Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 25, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how The Whitening Store ("The Whitening Store," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with TheWhiteningStore.com (the "Site").
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small data files that websites store on or access from your browser or device. Cookies can help websites function properly, remember preferences, maintain shopping carts, understand how visitors use a website, and support advertising and marketing activities.
We and the service providers that support our Site may also use technologies that perform similar functions, including pixels, tags, web beacons, software development tools, local storage, and other device or browser-based technologies. References to "cookies" in this Policy generally include these similar technologies where applicable.
Some cookies are placed directly through our Site or the Shopify platform. Others may be placed or accessed by third-party service providers that support features or services used on our Site.
Why we use cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our ecommerce store, provide requested features, remember your preferences, understand Site performance, protect our Site and customers, measure the effectiveness of our marketing, and, where permitted, personalize advertising.
The cookies and similar technologies used on our Site generally fall into the following categories.
Required cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Site and our ecommerce services to function properly. They support essential features such as maintaining your shopping cart, processing checkout, providing secure account functionality, remembering privacy choices, preventing fraud and unauthorized activity, maintaining Site security, and providing other services you request.
Required cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie preference controls because they are necessary for core Site functionality. You may be able to block certain cookies through your browser settings, but doing so may cause portions of the Site, cart, account, or checkout to stop working properly.
Personalization cookies
These cookies help us remember information about your interactions and preferences so we can provide a more personalized experience when you visit the Site.
They may be used to remember choices such as country, region, currency, language, account preferences, or other Site settings and interactions.
Where required by applicable law, Personalization cookies will not be used unless you choose to allow them through our cookie preference controls.
Marketing cookies
We and our service providers, including Shopify and other marketing or advertising partners, may use Marketing cookies and similar technologies to measure advertising performance, understand whether marketing resulted in visits or purchases, create or measure audiences, and show advertising that may be more relevant to you on other websites or services.
These technologies may involve information about your activity on our Site being associated with activity on other websites, apps, devices, or services.
Where required by applicable law, Marketing cookies will not be used unless you choose to allow them through our cookie preference controls.
Certain privacy laws may provide additional rights regarding the use or disclosure of personal information for advertising, targeted advertising, sale, or sharing. Where applicable, you may contact us to exercise privacy rights available to you under applicable law.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site, including which pages are visited, how visitors navigate the Site, how they arrive at the Site, and how Site features perform.
We use this information to evaluate and improve our Site, products, customer experience, and business operations.
Where required by applicable law, Analytics cookies will not be used unless you choose to allow them through our cookie preference controls.
Shopify
Our online store is powered by Shopify. Shopify uses cookies and similar technologies to provide ecommerce functionality, including functions relating to storefront operation, checkout, shopping carts, customer accounts, localization, security, analytics, and customer privacy preferences.
Shopify maintains information about cookies and similar technologies used through its platform in its own Cookie Policy. Shopify's use of information is also subject to its applicable privacy documentation.
Third-party services
We use third-party companies and applications to help operate and improve our business and Site. Depending on the services enabled when you visit, these providers may support functions such as payment processing, checkout, fraud prevention, analytics, advertising and conversion measurement, customer reviews, email marketing, customer communications, Site functionality, and other ecommerce services.
Some of these providers may place or access cookies or similar technologies through our Site. The technologies used by third parties can change as we add, remove, or update Site services.
Where required by applicable law, non-essential third-party technologies are intended to operate according to the privacy and consent choices available through our Site.
Third-party providers may also process information under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy information provided by services with which you interact.
Cookie duration
Some cookies are "session" cookies and are deleted or expire after you close your browser or end your browsing session.
Other cookies are "persistent" cookies and may remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them. The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and the provider that sets it. We and our service providers may update cookie durations as technologies and services change.
Your cookie choices
Depending on your location, you may be presented with a cookie banner or preference tool that allows you to accept, reject, or manage certain categories of non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
Where applicable law requires consent, we use the choices made through our consent mechanism to determine whether certain non-essential technologies may operate.
You may change or withdraw your consent where the Site provides that functionality. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, restrict, or block cookies. Blocking all cookies may interfere with essential Site functions, including shopping cart, checkout, account, localization, or other requested features.
Your Privacy Choices and Global Privacy Control
Residents of certain jurisdictions may have the right to opt out of certain uses or disclosures of personal information, including activities that applicable law defines as the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information or processing for targeted advertising.
Where these rights apply and are supported by our Site, you can exercise them through the Your Privacy Choices link available on TheWhiteningStore.com.
Where required by applicable law and supported by our privacy technology, we also recognize applicable browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control ("GPC"), as a request to opt out of covered activities.
Your rights and the manner in which a request is processed may depend on your jurisdiction.
Visitors from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, and other consent-based jurisdictions
If you access our Site from a jurisdiction where applicable law requires consent before non-essential cookies or similar technologies may be stored or accessed, we use a consent mechanism intended to provide choices regarding those technologies.
Strictly necessary technologies may operate without consent where permitted because they are required to provide the Site, secure transactions, maintain your shopping cart, remember your privacy choices, or provide another service you request.
You may change your available cookie preferences through the privacy controls provided on the Site.
International visitors
The Whitening Store serves customers in multiple countries. Privacy, cookie, electronic communications, and online advertising laws vary by jurisdiction.
The privacy controls, choices, disclosures, and rights available to you may therefore differ based on your location and applicable law. We may adjust the operation of cookies, consent mechanisms, privacy choices, or other technologies based on applicable legal requirements and the markets in which we operate.
Nothing in this Cookie Policy is intended to limit any rights that cannot lawfully be limited under applicable privacy or consumer-protection law.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes to our Site, technology, service providers, business practices, or applicable legal requirements.
When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this Policy. Where required by law, we may also provide additional notice or request renewed consent.
