Cookie Policy

Last updated: 2026-06-17

This Cookie Policy explains how The Linscent ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit thelinscent.com. It supplements our Privacy Policy and Data Practices.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and operate basic functions such as your shopping cart and language settings. We refer to cookies, web beacons, pixels, and local storage collectively as "cookies" in this notice.

How we use cookies

We currently use only strictly necessary cookies required to operate our store. We do not use analytics, advertising, or personalization cookies at this time. If we add any in the future (for example, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or TikTok Pixel), this page will be updated and our cookie banner will request your consent before they are activated.

Cookies currently in use

Cookie Provider Purpose Category Expiration
_shopify_essential Shopify Maintains your shopping session, cart contents, checkout state, and security Strictly necessary 1 year
localization Shopify Remembers your country and currency preferences Strictly necessary 2 weeks
integration Avada Remembers your cookie banner preference so you are not re-prompted Strictly necessary Session
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the site to function and are exempt from consent requirements under GDPR and CCPA. They do not track you across other sites, and they are not used for marketing or analytics.

Cookies we do NOT currently use

For full transparency, we want you to know what we are not doing:

  • ❌ No Google Analytics, Shopify Analytics, or other behavioral analytics
  • ❌ No advertising pixels (Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, Google Ads)
  • ❌ No third-party retargeting cookies
  • ❌ No data brokers or audience-sharing networks
  • ❌ No cross-site tracking

If this changes, we will update this page, notify you via the cookie banner, and obtain your consent before activating any non-essential cookie.

How to manage cookies

In our cookie banner

You can re-open your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the **"Manage cookies"** button in the bottom corner of any page.

In your browser

You can disable or delete cookies through your browser settings:
  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Please note: Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent core site functions from working — you will not be able to add items to your cart or complete checkout.

Third-party services

Some essential cookies are set by trusted third parties that help us operate the store:

Service Role Privacy policy
Shopify E-commerce platform (hosting, cart, checkout) shopify.com/legal/privacy
Avada Cookie consent banner avada.io/privacy-policy
Stripe / Shopify Payments Payment processing (activated at checkout) stripe.com/privacy
These third parties have their own privacy practices. We recommend reviewing their policies.

Do Not Track signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because we do not engage in cross-site tracking or behavioral advertising, our handling of all visitors is already aligned with a "Do Not Track" preference. You can manage cookies via our banner or your browser at any time.

Your rights

You have the right to:

  • Withdraw consent for any non-essential cookies (when applicable) at any time
  • Request information about cookies set on your device
  • Request deletion of any personal data we hold about you

For full details on your privacy rights — including CCPA / CPRA / GDPR / COPPA — see our Privacy Policy and Data Practices.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our cookie usage evolves — for example, when we add analytics or marketing tools in the future. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated "Last updated" date, and our cookie banner will request renewed consent where required.
