Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 2025
Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Social Proof Popup, operated by Laparaneza ("we," "our," or "us"), uses cookies and similar technologies. We believe in being transparent about what data we collect and how we use it.
The short version: We use minimal cookies, and only when absolutely necessary. Our popup script on your storefront sets no cookies on your visitors.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
Cookies We Use
On Your Storefront (Your Customers)
No Cookies Set
The Social Proof Popup script that loads on your storefront does not set any cookies on your visitors' browsers. Your customers can view the purchase notification popups without any cookies being stored on their devices.
This means:
- No tracking cookies on your store visitors
- No advertising or marketing cookies
- No analytics cookies from our script
- No cross-site tracking
- Full privacy for your customers
In the Shopify Admin Dashboard (Merchants Only)
When you (the merchant) access the Social Proof Popup settings within your Shopify admin, we use essential cookies:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookie | Authentication with Shopify App Bridge | Session (deleted when browser closes) |
These cookies are essential for the App to function within Shopify's admin interface. Without them, you would not be able to access or configure the App. They do not track your activity or store personal information beyond what is necessary for authentication.
Third-Party Cookies
When you use the App within Shopify admin, Shopify may set its own cookies to manage your session and authentication. These are governed by Shopify's Cookie Policy.
We do not use any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services that would set cookies.
What We Don't Use
For clarity, Social Proof Popup does not use:
- Advertising cookies - We don't run ads or track users for advertising
- Marketing cookies - We don't build marketing profiles
- Analytics cookies on storefronts - Our popup script includes no analytics
- Social media tracking cookies - We don't integrate social media trackers
- Cross-site tracking - We don't track users across websites
How to Manage Cookies
Since we only use essential session cookies in the admin dashboard, blocking them would prevent the App from functioning. However, you can manage cookies in your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect your ability to use Shopify admin and our App.
Consent
Because we only use essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the App to function, we do not require separate cookie consent under GDPR and ePrivacy regulations. Essential cookies are exempt from consent requirements.
Your store visitors are not subject to any cookie consent requirements from our App since we set no cookies on their devices.
Your Store's Cookie Policy
Since our App sets no cookies on your storefront visitors, you do not need to update your cookie policy or cookie consent banner specifically for Social Proof Popup. However, we recommend you maintain a comprehensive cookie policy for any other tools and services you use on your store.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or technology. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when we make changes. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
