A clearer look at how our website remembers and improves your experience.
Maplemuse (“Maplemuse,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates maplemuse.store, an online shop offering handcrafted bracelets, necklaces, embroidered textile accessories, pearl pieces, woven jewelry, and other artisan-inspired designs.
Like most modern ecommerce websites, our store uses cookies, pixels, local storage, tags, and related technologies. These tools help the website function properly, remember preferences, protect transactions, understand how visitors use our store, and, where permitted, provide more relevant marketing or advertising.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. By continuing to use our website after making your cookie choices, you acknowledge the use of cookies and similar technologies in accordance with those choices and applicable law.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website or its service providers may place on your computer, phone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies can store information such as a session identifier, language preference, cart contents, login status, browser characteristics, or information about how pages are used.
Some cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. These are generally known as session cookies. Other cookies may remain on your device for a defined period of time or until you delete them. These are generally called persistent cookies.
We may also use technologies that perform similar functions, including pixels, web beacons, tags, software development kits, local storage, and device identifiers. In this policy, we generally refer to all of these technologies as “cookies” for simplicity.
2. Why Maplemuse Uses Cookies
Our goal is to use cookies in a practical and proportionate way. Some are required to operate the store, while others help us understand performance or improve your browsing experience.
Essential Store Functions
Cookies may help maintain shopping cart contents, support checkout, process secure transactions, remember session information, prevent abuse, and enable important Shopify store functions.
Preferences
Cookies can remember settings or choices so you do not have to re-enter them repeatedly, including selected preferences, regional settings, and certain storefront display choices.
Performance & Analytics
We may use analytics information to understand which pages visitors use, how people move through the store, which products attract interest, and whether parts of the website are functioning as intended.
Marketing & Measurement
Where allowed and where appropriate consent has been obtained, cookies may help measure campaign performance, limit repetitive advertising, understand referrals, or personalize promotional communications.
Thoughtful Details
Cookies support the small interactions behind a smooth shopping experience.
From keeping a selected item in your cart to maintaining secure checkout sessions, certain technologies allow the store to remember necessary information as you move between pages.
3. Categories of Cookies We May Use
| Category | Purpose | Typical Examples | Can It Be Optional? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Supports core storefront, account, security, cart, checkout, payment, fraud-prevention, and network functions. | Session identifiers, cart state, checkout state, security tokens, load balancing, fraud prevention. | Usually no. Blocking these may prevent the store from functioning correctly. |
| Functional | Remembers user preferences and improves convenience. | Language, region, display choices, remembered storefront preferences. | Often yes, depending on applicable law and configuration. |
| Analytics & Performance | Helps us understand traffic, usage patterns, technical performance, and product-page engagement. | Page views, traffic sources, device/browser information, interaction events. | Often yes, particularly where consent is legally required. |
| Advertising & Marketing | May help measure advertisements, understand campaign effectiveness, or present promotions based on browsing activity. | Advertising identifiers, campaign attribution, conversion measurement, audience signals. | Generally yes where applicable consent or opt-out rights apply. |
Cookie names, providers, and retention periods can change as Shopify and other service providers update their technology. The exact cookies present during your visit may therefore differ depending on your device, location, browser, consent selections, and the features active on our store at that time.
4. Shopify and Ecommerce Technology
Maplemuse is operated using Shopify ecommerce technology. Shopify and its related infrastructure may use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential store functionality, including storefront delivery, checkout, customer authentication, cart management, security, fraud prevention, payment processing, and platform performance.
Some information may therefore be processed directly by Shopify or by service providers supporting the Shopify platform. These technologies may be required for a transaction or for the secure operation of the website and may not be capable of being disabled through our own cookie preference controls.
When you interact with checkout, payment, account, or other hosted Shopify functions, additional technologies may be used according to the services activated on the store and the legal requirements applicable to your region.
5. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are generally created directly by maplemuse.store or by technology acting on behalf of our storefront. They may support navigation, carts, checkout sessions, security, preferences, or site analytics.
