Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 13, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Sticksy uses them, and what choices you have.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, improve your browsing experience, and provide information to the website owner.
How We Use Cookies
Sticksy uses cookies for the following purposes:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for our website to function. They enable core features like shopping cart functionality, checkout, account login, and security. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate properly. You cannot opt out of essential cookies.
Examples include:
- Session cookies — keep you logged in and maintain your shopping cart as you browse.
- Security cookies — help detect and prevent fraudulent activity.
- Checkout cookies — ensure your payment and order information is processed correctly.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are visited most, how long people stay, and where they come from. This information is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not identify you personally. We use this data to improve our website and your experience.
We use tools such as Shopify Analytics to collect this information.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
If you have opted in to marketing, we may use cookies to show you relevant advertisements on other websites or social media platforms. These cookies track your browsing activity across sites to deliver ads that are more relevant to your interests.
You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time (see "Your Choices" below).
Affiliate Cookies
If you arrive at our website through an affiliate link, a cookie is placed on your device to track the referral. This cookie lasts for 60 days and is used solely to attribute sales to the referring affiliate. It does not collect any personal information beyond the referral source.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use, such as:
- Shopify — our e-commerce platform, which sets cookies for cart functionality, analytics, and fraud prevention.
- Payment processors — such as PayPal, which may set cookies during the checkout process.
- Analytics providers — tools that help us measure website performance.
These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review them.
Your Choices
You have several options for managing cookies:
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View what cookies are stored on your device.
- Delete some or all cookies.
- Block cookies from being set in the future.
- Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set.
Please note that blocking or deleting essential cookies may prevent our website from functioning correctly — for example, you may not be able to add items to your cart or complete checkout.
Opting Out of Advertising Cookies
You can opt out of interest-based advertising through:
- Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (DAAC)
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI)
- Your browser's "Do Not Track" settings
Mobile Devices
On mobile devices, you can control advertising identifiers through your device settings (for example, "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS or "Opt Out of Ads Personalization" on Android).
How Long Do Cookies Last?
- Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (which varies by cookie) or until you delete them manually.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
