Cookie Policy

Effective Date: Sep 21, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Serenity Shore Coffee ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. It applies to all visitors and customers who use our site and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, Refund Policy, and Shipping Policy. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described here, unless you disable them as explained below.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function properly, remember your preferences, and give us information about how the site is used. Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). Similar technologies covered by this policy include pixels, web beacons, and local storage.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies These are required for the website and shopping cart (Shopify) to function — for example, keeping items in your cart, remembering your login session, and enabling secure checkout. The site cannot operate properly without these, and they cannot be switched off through our cookie tool.

Analytics Cookies We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site — pages viewed, time on site, and general traffic patterns. This data is aggregated and helps us improve the site and our content.

Advertising & Marketing Cookies We use the Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel and similar advertising technologies to measure the performance of our ads and to show you relevant ads on other sites based on your visit to ours (retargeting). These cookies may track your activity across other websites.

Functional Cookies These remember choices you make on the site (such as region or display preferences) to provide a more personalized experience.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party services we use, including:

Shopify — our e-commerce and checkout platform
Google Analytics (GA4) — website traffic and usage analytics
Meta Pixel — ad performance tracking and retargeting on Facebook/Instagram

These third parties may use the information collected to provide their own services, and their use of cookies is governed by their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

Your Choices: How to Control Cookies

You have several ways to control or limit cookies:

Browser settings — Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Visit your browser's help section for instructions specific to Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge.
Cookie consent tool — When you first visit our site, a cookie banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising). You can change your preference at any time using the cookie settings link in our site footer.
Opt out of Google Analytics — Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Opt out of interest-based Facebook/Meta ads — Adjust your ad preferences directly in your Facebook or Instagram account settings, or visit the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site, including checkout, from working correctly.

California & Other State Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), gives you the right to know what personal information is collected through cookies, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information (which can include information shared with advertising partners like Meta for targeted advertising). You can exercise this right using our cookie consent tool or by contacting us using the information below.

Our site also honors the Global Privacy Control (GPC), a browser-level signal that lets you opt out of the sale/sharing of your personal information automatically, without having to set preferences on every site you visit.

Residents of other states with comprehensive privacy laws (such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah) have similar rights to opt out of targeted advertising cookies. For more on how we handle personal information generally, see our Privacy Policy.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or applicable law. We will post the revised policy on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
