This Cookie Policy explains how EVAR uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, and complements the "Cookies and similar technologies" section of our Privacy Policy.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies (such as local storage) work the same way and are treated the same under this Policy.
Categories of cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Requires consent? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Operate the store: keep items in your cart, remember your session, secure checkout, detect fraud, and remember your cookie choice itself. | No — required to provide the service you've requested. |
| Analytics | Understand how the store is used (pages viewed, general traffic patterns) so we can improve it. | Yes. |
| Marketing | Measure and, where enabled, personalise advertising. | Yes. |
Cookies set by Shopify (our platform)
EVAR is built on Shopify, which sets a standard set of cookies to run the store and checkout. These include:
| Cookie | Purpose | Typical retention |
|---|---|---|
| cart | Maintains the contents of your shopping cart. | Up to 2 weeks |
| _secure_session_id / _shopify_s | Session-level store analytics and security. | Session / up to 24 hours |
| _shopify_y / _y | Store analytics (unique visitor tracking). | Up to 1 year |
| _orig_referrer / _landing_page | Records how you arrived at the store, for attribution. | Up to 2 weeks |
| _shopify_sa_p / _shopify_sa_t | Marketing-attribution cookies, only set where analytics/marketing consent has been given. | Up to 30 days |
Retention periods above are Shopify's published defaults and may be updated by Shopify from time to time; see Shopify's Cookie Policy for the current list.
Cookies from apps and features we use
We may enable additional analytics, marketing, or personalisation apps from time to time (for example, on-site search, back-in-stock notifications, or advertising pixels). Where any such feature sets non-essential cookies, it is gated behind the consent choice below, and will appear in the live cookie-preferences list described next.
Your choices
When you first visit, a cookie banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time — including seeing the specific cookies currently active and their individual retention periods — via the "Cookie settings" link in the site footer, which reopens your live preferences. Declining or withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew it, and does not affect strictly necessary cookies, which remain active to keep the store working.
