Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 7, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on thebedroomstor.com, their purposes and durations, and how visitors can control them.

1. Controller

The website is owned and operated by Roger Stephen Hildick, an individual sole proprietor using “The Bedroom Stor” as the name of his online storefront.

Contact: info@thebedroomstor.com, +1 (618) 624-5200, 6108 N Illinois St, Fairview Heights, IL 62208, United States.

2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

A cookie is a small text file stored on a browser or device. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits, and device identifiers. These technologies can remember cart contents, keep checkout secure, store privacy choices, localize a market, measure website use, and, with the required permission, measure or personalize marketing.

A session cookie expires when the browsing session ends. A persistent cookie remains until its stated expiry or until the visitor deletes it.

3. Cookie Categories

Strictly necessary

These technologies are required to provide the website, cart, checkout, account login, security, fraud prevention, load balancing, localization, and privacy-choice storage requested by the visitor. They cannot be disabled through the consent tool because the website cannot provide the requested function without them.

Functional or preference

These remember choices such as country, language, currency, login, or display preference. Where applicable law requires consent, they are activated only after that consent.

Analytics

These measure traffic, referrals, sessions, page and product interaction, errors, and store performance. In an opt-in region, they are activated only after analytics consent.

Marketing

These measure advertising, attribute visits or purchases to campaigns, create or limit audiences, and personalize advertising. In an opt-in region, they are activated only after marketing consent. A visitor can also opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising where applicable.

4. Shopify Storefront Cookies

The store is powered by Shopify. Depending on the feature used and the visitor’s consent, Shopify’s current merchant-storefront technologies include:

Cookie Purpose Category Duration
_shopify_essential Stores essential session, checkout, and anti-tampering information Strictly necessary 1 year
_shopify_test Checks whether the browser accepts cookies Strictly necessary 1 minute
_tracking_consent Stores privacy choices for the visitor’s region Strictly necessary / privacy preference 1 year
cart Stores cart information Strictly necessary 2 weeks
cart_currency Initializes a new cart in the currency used at the completed checkout Strictly necessary / preference 2 weeks
discount_code Carries a discount code received through a store URL to checkout Strictly necessary Session
localization Localizes the cart to the selected country Strictly necessary / preference 1 year
login_with_shop_finalize Facilitates login with Shop Strictly necessary when Shop login is used 5 minutes
shopify_pay Recognizes a returning buyer for Shop Pay login Strictly necessary when Shop Pay is used 1 year
storefront_digest Allows authorized preview of a password-protected storefront Strictly necessary when that feature is used 1 year

_shopify_y Supports Shopify analytics Analytics 1 year
shop_analytics Stores information required for analytics in Shop Analytics 1 year
_shopify_marketing Stores marketing data for buyer-facing surfaces Marketing 1 year

Not every cookie appears for every visitor. Cookies used for Shop, Shop Pay, accounts, or a password-protected preview appear only when the corresponding feature is used. Shopify can update its cookie names or duration as its platform changes. The active consent tool and this Policy must be updated when a material change occurs.

Shopify’s current platform cookie information is available at https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies.

5. Third-Party Pixels and Cookies

Installed sales channels, analytics tools, advertising tools, reviews, chat, video, social-media, payment, fraud-prevention, or other applications can use additional technologies. Every active non-essential provider must be identified in the website’s live Cookie Preferences tool with its purpose and category before activation in a region requiring consent.

We do not authorize an unlisted third-party provider to load a non-essential cookie before the required consent. When a new provider is enabled, we update the consent configuration and this Policy before using it for affected visitors.

6. Consent

For visitors in the EEA and other regions requiring prior consent:

  • strictly necessary technologies operate without consent only to provide a requested service or protect the website;

  • analytics, functional, and marketing technologies requiring consent remain disabled until the visitor selects them;

  • “Reject non-essential” is available as clearly and easily as “Accept”; and

  • refusing or withdrawing consent does not prevent ordinary browsing or purchase, although an optional feature can be unavailable if it requires the declined technology.

Consent is recorded and can be withdrawn at any time through Cookie Preferences in the website footer. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

7. Managing Cookies and Privacy Choices

A visitor can:

  • use Cookie Preferences to accept, reject, or change non-essential categories;

  • use Your Privacy Choices to opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising where applicable;

  • send a Global Privacy Control signal where recognized by applicable law;

  • block or delete cookies through browser settings; and

  • use provider-specific controls described in the live preference tool.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies can prevent the cart, checkout, login, localization, fraud prevention, or privacy settings from functioning.

8. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Browsers do not use a single industry-standard interpretation of “Do Not Track,” so the website does not respond to a general DNT signal unless required by law.

Where legally required, Shopify’s privacy controls recognize Global Privacy Control as an opt-out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising for the browser and device sending the signal.

9. Personal Information

Information collected through cookies is handled under the Privacy Policy, including its sections on purposes, legal bases, recipients, international transfers, retention, and rights.

10. Changes to This Policy

We can update this Policy when technology, providers, law, or website functionality changes. The revised version will be posted with a new “Last updated” date. A new consent will be requested where a material change legally requires it.
