To be honest I just used the Shopify template for the website privacy policy. I think the policy overstates what’s happening, in reality there should be a cookie banner for EU users. (Yay…)
I admit that’s on me and I should clarify the policy.
I want to switch away from Shopify anyways, and then I will also try to find a way to attribute clicks to marketing campaigns that doesn’t involve 3rd party cookies.
No there should not be a cookie banner. Just do not collect any information from the website that is not necessary. You are selling a product, not hosting a free website, there is absolutely no reason my information should be shared for advertising with any third party.
But yeah if you want to keep that shit in than you should put a cookie banner and make everyone annoyed at you.
Building a custom store page is definitely on the list, but until then, I have to make do with what I can buy off the shelf.
Third party cookies exist because that’s how Facebook tracks ad conversions.
That’s why they exist, I am not selling web traffic data or anything like that.
The alternative is not advertising on Facebook or building my own link-based attribution integration with Facebook. But see above: I am trying to run a small hardware business.
