Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Iveriq Search uses cookies, browser storage, pixels, scripts, and comparable technologies on this website. It should be read with the Privacy Policy. The technologies actually present may depend on the Shopify theme, enabled applications, payment or security services, and choices made by the visitor.

1. What Cookies Are

A cookie is a small text file placed on a browser or device by a website. Cookies may store an identifier, preference, session state, or other limited information. Some cookies are set directly by the website being visited, while others may be set by a third-party service used by the website. Similar functions can be performed through local storage, session storage, software development kits, tags, or pixels.

Cookies may be “session” technologies that expire when a browser session ends or “persistent” technologies that remain until their configured expiration date or until they are deleted. The duration depends on the purpose and configuration of the relevant technology.

2. Categories of Technology

Strictly necessary

Necessary technologies support functions such as page delivery, load balancing, security, fraud prevention, network management, accessibility, consent records, and other operations required for the website to function. Because the website cannot reliably operate without them, these technologies are generally active by default where permitted by law.

Preference and functionality

Preference technologies remember choices that improve the experience. On this website, browser storage may remember whether you selected the light or dark visual theme. This preference is used to display the selected design on later visits and is not intended to identify you across unrelated websites.

Analytics and performance

Analytics technologies can help a website owner understand how visitors reach and use a site, which pages are viewed, whether errors occur, and how performance can be improved. Data may include page views, approximate location, device and browser information, referral source, interaction events, and diagnostic information. If optional analytics are enabled, they should be disclosed in the site's consent interface where required.

Advertising and measurement

Advertising technologies may be used to measure campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, create audiences, or personalize advertising. Iveriq Search does not need advertising cookies to provide the website's core SEO service information or to receive a direct project request. If advertising technologies are added, visitors should be given the choices required by applicable law.

3. Current Website Functionality

The custom website experience uses local browser storage to remember the selected color theme under a functional preference. The project-request form included in the website package displays an on-screen confirmation after the required fields are completed; the custom form code does not itself send the form data to an external recipient. If the website owner later connects the form to Shopify Forms, a customer relationship platform, an email service, or another processor, the privacy and cookie disclosures should be reviewed before that integration is published.

Shopify and the active theme may set additional technologies for platform security, storefront operation, localization, cart or session functions, and performance. Installed applications may add their own technologies. Store administrators should review the current Shopify cookie and customer privacy settings, active applications, and theme code whenever the site configuration changes.

4. Why Technologies Are Used

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to:

• deliver pages and maintain reliable storefront operation;
• protect the website and users against abuse, fraud, and malicious traffic;
• remember a color-theme or consent preference;
• diagnose errors and improve loading performance;
• understand aggregate website use and the effectiveness of content;
• support integrations expressly enabled by the website owner;
• comply with legal obligations and retain evidence of privacy choices where required.

5. Your Choices

You can usually review, block, or delete cookies through browser settings. Browser controls differ, and disabling some technologies may reduce website functionality. Clearing browser data may also remove the stored theme choice, privacy preference, saved session, or other useful settings.

Where a consent banner is displayed, use its controls to accept, reject, or manage optional categories. Necessary technologies may remain active because they support requested functions or security. A choice may apply only to the current browser or device. If you use a different browser, clear data, or use another device, you may need to make the choice again.

Browser privacy signals, including Global Privacy Control where legally applicable, should be handled in accordance with applicable law and the capabilities of the website platform. A “Do Not Track” signal is not interpreted consistently across the industry, so the website may not respond to it unless a specific legal requirement applies.

6. Third-Party Services

Third-party services may set or read technologies when they are enabled on the website. These providers control their own systems and publish their own privacy and cookie information. Examples may include the commerce platform, content-delivery and security providers, analytics services, embedded media, scheduling tools, or form processors. We do not control a third party's independent retention period or cross-service processing.

The absence of a technology from this written policy does not mean an application can be installed without review. Before enabling a new application or tag, the website owner should assess its purpose, data flow, cookie duration, geographic operation, consent requirements, and contractual safeguards, and then update this policy if necessary.

7. Cookie Inventory and Review

Cookie names and durations can change when Shopify, the theme, or installed applications are updated. For that reason, the most accurate inventory should be generated from the current production website and reviewed periodically. The store administrator should remove unused tags and applications, verify that optional technologies honor consent settings, and maintain records of material configuration changes.

8. Retention

Each cookie or storage item is retained according to its purpose. Session items generally expire when the session ends. Preference items may remain until expiration or deletion so a choice can be remembered. Security and consent records may be retained longer where reasonably necessary to prevent abuse, demonstrate compliance, or protect legal rights. Information derived from analytics may be aggregated or de-identified and retained under the applicable provider configuration.

9. Updates to This Policy

This policy may be updated when website technology, service providers, legal requirements, or privacy choices change. The “Last updated” date shows the current version. If a material change affects how optional technologies are used, a new choice or notice will be provided where required.
