This Policy must be read together with the GOGOLI Privacy & Data Protection Policy.

Remember privacy choices
Prevent fraud and misuse
Measure website performance

3. SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
This Policy also applies, where relevant, to technologies that perform functions similar to cookies, including:
Pixels
Tags
Web beacons
Local storage
Session storage
Software-development kits
Device identifiers
Scripts
Embedded content
Application programming interfaces
Other storage or access technologies
References to “cookies” in this Policy include these similar technologies unless the context requires otherwise.
4. FIRST-PARTY AND THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
First-party cookies are placed or accessed through the domain being visited, including cookies used through the GOGOLI Store.
Third-party cookies or technologies may be placed or operated by an independent service provider whose technology is used by the Store.
Service providers may include, depending on the functions enabled:
Shopify
Payment providers
Banks and card networks
Fraud-prevention and security providers
Analytics providers
Marketing providers
Customer-support services
Social-media or embedded-content providers
Applications installed in the Shopify Store
A service provider may process information as:
A processor or service provider acting for GOGOLI;
An independent controller responsible for its own purposes; or
Another role determined by applicable law and the relevant service.
Further information about recipients and international transfers is provided in the Privacy & Data Protection Policy.
5. COOKIE CATEGORIES
The Store may use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies.
5.1 Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the Store, cart, checkout, security, privacy controls, customer-account functions, or another service expressly requested by the visitor to operate.
They may be used to:
Maintain a secure session
Operate the shopping cart
Remember the selected country or currency
Apply a discount code
Operate checkout
Process or secure payment
Authenticate a customer
Prevent fraud, abuse, and tampering
Balance website traffic
Remember cookie-consent choices
Provide password-protected Store access
Maintain essential technical functionality
Where applicable law permits, strictly necessary cookies may be used without optional consent because the requested service cannot reasonably be provided without them.
They cannot be disabled through the GOGOLI cookie-preference panel where they are technically essential.
Visitors may block them through browser settings, but doing so may prevent parts of the Store from functioning.
5.2 Functional and preference cookies
Functional and preference cookies may remember choices such as:
Language
Country or region
Currency
Display preferences
Login preferences
Customer-account preferences
Other optional Store settings
Where consent is required by applicable law, these cookies will not be activated before the visitor makes the relevant choice.
Refusing them may reduce personalisation but should not prevent access to the basic Store unless a particular function genuinely requires the relevant technology.
5.3 Analytics and performance cookies
Analytics and performance cookies may help GOGOLI or its service providers understand:
How visitors reach the Store
Which pages are visited
How visitors move between pages
Approximate session duration
Browser and device characteristics
General geographic region
Store performance
Technical errors
Search and navigation activity
Cart and checkout interaction
Aggregated conversion information
This information may be used to:
Measure Store performance
Understand demand
Improve navigation
Improve product presentation
Identify technical problems
Assess whether content is useful
Improve customer experience
Prepare aggregated reports
Where consent is required, analytics and performance technologies will not be activated before consent.
Rejecting analytics cookies will not prevent a visitor from browsing or purchasing, although GOGOLI may receive less complete performance information.
5.4 Marketing and advertising cookies
Marketing or advertising cookies and pixels may be used, where enabled, to:
Measure advertising campaigns
Understand whether a visitor arrived through an advertisement
Limit repeated advertisements
Build or measure audiences
Personalise advertising
Measure conversions
Provide interest-based or targeted advertising
Connect Store activity with an advertising platform
These technologies may allow a provider to recognise a browser or device across different websites or services.
Marketing and advertising technologies will not be activated before valid consent where consent is required.
The absence of consent will not prevent a customer from purchasing a product.
GOGOLI will not intentionally install an advertising pixel without updating the relevant cookie information and configuring the required privacy controls.
5.5 Social-media and embedded-content technologies
The Store may provide links to GOGOLI’s social-media profiles.
A standard link does not necessarily place a social-media cookie on the GOGOLI Store.
However, an embedded video, social-media feed, sharing tool, map, or other third-party content may allow the relevant provider to place or access cookies when the content is loaded or used.
Where required, such content will be blocked or limited until the visitor consents to the relevant cookie category.
After leaving the Store for a third-party website, the visitor becomes subject to that provider’s own privacy and cookie practices.
