Cookie policy

Last updated: 10/12/2025

This Cookie Policy explains how katarinanord.com (“the Site”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies to provide, improve, and secure our online store.
This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process personal data.


1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the Site function properly, remember your preferences, enable secure checkout, and allow us to understand how visitors use the store.

Cookies can be:

  • Essential (necessary): required for the website and checkout to work.
  • Analytics: help us understand traffic and performance (Shopify’s built-in analytics).
  • Functional: remember preferences such as language.
  • Marketing: used for personalized content or ads (only if enabled).

Because your store uses Shopify’s default cookie settings, most cookies fall under essential and basic analytics categories.


2. Cookies We Use

Our Site relies on cookies automatically provided by Shopify, including:

Essential cookies (always active):

Used for:

  • keeping your shopping cart active
  • enabling checkout
  • maintaining site security
  • remembering session information
  • detecting errors and preventing fraud

These cookies do not require consent under EU law because the website cannot function without them.

Analytics cookies (Shopify basic analytics):

These cookies help us understand:

  • which pages visitors view
  • how they navigate the site
  • general performance data

These analytics are anonymous and do not personally identify you.

We do not use Google Analytics unless explicitly added.

Marketing cookies (optional):

If you accept marketing cookies through the cookie banner, Shopify may use tracking pixels for:

  • Meta (Instagram/Facebook) integrations
  • performance measurement of ads

If you do not accept marketing cookies, these tools do not run.


3. How You Can Manage Cookies

You can control or disable cookies in several ways:

a) Through your browser settings

Most browsers allow you to:

  • block cookies
  • delete cookies
  • receive warnings before cookies are stored

Please note:
Disabling essential cookies may prevent the Site and checkout from functioning properly.

b) Through our cookie banner

On your first visit, you can choose:

  • Accept all cookies
  • Accept only necessary cookies
  • Customize preferences (if enabled)

You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the Site.


4. Third-Party Cookies

The following service providers may set cookies when you use our Site:

  • Shopify (store platform & analytics)
  • Stripe / Shopify Payments (for secure payment processing)
  • Meta (Instagram/Facebook) – if marketing cookies are accepted

These providers may use cookies for security, fraud prevention, and functionality.


5. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology or legal requirements.
The “Last updated” date will always indicate the latest version.
