This Cookie Policy explains browser storage and similar technologies that may be used when the Trade Realm website is delivered through Shopify. The supplied custom website code does not create advertising cookies and does not store the consultation form submission.
Cookies are small text files placed on a device by a website or related service. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, and identifiers used to deliver a page, remember settings, maintain security, measure performance, or support enabled features.
The supplied Trade Realm custom Liquid sections use front-end JavaScript for navigation, theme switching, reveal effects, portfolio tabs, testimonial controls, a planning terminal, and the consultation modal. The theme preference is changed for the current page session and is not written by this custom code to local storage. The consultation form creates an on-screen reference only and does not store or transmit its fields.
Shopify or the configured hosting environment may use technologies necessary to provide storefront functionality, route requests, maintain security, balance traffic, prevent abuse, remember privacy choices, or support administrator-configured services. These technologies are controlled by the applicable platform configuration, not by the custom visual sections alone.
| Category | Purpose | Typical status |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Page delivery, security, fraud prevention, network management, and privacy-choice storage. | Usually required for the site to operate. |
| Preferences | Remember optional display or language choices when the store owner enables persistence. | Optional unless necessary for a requested feature. |
| Analytics | Understand traffic, page performance, and aggregate use when analytics tools are enabled. | Depends on store configuration and consent requirements. |
| Marketing | Measure campaigns or support advertising when the store owner installs such tools. | Not included in the supplied custom code. |
The store owner may later enable analytics, payment, customer support, advertising, embedded media, or other third-party tools. Those tools may place or read their own identifiers and operate under their own notices. Before adding a tool, the owner should review its data practices, update this policy, and configure consent controls where required.
You can use browser controls to view, block, or delete cookies and other site data. Blocking necessary storage may affect page delivery, security features, or settings. Browser instructions differ by product and version. Where a consent banner is provided, use that interface to manage optional categories.
Some browsers communicate privacy preference signals. The way a platform responds depends on the applicable law and store configuration. Trade Realm does not use the supplied custom code to sell personal information or create cross-context behavioral advertising profiles.
Cookie retention ranges from the current browser session to a longer period depending on purpose and configuration. Necessary security records may be retained separately by the hosting platform. Optional tool retention should be reviewed in the relevant provider settings and notice.
This policy should be updated before material changes are made to cookie use, analytics, advertising, embedded services, or preference storage. The “Last updated” date identifies the current version.