6. INFORMATION THAT MAY BE COLLECTED
Depending on the cookie and enabled service, information collected through cookies or similar technologies may include:
IP address
Browser type and version
Device type
Operating system
Device or browser identifiers
Approximate location derived from an IP address
Language
Country or region
Currency
Referring page or website
Pages viewed
Links selected
Session time
Navigation activity
Cart contents
Checkout activity
Discount information
Login status
Consent preferences
Order or transaction-related technical information
Security and fraud indicators
Advertising or campaign identifiers
Interaction with embedded content
Cookie data may be combined with other information only where there is an appropriate legal basis and the combination is described in the Privacy & Data Protection Policy.
7. PURPOSES OF PROCESSING
Information obtained through cookies may be processed for purposes including:
Operating and securing the Store
Providing requested ecommerce functions
Operating the cart and checkout
Authenticating customers
Remembering selections and preferences
Preventing fraud and abuse
Maintaining transaction integrity
Processing payments
Providing customer accounts
Complying with legal obligations
Remembering privacy choices
Measuring Store performance
Improving products and website presentation
Troubleshooting technical problems
Preparing aggregated statistics
Measuring marketing activity
Personalising advertising where consented to
Managing legal claims and disputes
Protecting the rights, safety, and property of GOGOLI, customers, and service providers
8. LEGAL BASIS
The legal basis for processing cookie-related personal information depends on the purpose, technology, visitor location, and applicable law.
Strictly necessary technologies may be used where necessary to:
Provide a service expressly requested by the visitor;
Take steps requested before entering into a contract;
Perform a contract;
Secure the Store or transaction;
Comply with a legal obligation;
Protect legitimate interests where those interests are not overridden by the visitor’s rights; or
Rely on another lawful basis recognised by applicable law.
Where consent is legally required for a cookie or similar technology, GOGOLI will rely on consent and will not intentionally activate that technology before consent has been obtained.
Consent for cookies is separate from consent to receive marketing emails or messages.
Providing consent for one cookie category does not automatically provide consent for another category.

The relevant device and browser

10. ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS, PIXELS, AND SERVICES
Shopify applications or independently installed services may introduce additional cookies, pixels, scripts, or similar technologies.
GOGOLI periodically reviews:
Installed Shopify applications
Theme code
Custom scripts
Connected sales channels
Payment integrations
Analytics settings
Advertising pixels
Embedded media
Customer-support tools
Email-marketing tools
Shopify Network Intelligence settings
Customer-privacy settings
Any additional non-essential cookie or provider identified through that review must be:
Correctly categorised;
Disclosed in this Policy or an accessible cookie list;
Blocked until consent where required;
Connected to the Store’s consent mechanism where technically necessary; and
Removed where it is unnecessary or cannot be used lawfully.
At the date of this Policy version, no independently installed advertising pixel should be treated as approved for activation unless it has been separately recorded, configured, and tested through the Store’s privacy system.
11. COOKIE BANNER AND CONSENT CHOICES
Where required by applicable law or configured by GOGOLI, visitors will be shown a cookie banner or preference panel.
The banner or panel may provide choices including:
Accept all
Reject non-essential cookies
Manage preferences
Enable or disable individual cookie categories
Save selected preferences
Consent choices must not be pre-selected.
Continuing to browse the Store without making a clear choice will not, by itself, be treated as consent to non-essential cookies where active consent is required.
Rejecting non-essential cookies must be available without an unnecessary disadvantage.
Where category-level choices are required, visitors will be allowed to make separate choices for the relevant categories.
Strictly necessary cookies will remain active where they are essential to provide the requested Store service.
12. CHANGING OR WITHDRAWING CONSENT
Visitors may change or withdraw their cookie choices at any time through the Store’s:
Cookie preferences link;
Privacy settings link;
Cookie banner when made available again; or
Other privacy-preference mechanism provided in the Store footer or policies.
Withdrawing consent is effective for future use of the relevant non-essential technology.
Withdrawal does not make processing that was lawfully carried out before withdrawal unlawful.
Changing preferences may not automatically delete cookies already stored on the device.
Visitors may delete stored cookies through their browser or device settings.
13. BROWSER AND DEVICE CONTROLS
Most browsers allow users to:
View stored cookies
Delete cookies
Block all cookies
Block third-party cookies
Limit cookies to particular websites
Delete cookies when the browser closes
Control site permissions
Blocking all cookies may cause Store functions to stop working correctly, including:
Cart functions
Country or currency selection
Login
Checkout
Security verification
Privacy-preference storage
Browser controls operate separately from the Store’s cookie-preference panel.
14. GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL AND UNITED STATES PRIVACY CHOICES
Some browsers or extensions transmit a Global Privacy Control signal or another recognised opt-out preference.
