Cookies & Storage
Last updated: 31 October 2026
Draft notice: the owner's legal identity, verified contact details, provider agreements and retention policies still require confirmation before launch.
1. Essential storage
SHO Studio uses necessary browser storage to keep your Shopify-linked shopping bag, sign-in session and cookie preferences working. The sho-cookie-choice entry contains your optional analytics choice, notice version and timestamp. We ask again after 180 days or when the notice version changes. Authentication and cart storage are managed by their respective services; provider cookie names and lifetimes must be verified in the final inventory. Session storage may be used by the sign-in provider during login.
2. Optional analytics
PostHog is not loaded until you choose Accept analytics or enable it in preferences. It receives page-category views, product/colour selection interactions, personalization/save interactions and active seconds on a page. Identifiers use memory only; this integration does not persist PostHog cookies or local-storage identifiers. It does not collect your design contents or record sessions. Optional analytics still requires your permission even when identifiers are kept in memory.
3. Accept, reject or change your mind
Reject optional keeps browsing, shopping and accounts available. Accept analytics permits only the analytics described here, not advertising or marketing emails. Choose preferences provides an unchecked analytics option. Use Cookie preferences in the footer or My Studio to change your choice at any time. Rejecting stops future PostHog capture; previously collected data remains subject to the final provider retention policy.
4. Other services
Shopify checkout and external sign-in pages may use their own required storage and privacy notices. The site owner must audit any existing platform analytics, Shopify apps, embeds or advertising tags and configure their consent controls separately. This notice does not claim that an app-level choice controls platform-injected tracking or cookies on another website.
