Cookie policy

This is short, because there isn't much to disclose. This page covers three separate surfaces: this documentation website, the Filter My Blog app's admin, and the filter bar it places on your storefront.

This website

This site sets no cookies by default. It uses Google Analytics, but only after you explicitly accept the banner shown on your first visit. Declining, or simply not responding, means it never loads and no analytics cookie is ever set. Your choice is remembered in your browser's local storage, not a cookie. You can change it at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. Withdrawing reloads the page with Google Analytics switched off and its cookies removed.

If you accept, Google Analytics sets two first-party cookies:

• _ga tells returning visitors apart from new ones. It lasts up to 2 years.
• _ga_Z7N0R0NHX2 keeps track of the current visit. It lasts up to 2 years.

It records the pages you view, how far you scroll, links you follow to other sites, searches made on this site, files you download, whether embedded videos are played, and when you start or send a form (not what you type in it). Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses. This processing is governed by Google's own privacy policy.

The app's admin (inside Shopify)

The embedded admin runs inside Shopify's own admin interface and relies on Shopify's standard session mechanisms for authentication, and it doesn't set additional tracking cookies of its own beyond what's necessary for that embedded session to function.

The filter bar on your storefront

The filter bar itself, meaning what your customers see and click on your blog, sets no cookies at all, on any plan. It doesn't track visitors, doesn't use local storage to remember them, and the click and search analytics described in What we collect are recorded as anonymous daily totals with nothing that could identify who was involved. There is nothing about the filter bar that needs disclosing in your own store's cookie banner.
