COOKIE POLICY
Last updated: August 22, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Ella Monterey uses cookies and similar technologies on ellamonterey.com, what your choices are and how to change them at any time.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more generally.
WHAT COOKIES ARE
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help a site work properly, remember your preferences, keep your cart and checkout functioning, measure how the site is used and support advertising.
We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags and local storage. Where we refer to cookies in this policy, we mean all of these.
THE CATEGORIES WE USE
Strictly necessary cookies
These make our website work and cannot be switched off. They keep your session active, remember the items in your cart, make checkout function, and protect against fraud and security threats. Without them, our store cannot operate.
Functional cookies
These remember choices you make, such as your preferred currency, language or region, so you do not have to set them again on every visit.
Analytics and performance cookies
These help us understand how visitors find and use our store, which pages and products get attention and where people run into problems, so we can improve the experience. We use this information in aggregate.
Advertising and targeting cookies
These allow us and our advertising partners to show you relevant ads on other websites and social media platforms, to limit how often you see the same ad, and to measure whether our advertising works.
YOUR CHOICES
Strictly necessary cookies are always active. For every other category, we ask for your choice through the cookie banner shown when you first visit our store.
You can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings link on our website. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it, and it takes effect immediately for future processing.
If you have enabled a Global Privacy Control signal in your browser, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of advertising and targeting cookies, where applicable law requires this.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Be aware that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of our store, including the cart and checkout, from working.
SHOPIFY
Our store is hosted on Shopify. Shopify sets cookies that are necessary to run the store, including cookies that maintain your session, keep your cart, process checkout, and protect against fraud and abuse. Shopify also provides analytics about how our store performs.
THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Some services we use set their own cookies. Depending on your choices, these may include:
- Shopify, for store functionality, checkout, security and store analytics
- Payment providers, for processing payments and preventing fraud
- Analytics providers, for understanding how our store is used
- Advertising platforms, including social media platforms, for showing and measuring ads
- Customer support and email tools, where you interact with them
These providers process information under their own privacy policies. We do not control the cookies set by third parties on their own websites.
HOW LONG COOKIES LAST
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. The lifespan varies by cookie, from the length of a single visit up to two years for some analytics and advertising cookies.
DO WE SELL YOUR INFORMATION
We do not sell personal information for money. Advertising cookies may involve sharing information with advertising platforms for cross-context behavioral advertising, which some United States state privacy laws treat as a sale or share. If you decline advertising cookies, or send a Global Privacy Control signal, we do not share your information for this purpose.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Cookie Policy as the tools we use change. Any update will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
