Cookie Policy
Last updated 2026-05-19.
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to site owners.
2. How we use cookies
We use four categories of cookies, controllable via the Privacy Banner at the bottom of every page on bananarat.com.
3. Categories
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Consent required (EU/UK) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Required for the site to function | Cart, session, CSRF, locale | No — strictly necessary |
| Analytics | Understand site usage | Google Analytics (consent-gated) | Yes |
| Marketing | Ad attribution and remarketing | Google Ads, Facebook Pixel | Yes |
| Preferences | Remember your settings | Locale, currency, banner state | Yes (UK/EU strict) |
4. Managing your consent
You can update or withdraw consent at any time:
- Click the Privacy Banner at the bottom of any page to re-open consent settings.
- EU/UK visitors get the strict-opt-in version: nothing fires until you explicitly grant per-category consent.
- Visitors from regions without strict consent rules (e.g., US) get a passive banner with an opt-out option.
You can also block cookies entirely via your browser settings. Note that blocking essential cookies will break some site functionality (cart, login).
5. Detailed cookie list
A complete list of cookies (name, purpose, expiry, provider) is auto-generated by Shopify's Customer Privacy infrastructure. For the live list at any time, click the Privacy Banner → "Cookie details" → view all.
6. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use. These third parties have their own privacy policies:
- Shopify: shopify.com/legal/cookies
- Google: policies.google.com/technologies/cookies
- Meta: facebook.com/policies/cookies
7. Do Not Track + Global Privacy Control
We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal — if your browser sends GPC, non-essential cookies are blocked automatically, no banner interaction required.
8. Changes to this policy
We will update this Cookie Policy as our cookie use changes. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the current version.
