Privacy & choices
Cookies, clearly explained.
We use cookies and similar technologies to help our store work properly, remember useful choices and, where enabled, understand how visitors use our website. This policy explains what those technologies are and how you can control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files or pieces of information stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They can help a website remember information between pages or visits, keep a shopping cart working, support security and, where permitted, provide analytics or marketing measurement.
This Cookie Policy applies to mygentleglow.com, operated by Anchor crest LLC trading as My Gentle Glow.
How we use cookies
Different cookies serve different purposes. Not every visitor will receive every cookie; this depends on the features used, your region, your privacy choices and the services enabled on our store.
โ
Strictly necessary
Support core functions such as cart activity, checkout, security, fraud prevention, localisation and privacy preferences. These may be used without consent where the law permits because they are necessary for a service you request.
โ
Analytics & performance
Help measure visits, sessions and how the storefront performs so that we can understand and improve the customer experience. Where consent is required, we rely on consent for these cookies.
โฆ
Functional & preference
Can remember choices such as language, region or other preferences and support optional features. Some may require consent depending on their purpose.
โ
Marketing
If marketing or advertising tools are enabled, cookies or similar technologies may be used for campaign measurement or relevant advertising. Where consent is required, these are used on the basis of consent.

Our online store is hosted on Shopify. Shopify publishes a list of cookies that may be placed when it powers a merchant storefront. The table below reflects Shopify's published merchant-storefront cookie information as of 20 August 2026. Some cookies only appear when the relevant feature is used.

Shopify and other service providers may update their technologies over time. If we enable additional apps, analytics services or marketing tools, additional cookies or similar technologies may also be used. We will update this policy where appropriate.
Third-party services
Some website functions are provided by third parties acting as service providers. This includes Shopify, which hosts and powers our online store, and may include payment, fulfilment, analytics, customer-support or marketing providers when those services are enabled.
Third parties may set or read their own cookies or similar technologies when required to provide their services. For non-essential technologies, consent is relied on where required by applicable law.
For more information about how we handle personal information, please read our Privacy Policy.
Your cookie choices
You can control cookies in several ways. Where our storefront presents cookie or privacy controls, you can use those controls to make the choices available to you. You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the store, cart or checkout from working correctly. Refusing non-essential cookies should not prevent access to the core shopping experience, although some optional functionality or personalisation may be reduced.
You can change browser cookie settings at any time. The exact steps depend on the browser and device you use.
How long cookies remain on your device
Some cookies are session cookies and normally expire when the browsing session ends. Others are persistent cookies and remain until their stated expiry date or until you delete them. The Shopify platform durations currently published for merchant storefronts are shown in the table above.
For cookies placed by other providers, the retention period is determined by the relevant provider and the purpose of the cookie. We do not intentionally use cookies for longer than reasonably necessary for their stated purpose.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, services, technology providers or legal requirements change. The latest version will always be published on this page with the updated date shown below.
