COOKIE POLICY

At Nordi Paw, we use cookies and similar technologies to operate our 
website, improve your experience, and — with your consent — measure 
performance and deliver relevant ads. This policy explains what cookies 
are, which ones we use, and how you can control them.

Last updated: 20.4.2026

————————————————————————————————
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
————————————————————————————————
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, 
or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help the website 
recognise your device and remember information about your visit — such 
as what's in your cart, your language preference, or whether you're 
logged in.

Some cookies are essential for the website to function. Others help us 
understand how the site is used, or show you relevant advertising on 
other platforms. Non-essential cookies are only set with your consent.

————————————————————————————————
2. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE
————————————————————————————————
We use four categories of cookies on nordipaw.com:

ESSENTIAL COOKIES (always active)
Required for basic site functionality. These cannot be disabled because 
the site would not work without them. They are set on the legal basis 
of our legitimate interest in operating the website.

Examples: keeping items in your cart, remembering your checkout progress, 
maintaining login sessions, security checks.

FUNCTIONAL COOKIES (always active or opt-in)
Enable enhanced features such as remembering your preferences (language, 
currency) and displaying product reviews.

ANALYTICS COOKIES (consent required)
Help us understand how visitors use our site — which pages are viewed, 
which products attract interest, and where visitors come from. This 
data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

ADVERTISING COOKIES (consent required)
Used to show you relevant Nordi Paw ads on other platforms (such as 
Facebook, Instagram, and Google) and to measure ad performance. These 
cookies may track your activity across websites.

4. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
————————————————————————————————
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use (Google, Meta, 
Loox, Shopify). These providers may process your data on their own 
servers and under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you 
to review:

- Shopify: shopify.com/legal/privacy
- Google: policies.google.com/privacy
- Meta: meta.com/privacy/policy
- Loox: loox.io/privacy

————————————————————————————————
5. LEGAL BASIS AND YOUR CONSENT
————————————————————————————————
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy 
Directive (2002/58/EC):

- Essential cookies are set without consent because they are strictly 
  necessary for the service you requested.
- All other cookies (functional, analytics, advertising) require your 
  active consent before they are set.

When you first visit nordipaw.com, a cookie banner gives you three 
options:
1. Accept all cookies
2. Reject all non-essential cookies
3. Customise your choices per category

Your choice is saved for 6 months, after which the banner will reappear. 
You can also update your preferences at any time — see Section 6 below.

————————————————————————————————
6. HOW TO MANAGE OR WITHDRAW YOUR CONSENT
————————————————————————————————
You can change your cookie choices at any time by clicking "Cookie 
Settings" or "Your Privacy Choices" in our website footer. Withdrawing 
consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent 
before its withdrawal.

You can also manage or delete cookies directly through your browser 
settings. Instructions for the most common browsers:

- Chrome: support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
- Safari: support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies
- Firefox: support.mozilla.org/kb/cookies-information-websites-store
- Edge: support.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge

Please note: blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site 
from working correctly (for example, you may not be able to complete 
a purchase).

————————————————————————————————
7. GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL (GPC)
————————————————————————————————
We honour the Global Privacy Control browser signal. If your browser 
sends a GPC signal, we will treat it as a valid request to opt out of 
analytics and advertising cookies for the duration of your visit.

————————————————————————————————
8. DO NOT TRACK
————————————————————————————————
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. There is currently no 
common industry standard for responding to DNT signals, so our website 
does not change behaviour based on DNT alone. Please use our cookie 
banner or GPC to opt out.

————————————————————————————————
9. CHILDREN
————————————————————————————————
Our website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly set analytics 
or advertising cookies for visitors we know to be under 16.

————————————————————————————————
10. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
————————————————————————————————
We may update this Cookie Policy occasionally to reflect changes in 
the tools we use or applicable law. The most recent version is always 
available on this page, with the "Last updated" date at the top.
