activated only after your choice.

Analytics cookies

These can help us understand how the store is used. We request prior consent for analytics cookies that have more than a minor privacy impact. Analytics cookies with no or only minor privacy impact may in some cases be permitted without consent when legal conditions are met.

Marketing and tracking cookies

These cookies or pixels can track browsing behaviour, support profiles or measure/personalise advertising. We activate them only after prior consent where required by law.

3. Shopify and apps

Because our store is powered by Shopify, Shopify may use cookies and similar technologies for platform functionality, security, checkout and, depending on settings and consent, analytics or other functions. Installed Shopify apps may use additional technologies. The active list must match the apps and settings actually used by Hills Cosmetic.

4. Consent and cookie settings

Where required, a cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential categories. You can later change or withdraw your choice at [COOKIE SETTINGS LINK/NAME]. Withdrawal takes effect for the future.

5. Browser controls

You can also delete or block cookies in your browser. Some necessary store functions may not work properly if such cookies are blocked.

6. Retention and third parties

Retention differs per cookie. Session cookies generally expire after the session, while persistent cookies remain for their configured duration or until deleted. Third parties may have their own retention periods. [ADD AN UP-TO-DATE COOKIE LIST OR LINK TO SHOPIFY COOKIE PREFERENCES IF AVAILABLE.]

7. Personal data

Where cookies process personal data, our Privacy Policy also applies and explains purposes, legal bases, recipients, retention and privacy rights.

8. Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy when our Shopify configuration, apps or applicable law change. Check the date at the top of this page for the latest version.
