Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Carat & Muse and Shopify may also use similar technologies, such as pixels, to support the online store. The technologies in use can vary with store settings, your region, and services enabled for the store.
Why they may be used
- Essential: Support core store functions such as the cart, checkout, and security.
- Preferences: Remember choices such as region or privacy preferences where those features are available.
- Analytics and marketing: If enabled for the store, help measure how the store is used or support advertising and its measurement.
The exact cookies, providers, and storage periods can change as Shopify services and any enabled integrations change. Shopify publishes a current list of Shopify cookies and their purposes.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 through the Google & YouTube app to measure store visits and commerce activity, such as page and product views, cart and checkout events, and purchases. Depending on your privacy choices, Google receives information about those interactions, products and transaction totals, device and browser information, and online identifiers. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies and may process information outside your country.
Our Analytics property has Google Signals, ads personalization and user-provided data collection disabled and is not linked to Google Ads. User-level and event-level Analytics retention is set to two months, without resetting the period on new activity. This setting does not limit most aggregated standard reports or set browser-cookie expiry. Browser cookies can remain until they expire or you delete them.
The integration receives privacy choices through Shopify's native privacy settings. In our configured US regions, recognized GPC signals and sale or sharing opt-outs are recorded separately from analytics choices. A sale or sharing opt-out does not by itself disable every analytics cookie: basic Analytics measurement may continue when your analytics settings allow it. We have configured the Google tag to prevent behavioral analytics transmission when analytics storage is denied, and to prevent advertising transmission when advertising storage is denied. Use Your Privacy Choices for sale or sharing opt-outs, or your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Read how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and our Privacy Policy.
Your choices
Use cookie preference controls shown on the store, when available, to manage non-essential cookie choices. You can also use your browser or device settings to block or delete cookies. Blocking all cookies can affect features that rely on them, including the cart and checkout. Deleting cookies may clear saved preferences and require you to make a choice again.
A choice made in a browser generally applies to that browser and device. Where an account-based choice is offered, it may also be associated with your account. You may need to set your choice separately in another browser or on another device.
Privacy choices and Global Privacy Control
In the United States, our privacy settings use an opt-out approach; visitors are not shown an accept-cookies gate. Our data-sharing opt-out is available in all 50 US states and Washington, DC. Use Your Privacy Choices to request that sale or sharing of personal information, or processing for targeted advertising, stop where applicable. Availability outside these US regions may vary. If you cannot access the controls, email caratandmuse@gmail.com or use our contact page to submit your privacy request. This choice is separate from blocking all cookies, and essential technologies needed for store operation may still be used.
Shopify can treat a recognized Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out request for sale or sharing and targeted advertising in regions where the store's data-sharing opt-out settings apply. A GPC signal is not a request to block every cookie. Shopify's customer privacy settings guide explains how these controls work.
