Cookie Policy

Last Updated: [JUNE 2026]

This Cookie Policy explains how Bourbon Charity uses cookies and similar technologies on our Shopify website.

By using our website, you agree that we may use cookies and similar technologies as described in this Cookie Policy, unless you disable them through your browser settings or manage your preferences through any cookie banner, privacy settings, or opt-out tools available on our website.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites function properly, remember certain preferences, keep items in your cart, support checkout, protect against fraud, understand how visitors use the site, and improve the overall user experience.

Cookies may be set by Bourbon Charity, by Shopify as our website and ecommerce platform, or by third-party services we use in connection with our website, store, donation activity, fundraising campaigns, email marketing, analytics, advertising, social media, or payment processing.

How We Use Cookies

Bourbon Charity may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

1. Essential Website, Store, and Checkout Functionality

These cookies are necessary for our website and Shopify store to function properly. They may support features such as site navigation, security, fraud prevention, shopping cart functionality, checkout, payment processing, order fulfillment, account access, donation processing, form submissions, and other core website or store features.

Because these cookies are necessary for the website and store to work, they generally cannot be disabled through our website. You may be able to block them through your browser settings, but some parts of the website, store, cart, checkout, donation pages, or campaign features may not function properly.

2. Analytics and Performance

We may use analytics cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors interact with our website and store, including which pages are visited, how visitors arrive at the site, what campaigns or links generate traffic, how long visitors stay, what products or pages are viewed, and how visitors interact with donation, fundraising, merchandise, or campaign-related content.

This information helps us improve our website, store, fundraising campaigns, donor communications, merchandise offerings, and overall user experience.

3. Shopping, Donations, Fundraising, and Campaign Tools

We may use Shopify and other third-party tools to operate our store, process transactions, manage merchandise orders, process donations, host fundraising campaigns, manage sweepstakes or promotional campaigns, collect entries, process payments, prevent fraud, and provide campaign-related functionality.

These tools may use cookies or similar technologies to operate their services, remember user actions, process transactions, support checkout, detect fraud, analyze campaign performance, and provide customer support.

4. Email, Forms, and Communications

If you sign up for our email list, submit a form, make a purchase, make a donation, enter a campaign, or otherwise communicate with us through the website, cookies or similar technologies may be used to help process that interaction, remember form information, measure email or campaign performance, or improve future communications.

5. Social Media, Advertising, and Retargeting

We may use cookies, pixels, tags, or similar technologies from social media platforms or advertising providers to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns, understand audience engagement, promote Bourbon Charity’s mission, or show relevant content to people who have interacted with our website, Shopify store, merchandise, campaigns, or fundraising pages.

These technologies may allow third-party platforms to collect information about your activity on our website and across other websites or services. Your use of those platforms is also governed by their own privacy policies and settings.

Shopify and Third-Party Cookies

Our website is hosted and operated through Shopify. Shopify may use cookies and similar technologies to provide storefront functionality, cart and checkout features, security, fraud prevention, analytics, customer privacy controls, and other services related to operating our website and store.

Some cookies on our website may also be placed by third parties. These may include, but are not limited to:

Shopify and Shopify-related services
Payment processors
Donation and fundraising platforms
Sweepstakes, raffle, or campaign platforms
Email marketing and form providers
Analytics providers
Social media platforms
Advertising and retargeting platforms
Customer support tools
Embedded content providers
Shopify apps installed on our store

Bourbon Charity does not control all cookies or tracking technologies placed by third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of Shopify and any third-party services you interact with through our website.

Managing Cookies and Privacy Preferences

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete cookies, or receive a warning before cookies are stored.

You may also be able to manage certain cookie and privacy preferences through the cookie banner, privacy settings, or opt-out tools available on our website.

Please note that disabling cookies may affect how our website and Shopify store function. Some features, including shopping cart functionality, checkout, payment processing, donation forms, campaign pages, embedded tools, email signup forms, or other interactive features, may not work properly if cookies are disabled.

Depending on your location, you may also have the right to opt out of certain uses of cookies, pixels, or similar technologies for analytics, advertising, retargeting, or the sale or sharing of personal information. Where required by applicable law, including for certain visitors in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we will request consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

Data Sales, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising Opt-Outs

Depending on the laws that apply to you, you may have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information or the use of your personal information for targeted advertising.

If available on our website, you may use our data sharing opt-out page, cookie banner, privacy settings, or other privacy tools to exercise those rights.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Controls

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” or similar signals. Because there is not a uniform industry standard for responding to these signals, our website may not respond to all “Do Not Track” signals.

Where required by applicable law, we will honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, if our website or service providers are configured to receive and process those signals.

Visitors Outside the United States

Bourbon Charity is based in the United States, and our website is primarily intended for visitors located in the United States.

If you access our website from outside the United States, including from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions with privacy, data protection, or cookie laws, certain additional rights or choices may apply to you.

Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies, including certain analytics, advertising, social media, retargeting, or tracking technologies. Essential cookies that are necessary for website functionality, shopping cart functionality, checkout, security, fraud prevention, payment processing, or services requested by you may be used without separate consent where permitted by law.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of certain personal information, and you may have the right to object to or withdraw consent for certain types of processing. You may also have the right to opt out of certain analytics, advertising, retargeting, or data-sharing activities.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through the cookie banner, privacy settings, or opt-out tools provided on our website.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, Shopify store, technology, apps, service providers, fundraising tools, legal requirements, or privacy practices. When we update this Cookie Policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above.
