Last updated: August 15, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Behemoth Webstore, operated by Behemoth Webstore Maciej Gruszka (Gdyńska 99, 80-297 Miszewo, Poland) (“we”, “us”, “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies (collectively, “cookies”) on our store and website (the “Services”). For information about how we process personal data more broadly, please see our Privacy Policy.
1) What are cookies?
Cookies are small files placed on your device that store or access information. We also use related technologies such as web beacons, pixels, SDKs, local storage and server logs. Some cookies are set by us (“first-party”) and others by third parties (“third-party”).
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser), or
- Persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).
2) Legal basis
In the EEA/UK/CH, we use strictly necessary cookies based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) to operate the Services. We use non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics, personalization, advertising) only with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw consent at any time in Privacy Preferences.
3) How we use cookies
We group cookies into the following categories:
A. Strictly necessary (cannot be turned off)
Required to provide core site functionality, security, network management, your cart and checkout. Without these, the site will not work properly.
- Examples:
_tracking_consent,_cmp_a,cart,cart_currency,cart_sig,cart_ts,checkout_token,secure_customer_sig,storefront_digest. - Providers: Shopify and our sub-processors.
B. Functional / preferences
Remember choices you make (such as language or region) and support optional features you request, including single sign-on (SSO) if you choose to log in with Google or Facebook. We load only the components necessary for authentication when you initiate SSO.
- Examples: cookies used by Google Identity Services or Facebook Login strictly for SSO flow.
- Providers: Google Ireland Limited; Meta Platforms Ireland Limited.
C. Performance / analytics
Help us understand how visitors use the Services so we can measure and improve performance (e.g., pages visited, time on site). These run only if you consent.
- Examples:
_shopify_y,_shopify_s,_y,_s,_orig_referrer,_landing_page, Google Analytics cookies (e.g.,_ga). - Providers: Shopify; Google.
D. Advertising / marketing
Used to deliver and measure ads, personalize content and build audiences across sites. These run only if you consent.
- Examples:
_fbp,_shopify_sa_t,_shopify_sa_p; tags/pixels from Meta and Google Ads. - Providers: Meta (Facebook/Instagram); Google (Google Ads); selected partners noted in our Privacy Policy.
E. Shopify Network Intelligence (enhanced features)
We may enable Shopify enhanced features that use aggregated signals (including cookie-based identifiers) to help protect, grow and improve our business (e.g., fraud prevention, recommendations, performance insights). In the EEA/UK/CH, any analytics/marketing aspects of these features run only with your consent. You can manage this in Privacy Preferences.
