This Cookie Policy supplements other notices and privacy policies and is not intended to override them.
Our Website is powered by Shopify, and as such the cookies it uses are primarily determined by Shopify’s e-commerce platform. Shopify’s full cookie policy is available here at https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies and sets out how it uses cookies on merchant websites such as this one, as well as on its own websites. As described further in our Privacy Policy, which is available at https://www.puzzlesplash.com/policies/privacy-policy, we also use Google as a third-party provider of analytical and advertising tools.

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive.
What Cookies Do We use and Why?
We use the following cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies. Some cookies are necessary to allow you to browse our Website, use its features, and access secure areas. The use of these cookies is essential for our Website to work. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our Website. They include, for example, user-input cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our Website, use a shopping cart, or fill in forms that span several pages.
- Analytical/Performance Cookies. Some cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our Website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
- Functionality Cookies. These are used to recognize you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
- Targeting Cookies. These cookies record your visit to our Website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our Website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.
- Social and Content Cookies. These cookies are placed by many social media plugins (for example, the Facebook “like” button), and other tools meant to provide or improve the content on a website (for example services that allow the playing of video files, or that create comments sections). These modules are integrated into Shopify’s platform to improve the experience of browsing and interacting with Shopify-powered websites. Please note that some of these third party services place cookies that are also used for things like behavioral advertising, analytics, and/or market research.

How Long Will Cookies Remain on My Computer or Mobile Device?
The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing, and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device. See the section below on how to control cookies for more information on removing them before they expire.
How to Control Cookies?
