Cookies generally do not contain information that directly identifies you. However, in certain situations, information collected through cookies may become associated with personal information if you voluntarily provide such information during your interaction with our website.

3. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, websites may use technologies such as:

• Web beacons
• Pixel tags
• Local storage
• Session storage
• Software development kits (SDKs)
• Device identifiers

These technologies perform functions similar to cookies by helping websites operate efficiently, improve security, and better understand how visitors use online services.

As of the Effective Date of this Cookie Policy, Westford Shop primarily relies on Shopify's essential cookie technologies necessary for the operation of the online store.

If additional technologies are implemented in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated accordingly.

4. Types of Cookies

Cookies can be classified in several different ways.

• Detect fraudulent activity;
• Process purchases;
• Improve website reliability;

Some Shopify cookies may remain active only during your browsing session, while others may remain on your device for a limited period depending on their purpose.

Because these cookies are essential to the operation of the website, they generally cannot be disabled without affecting the functionality of the online store.

From time to time, we may integrate third-party service providers that assist us with operating our business.

Examples may include:

• Payment processors;
• Shipping providers;
• Customer support platforms;

• Marketing providers;
• Website analytics providers.

Each third-party provider operates under its own privacy practices and may place cookies in accordance with its own policies.

Westford Shop does not control the cookie practices of independent third-party providers.

Most major browsers provide tools for controlling cookies, including:

• Google Chrome

• Opera

Instructions for managing cookies can usually be found within your browser's Help or Settings section.

Because browser features change periodically, we recommend consulting your browser developer's official documentation for the most current instructions.

16. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" ("DNT") feature that allows users to indicate a preference regarding online tracking.

Currently, there is no universally accepted industry standard governing how websites should respond to DNT signals.

Accordingly, Westford Shop does not currently respond differently to browser-based Do Not Track requests.

If recognized standards are established in the future, we may revise our practices and update this Cookie Policy accordingly.

These technologies may include, but are not limited to:

• Website analytics;
• Customer support tools;
• Live chat services;

Whenever the introduction of new technologies materially changes our use of cookies, we will update this Cookie Policy to accurately reflect those changes and, where required by applicable law, obtain any necessary user consent before deploying non-essential cookies.
