Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Cooper Custom Reel Handles uses them on coopercustomreelhandles.com, what types of cookies we use, and how you can control your cookie preferences.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used by websites to make them work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to the website owners.
Cookies do not contain executable code, viruses, or malware. They are simply small data files that your browser stores on your device and sends back to our website server each time you visit. Cookies allow our website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit — such as your shopping cart contents, your language preferences, or whether you are logged into your account.
Most modern web browsers accept cookies by default. However, you can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent to your device. Please note that if you disable or refuse cookies, some parts of our website may become inaccessible or may not function correctly.
Why We Use Cookies
Cooper Custom Reel Handles uses cookies to provide you with a better, safer, and more efficient online shopping experience. Our website is built on Shopify, a leading e-commerce platform, which uses cookies as a fundamental part of its operation. Without certain cookies, our website would not be able to function correctly.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use several different categories of cookies on coopercustomreelhandles.com. Each category serves a specific purpose in delivering our website and online shopping experience. Below is a detailed description of each cookie category we use.
These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of our website. They enable core features such as shopping cart functionality, secure checkout, account login, and payment processing. Without these cookies, the services you request from us cannot be provided.
Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is strictly necessary to provide the service you have requested.
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred currency, your recently viewed products, or certain display settings that improve your browsing experience.
Disabling these cookies will not prevent you from using our website, but some features may not function as intended.
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and where visitors come from. This data helps us improve our website's content, structure, and performance.
All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymous. No personally identifiable information is collected by analytics cookies.
Marketing cookies may be used to track visitors across websites in order to display advertisements that are relevant and engaging for the individual user. These cookies help measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.
Cooper Custom Reel Handles is a small business and currently makes limited use of marketing cookies. We do not engage in aggressive retargeting advertising. These cookies can be disabled through your browser settings without affecting your ability to use our website.

Third-Party Cookies
In addition to first-party cookies set directly by Cooper Custom Reel Handles, our website uses services provided by third parties that may set their own cookies on your device. These third-party cookies are subject to the respective privacy policies of those third parties, which we do not control. Below is a description of the key third-party services that may set cookies when you visit our website.
Shopify Platform Cookies
Our website is built on Shopify, a cloud-based e-commerce platform. Because of this, a significant number of the cookies used on our website are set by Shopify as a standard part of its platform operation. These Shopify-specific cookies are fundamental to providing you with a fully functional online shopping experience.
Shopify's platform uses cookies for purposes including shopping cart management, secure checkout, customer account management, fraud prevention, and platform analytics. Cooper Custom Reel Handles does not have direct control over the specific cookies that Shopify sets as part of its platform — these are determined by Shopify's platform engineering and are necessary for the platform to function correctly.
- Shopping cart persistence: Shopify uses cookies to retain the items in your shopping cart as you navigate between product pages and throughout your shopping session, so you do not lose your selected items.
- Secure checkout: Checkout session cookies maintain the security and integrity of your checkout process, ensuring your payment information is handled safely through Shopify's PCI-DSS compliant checkout system.
- Customer account sessions: If you create an account with us, Shopify sets cookies to maintain your login session so you remain authenticated while browsing our store.
- Shopify analytics: Shopify sets analytics cookies that provide us with data about how visitors use our store, which products are viewed, and where visitors originate from, helping us improve our store's performance.
- Fraud prevention: Shopify uses cookies as part of its fraud detection systems to identify and prevent fraudulent transactions and protect both our store and our customers.
How to Manage Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can control and manage cookies in several ways. Please be aware that if you choose to refuse or disable certain cookies, particularly essential cookies, some parts of our website may not function correctly and you may not be able to complete a purchase.
Browser-Specific Cookie Settings
Every major web browser provides tools to manage and control cookies. Below are instructions for accessing cookie settings in the most popular browsers used by our customers. The exact menu names and locations may vary depending on your browser version.
Your Consent
By continuing to use our website at coopercustomreelhandles.com after reading this Cookie Policy, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. Your consent applies to the use of cookies on our website in the categories described in Section 03 above.
We obtain your consent for optional, non-essential cookies through your continued use of our website and through any cookie consent notice displayed on our site. You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings to refuse or delete cookies as described in Sections 07 and 08 of this policy. Please note that withdrawing consent by disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website.
Essential cookies do not require your consent under applicable privacy laws because they are strictly necessary for the provision of the service you have requested — namely, the ability to browse our website, add products to your shopping cart, and complete a purchase. These cookies are placed on your device as a fundamental requirement of the service itself.
For non-essential cookies — including analytics, functional preference, and marketing cookies — your consent is implied through your continued use of our website. You may withdraw this consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings to block or delete these cookies. We will not use non-essential cookies to collect or process your personal information beyond the purposes described in this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy.
Cookies & Your Privacy
Some cookies used on our website may collect and process personal information about you. This section explains how cookie-collected data intersects with your privacy rights and how we handle any personal information that cookies may collect.
Cooper Custom Reel Handles is committed to protecting your personal information. Our use of cookies is consistent with the principles of our Privacy Policy, which governs how we collect, use, store, and protect all personal information we receive from you — including any personal information collected through cookies.
- Your IP address: Some cookies may record your IP address as part of session or analytics data. Your IP address may be used to determine your approximate geographic location for analytics purposes.
- Your device and browser: Cookies may record information about the device and browser you use to access our website, including browser type, operating system, and screen resolution.
- Browsing behaviour on our site: Analytics cookies record which pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, what you click, and how you navigate through our website.
- Shopping and purchase activity: Essential cookies associated with your shopping cart and checkout process store information about the products you are interested in and your purchase history as a customer of our store.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. There is currently no universally accepted technical standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and different browsers implement DNT in different ways.
At this time, our website and the Shopify platform on which it is built do not alter their data collection and use practices in response to Do Not Track signals from web browsers. This is consistent with the current state of the industry, where a universal standard for responding to DNT signals has not yet been established.
If you wish to limit tracking of your online activity, we recommend using the cookie management tools described in Sections 07 and 08 of this policy, as these provide more direct and reliable control over the cookies placed on your device.