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party providers may place or access cookies when their tools are integrated with our website. Depending on the services enabled on our store, these providers may include ecommerce infrastructure, analytics providers, payment processors, security vendors, advertising platforms, social platforms, customer-service tools, or email marketing services.
Third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie practices. Maplemuse does not control every cookie placed directly by an independent third party, and we encourage customers to review the relevant provider’s privacy information where appropriate.
6. Analytics and Store Improvement
We may review aggregated or device-related information about how visitors use our website. This can include pages viewed, approximate session duration, product interactions, referral sources, device type, browser type, general geographic region, and technical errors.
We use this information to improve navigation, identify popular product categories, understand which content is useful, detect broken or slow pages, and evaluate the overall performance of our store. For example, analytics may help us determine whether visitors have difficulty reaching checkout or whether a collection page performs better on mobile devices than on desktop computers.
Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential analytics cookies, such cookies should only be used after the necessary choice has been made.
7. Advertising, Social Media, and Campaign Measurement
We may from time to time promote Maplemuse products through search engines, social networks, creator partnerships, email campaigns, or other digital channels. If advertising or marketing technologies are enabled, they may help us understand whether someone arrived at our store after viewing a campaign or whether a purchase may be associated with a particular promotion.
Depending on your location and privacy choices, some marketing technologies may use identifiers to measure conversions, create audiences, reduce repetitive ads, or personalize advertising. We do not intend to use advertising cookies in a way that overrides consent or opt-out rights available under applicable law.
Disabling marketing cookies does not necessarily mean you will stop seeing advertising. It generally means that advertising may be less personalized and some campaign measurement may be limited.
8. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
Cookie retention periods vary. Session cookies may be deleted automatically after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may remain for days, months, or longer depending on their purpose, provider configuration, and applicable requirements.
We aim to use information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to legitimate business, security, legal, accounting, and compliance requirements.
9. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You may have several ways to control cookies. Available options depend on your browser, device, region, and the consent tools provided by our storefront.
- Cookie banner or preference center: where provided, you may use our on-site privacy controls to accept or reject certain categories of non-essential cookies.
- Browser settings: most browsers allow you to block, restrict, or delete cookies through privacy or security settings.
- Device settings: mobile operating systems may provide controls for advertising identifiers, app tracking, and related technologies.
- Third-party opt-outs: some advertising and analytics providers offer their own opt-out mechanisms.
Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may cause important parts of the website to stop functioning. You may be unable to maintain a shopping cart, sign in, complete checkout, or use certain security-protected features.
10. Browser Privacy Signals and Opt-Out Rights
Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide rights to opt out of certain uses or disclosures of personal information for targeted advertising, cross-context behavioral advertising, or related activities.
Some browsers or devices may transmit privacy preference signals such as Global Privacy Control (“GPC”). Where we are legally required and technically able to recognize such signals, they may be treated as a request to opt out of certain processing associated with that browser or device.
Because privacy laws and browser technologies continue to develop, the effect of such signals may vary by jurisdiction and by the services active on our website.
11. Cookies and Personal Information
Some cookie information may qualify as personal information or personal data under privacy laws because it can relate to a device, browser, household, or identifiable individual. Examples may include IP address, device identifiers, online activity, account information, purchase-related events, or unique session identifiers.
When cookie data constitutes personal information, we handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection requirements. We do not intentionally use cookies to collect highly sensitive information unless it is necessary for a specifically disclosed and lawful purpose.
12. International Visitors
Maplemuse may be accessible to customers in multiple countries and regions. Cookie rules differ between jurisdictions. Some locations require prior consent before certain non-essential cookies may be used, while others provide opt-out rights or other privacy choices.
Where our storefront offers region-specific cookie controls, the choices displayed to you may differ based on location, applicable legal requirements, browser settings, or Shopify platform functionality.
13. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website features, ecommerce technology, legal obligations, or service providers change. When we make material revisions, we may update the effective date displayed at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
We encourage you to revisit this page periodically so you remain informed about how cookies and similar technologies are used on maplemuse.store.
