Cookie Policy
Effective and last updated September 21, 2026. This page relates to the Koa Readers website and content creation services.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website or service can store in your browser. Related technologies may include local storage, pixels, and similar identifiers. They can help the site function, remember a preference, protect a session, and measure use where tools for that purpose are enabled. This policy describes categories that may apply to a Shopify storefront. The exact live inventory depends on the store configuration and installed applications and should be reviewed before publication.
The Koa Readers Custom Liquid theme files save a dark or light display preference in browser local storage under the key kr-theme. That preference remains in the browser until it is changed or cleared; the provided code does not transmit it to Koa Readers. The preview inquiry form also does not send a completed brief from the browser.
2. Necessary technologies
Necessary technologies can support basic storefront delivery, security, load distribution, error prevention, fraud controls, and the features you actively request. The Shopify platform may set or read such identifiers as part of normal site operation. Blocking all cookies can affect expected behavior even where no online checkout is used on the page.
Necessary technologies are generally used to operate the site rather than to build an advertising profile. Some are session-based and disappear when the browser closes; others may remain for a defined period. Their names and lifetimes should be taken from the live platform and app inventory, not inferred from this design package.
3. Preferences and optional analytics
A preference technology may remember a chosen theme or privacy setting. The theme preference in this package is the local storage value described above. If an analytics service is activated in Shopify or through another application, it may collect information about page views, device types, approximate location, and interactions to help assess site performance.
We do not state here that a particular analytics provider is installed, that every visitor is tracked, or that a specific analytics cookie exists. Those details must reflect the live deployment. Where local law requires consent for optional analytics, such technologies should not be activated before the relevant choice has been recorded.
4. Advertising and embedded services
Advertising pixels, social media integrations, chat widgets, embedded media, or other third-party applications may use their own identifiers if a store operator enables them. This Custom Liquid package does not include advertising pixels or social-sharing links. Any future additions should be described in an updated cookie inventory and, where appropriate, controlled through a consent mechanism.
A third party can have its own privacy terms and cookie lifetimes. The presence of a third-party service should be checked in Shopify settings, installed apps, theme scripts, and any tag manager before the live cookie notice is finalized.
5. Managing cookies and consent
You can usually manage or delete cookies through browser settings. Many browsers allow you to reject some or all cookies, clear stored site data, or set limits for individual websites. Clearing browser storage may reset the chosen color theme to its default. Browser controls can affect functionality and do not necessarily replace a website privacy-choice tool where one is provided.
If the live site offers a cookie banner or privacy preferences panel, use it to set your choice for optional categories. If you later change your mind, return to that panel where available or contact us using the details below. Signals such as opt-out preferences should be handled as required by law and by the actual storefront configuration.
6. How long information remains
Cookie duration varies: session cookies are generally removed when a browsing session ends, while persistent values can last longer or until manually cleared. An application or browser may change its practices over time. For an accurate list of names, providers, purposes, and expiration periods, inspect the deployed storefront and maintain a current cookie table alongside this notice.
We review this policy when the website, its applications, or applicable requirements change. The date above shows when this draft text was last revised. If you have a question about a category or would like to raise a privacy request, use the contact information below.
