Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Brave Crab uses cookies and similar technologies on our website.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device (phone, tablet or computer) when you visit a website.
They help the site function properly, remember your preferences and understand how people use the site.

Cookies are completely normal — almost all websites use them.

2. How We Use Cookies

Brave Crab uses cookies for the following purposes:

Essential cookies

These are required for the website to work.
They allow you to:
• add items to your cart
• check out securely
• navigate the website
Without these, the site couldn’t function.

Performance & analytics cookies

These help us understand how people use the site so we can improve it.
We use Shopify’s built‑in analytics and may use tools such as Google Analytics, which collect anonymous information like:
• which pages are visited
• how long people stay on the site
• how visitors found us

Functional cookies

These remember choices you make, such as:
• your location
• your device type
• preferences like currency or language

Marketing cookies (if enabled)

These may be used to show relevant adverts on other websites or social platforms.
They track things like which products you’ve viewed so we can share more personalised content.

3. Third‑Party Cookies

Because we use Shopify and trusted third‑party services, cookies may also be set by:
• Shopify
• Google Analytics
• Payment processors (Shopify Payments, PayPal, etc.)
• Social media platforms (if you click a link or share a page)

These services only collect information needed to offer their features.

4. How to Manage Cookies

You can accept or decline cookies using your browser settings.
Most browsers allow you to:
• block cookies
• delete existing cookies
• set preferences for specific websites

Please be aware that blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site from working properly — for example, your shopping cart may not save items.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy occasionally.
Any changes will be posted on this page, and your continued use of the site means you accept the updated policy.
