We may also allow third parties and service providers to use cookies on our Site to better personalize services, products, and advertising on our Site and on other websites.Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can choose to set your browser to remove or reject cookies through your browser controls. Please note that removing or blocking cookies may negatively impact your user experience and may cause some Services, including certain general features and functionalities, to not work properly or to become unavailable. In addition, blocking cookies may not completely prevent how we share information with third parties, such as our advertising partners.
  
  Our website also recognizes the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which allows you to opt out of certain uses or disclosures of your information. If you communicate your preference through GPC, we will treat that signal as a valid request to opt out of sharing/targeted advertising for the associated browser or device, and, if we are able to associate the device sending the signal with your Shopify account, we will apply the opt-out request to the account as well. To learn more about Global Privacy Control, you can visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/. In addition to Global Privacy Control, we do not recognize other “Do Not Track” signals that may be sent from your web browser or device.
