Depending on the tools used by the store, service providers may include payment processors, shipping platforms, email marketing providers, SMS providers, subscription-app providers, analytics platforms, customer support systems, and advertising or remarketing platforms.

The site may use cookies, pixels, tags, web beacons, and similar technologies to remember preferences, keep the shopping cart functioning, understand how visitors use the site, measure campaign performance, and improve marketing and store performance.
These technologies may collect device information, browser type, pages viewed, referral sources, time spent on the site, and interactions with the store. Customers can often control cookies through browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may affect how the site functions.

Customers may choose to receive marketing emails and, if offered, SMS messages through checkout, account creation, pop-ups, or sign-up forms. Marketing consent is not required to make a purchase.
Customers can unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in the email. SMS recipients may opt out by following the instructions provided in the message, if SMS marketing is enabled.
