# Cookie Policy
**Last updated: June 24, 2026**
This Cookie Policy explains how Saskatoon Clayworks ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit www.saskatoonclayworks.com (the "Site"). It should be read together with our [Privacy Policy](https://www.saskatoonclayworks.com/policies/privacy-policy), which explains how we collect and use your personal information more generally.
## What Are Cookies
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Saskatoon Clayworks) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (such as analytics or advertising).
## Why We Use Cookies
We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Site to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Site, remember choices you've made, and provide a more personalized shopping experience. Third parties serve cookies through our Site for analytics, advertising, and other purposes.
## Types of Cookies We Use
- **Essential Cookies.** These cookies are necessary for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms (e.g. cart and checkout functionality provided by Shopify).
- **Performance and Analytics Cookies.** These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Site.
- **Functionality Cookies.** These cookies enable the Site to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your region, language, or preferences.
- **Advertising/Targeting Cookies.** These cookies may be set through our Site by us or our advertising partners (e.g. Meta, Google Ads) to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device.
## Cookies Set by Shopify
Because our Site is hosted and powered by Shopify, Shopify places its own cookies as part of providing core functionality (such as cart, checkout, fraud prevention, and load balancing). You can learn more about the cookies Shopify uses in [Shopify's Cookie Policy](https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies).
## How to Control Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies, and if you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Site, though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.
We do not currently respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals.
## Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post any changes on this page and update the "Last updated" date above.
