Cookie Policy

Last updated: February 16, 2026

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to site owners. Each cookie typically contains the name of the domain it came from, its lifetime, and a value, which is usually a randomly generated unique identifier.

Cookies are not harmful and do not contain viruses or personal data such as your name or payment details. They simply help websites remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter information each time you visit or navigate between pages.

2. How We Use Cookies

At HappyStoreShop, we use cookies for a variety of purposes to enhance your shopping experience. These purposes include:

  • Functionality: Cookies allow us to operate essential site features such as your shopping cart, user authentication, and checkout process. Without these cookies, core parts of our website would not function correctly.
  • Analytics: We use cookies to collect anonymous data about how visitors interact with our website. This helps us understand which pages are most popular, how visitors navigate the site, and where we can make improvements to provide a better experience.
  • Preferences: Cookies enable us to remember your settings and preferences, such as your preferred language, region, and display options, so you do not have to reconfigure them each time you return.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on happystoreshop.com. The table below provides details about each type, including specific cookie names, their purposes, and how long they remain on your device.

These cookies fall into four main categories:

  • Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary for the website to function. They include session cookies, cart cookies, and authentication cookies. Without them, services such as shopping cart management and secure login cannot be provided.
  • Analytics Cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting information such as page views, traffic sources, and visitor counts. We use Google Analytics to process this data. All information collected is aggregated and anonymous.
  • Functional Cookies: These cookies remember choices you make, such as your language preference or region, and provide enhanced, personalized features. They may also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of the site.
  • Marketing Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They also help us measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns by tracking conversions and engagement.

4. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to the cookies we set directly, certain cookies may be placed on your device by trusted third parties. We work with the following categories of third-party providers:

  • Analytics Providers: We use services such as Google Analytics to gather statistical data about website usage. These providers set their own cookies to collect information about how you interact with our site, which helps us improve performance and content.
  • Payment Processors: When you make a purchase, our payment processing partners may set cookies to facilitate secure transactions, prevent fraud, and remember your payment preferences for future checkouts.
  • Advertising Partners: We work with advertising networks that may place cookies on your device to serve ads that are more relevant to your interests. These partners may also use cookies to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of their campaigns.

We do not control the cookies set by third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these providers for more information about their practices.

5. Managing Your Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies or to alert you when a cookie is being placed on your device. Below are instructions for managing cookies in the most popular browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Open Settings, then navigate to Privacy and Security. Click on Cookies and other site data. From here you can choose to block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or clear cookies when you close the browser.
  • Mozilla Firefox: Open Settings and select Privacy & Security. Under the Enhanced Tracking Protection section, choose your preferred level of protection (Standard, Strict, or Custom) to control how cookies are handled.
  • Safari: Open Preferences and go to the Privacy tab. You can choose to block all cookies, prevent cross-site tracking, or manage website data to remove cookies from specific sites.
  • Microsoft Edge: Open Settings and go to Cookies and site permissions. Click on Manage and delete cookies and site data. You can choose to block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or clear cookies on close.

You may also manage cookie preferences by using browser extensions designed for cookie management, or by adjusting settings within your device's operating system.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

Please be aware that if you choose to disable or decline cookies, some features of our website may not function as intended. For example:

  • You may be unable to add items to your shopping cart or complete a purchase.
  • Your account login session may not persist, requiring you to sign in each time you visit.
  • Personalized settings such as language and display preferences will not be saved.
  • Some interactive features and page elements may not load or display correctly.

Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of our website. While you are free to disable analytics, functional, and marketing cookies, doing so may result in a less personalized and less convenient browsing experience. We recommend keeping essential cookies enabled to ensure full access to all site features.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) setting that sends a signal to the websites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. HappyStoreShop respects and honors Do Not Track signals. When we detect that your browser has DNT enabled, we will disable non-essential tracking cookies, including analytics and marketing cookies, for your browsing session.

Please note that even when DNT is enabled, essential cookies that are necessary for website functionality will still be used. These cookies do not track your activity across other websites and are required to provide you with core services such as your shopping cart and account management.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.

If we make significant changes to this policy that materially affect your rights or how your data is handled, we will provide a prominent notice on our website or notify you directly via email prior to the changes taking effect.

9. Contact Us
