COOKIE POLICY

Last Updated: March 2026

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your computer or device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter information every time you visit or navigate between pages.

WHO SETS COOKIES ON OUR STORE?

Our store is powered by Shopify. This means cookies on our website are set by two parties:

  • Us — PlatinumBlack Wigs by Ilies, for store functionality and preferences
  • Shopify — as our platform provider, for essential store operations and analytics

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party tracking tools.