Where required by applicable law and supported by the Store’s configured technology, GOGOLI and Shopify may treat a recognised signal as a request to opt out of certain sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or related data uses.
Visitors in relevant United States jurisdictions may also be provided with a:
Your Privacy Choices link;
Data sharing opt-out page; or
Equivalent privacy control.
GOGOLI does not knowingly exchange personal information for money merely through the use of the Store.
However, some privacy laws define “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising more broadly than an exchange for money.
Where such definitions apply, the relevant opt-out controls will be provided and respected to the extent required by law.
15. SHOPIFY NETWORK INTELLIGENCE
Shopify may offer functions known as Shopify Network Intelligence or Enhanced Services.
Whether these functions are active depends on the Store’s Shopify settings.
Where Shopify Network Intelligence is enabled:
The GOGOLI Privacy & Data Protection Policy must contain the additional information required for that service;
Applicable cookie and data-sharing choices must be transmitted through Shopify’s privacy controls;
Recognised opt-out choices must be respected where required; and
Non-essential use must remain subject to the applicable consent or opt-out rules.
The service will not be intentionally enabled or materially changed without reviewing the Privacy & Data Protection Policy, Cookie Policy, banner settings, and data-sharing controls.
16. PAYMENT, CHECKOUT, AND SECURITY TECHNOLOGIES
Shopify, iyzico, banks, card networks, fraud-prevention providers, or other payment services may use cookies or similar technologies required to:
Operate checkout
Authenticate a transaction
Perform 3D Secure
Prevent fraud
Protect payment information
Maintain transaction security
Comply with legal and regulatory requirements
Some technologies may operate on a payment provider’s own website or domain rather than on gogolihandmade.com.
When a visitor enters an independent provider’s environment, that provider may process information under its own privacy and cookie notices.
GOGOLI does not ordinarily receive or store the customer’s complete card number, card-security code, or online-banking password.
17. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Shopify and other service providers may process cookie-related information in countries other than the visitor’s country.
This may involve a transfer of personal information from:
Türkiye;
The European Economic Area;
The United Kingdom;
Switzerland; or
Another country
to a jurisdiction with different data-protection laws.
Where required, transfers will be based on an appropriate legal mechanism or safeguard described in the Privacy & Data Protection Policy.
Cookie consent does not automatically replace a separate legal requirement applicable to an international transfer.
18. RETENTION
A session cookie generally remains until the browser session ends.
A persistent cookie remains until:
Its stated expiry period ends;
The visitor deletes it;
The relevant provider removes it; or
The cookie is replaced.
The duration stated in this Policy represents the typical duration published for the relevant technology at the time of the Policy version.
A provider may change a cookie’s name, function, or duration because of security, platform, or technical updates.
GOGOLI will review material changes and update this Policy where necessary.
Deleting a cookie from a device does not necessarily delete information that has already been lawfully recorded in:
Security logs
Order records
Consent records
Fraud-prevention records
Analytics reports
Legal-compliance records
The retention of those records is governed by the Privacy & Data Protection Policy and applicable law.
19. CHILDREN
The Store and its products are not directed to children unless a product page expressly states otherwise.
GOGOLI does not knowingly use cookies to create advertising profiles of children.
A parent or legal guardian who believes that a child’s information has been processed improperly may contact:
20. THIRD-PARTY RESPONSIBILITY
GOGOLI selects and configures service providers with reasonable care.
However, an independent third party is responsible for its own:
Website
Technology
Security practices
Cookie policy
Privacy policy
Independent processing purposes
Changes made outside GOGOLI’s reasonable control
Nothing in this section removes a responsibility that applicable law places on GOGOLI for a provider used on GOGOLI’s behalf.
21. SECURITY
GOGOLI and its service providers use reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect Store and cookie-related information.
No website, cookie, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Visitors must not:
Attempt unauthorised access;
Manipulate cookie values;
Bypass Store security;
Interfere with checkout;
Introduce malicious code;
Use cookies or session identifiers belonging to another person.
GOGOLI may investigate suspicious or abusive activity and may retain relevant security evidence where legally permitted.
22. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
This Policy may be updated to reflect changes involving:
Applicable law
Official guidance
Shopify
Applications
Payment providers
Analytics tools
Advertising tools
Store functionality
Cookie names
Cookie durations
Consent technology
International transfers
GOGOLI’s business practices
The version and “Last updated” date will be changed when a material revision is made.
Where required by law, GOGOLI will provide a new notice or request renewed consent before materially different non-essential processing begins.
A later version of this Policy does not retrospectively convert an invalid consent into a valid consent.
