Cookies Policy
Last updated: July 16, 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how Holiday Boost (the “Operator”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at holidayboost.ai and our related online services (together, the “Site”), and the choices available to you.
This policy forms part of, and should be read together with, our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. Capitalised terms not defined here have the meaning given in those documents. By using the Site, or by selecting your preferences through our cookie banner, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy and, where applicable, you consent to the use of optional cookies.
01Scope of this policy
This policy applies to cookies used on our Site. It does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, cookies or tracking technologies used on any other website, platform, or service — including your own store or storefront, any pages controlled by the platform through which we make the Site available (for example, Shopify’s own login and app-authorisation screens), or any third-party website we link to or integrate with. You remain solely responsible for cookie notices, consent, and compliance on your own store, and for any tracking technologies you deploy there.
03How we use Cookies
We use Cookies to operate and secure the Site, to remember the choices you make about Cookies themselves, and — only with your permission — to understand how the Site is used so we can debug and improve it. We do not use advertising Cookies, and we do not use Cookies to build profiles for marketing.
The specific Cookies in use, and their durations, may change from time to time. The current set applicable to you is made available through our cookie banner and your browser tools, which take precedence over the general descriptions in this policy.
3.1 Strictly necessary Cookies — always active
These are required for the Site to function and to keep it secure. They cannot be switched off through our banner, and your consent is not required for them. If you block them, parts of the Site — in particular signing in — will not work.
| Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Signing you in to your store and keeping your session active | First-party | Up to 30 days |
| Remembering the cookie choice you make on the banner | First-party | 12 months |
3.2 Optional Cookies — session recording, consent required
With your permission, we use a third-party session-recording and product-analytics provider to record how the Site is used — the pages you view, the actions you take, and the errors you hit — so we can reproduce problems and improve the Service. This is the only optional category we use, which is why the banner offers a single choice rather than a set of toggles.
| Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Session recording, product analytics, and diagnostics | Third-party | Session and persistent — set by the provider |
These are set only after you select “Accept optional cookies”. If you select “Only necessary”, or you never answer the banner, no session recording runs.
3.3 Analytics that does not use Cookies
We also use a privacy-focused website-analytics provider to count page views and basic events such as which pages are visited and which buttons are clicked. It measures this without setting Cookies and without storing an identifier on your device.
04Consent and your choices
- Strictly necessary Cookies are set without your consent, as they are required to deliver a service you have requested and to keep it secure.
- Optional Cookies (section 3.2) are set only after you give consent through our cookie banner. Until you accept, they are not set.
- You may withdraw or change your consent at any time using the “Cookie preferences” link in the Site footer, which reopens the banner. Withdrawal takes effect prospectively and does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal.
- Your choice is stored in a Cookie for 12 months. If you clear your browser’s cookies, or use a different browser or device, your choice is forgotten and the banner appears again. We may also re-present the banner when our Cookies materially change.
- If you do not accept optional Cookies, you can still use the entire Site — nothing is withheld, and no feature is degraded.
05Third-party Cookies and providers
The Site relies on third parties whose Cookies may be set when you use it — currently our session-recording provider, and our hosting, storage, and e-commerce-platform providers. We do not control these third parties, and their use of Cookies is governed by their own policies, not this one. We are not responsible for third-party Cookies, and we may add, remove, or change our providers at any time without notice. You should review the relevant third party’s cookie and privacy policies for details of their practices and your choices. The service providers we use are listed in our Privacy Policy.
06What information we collect through Cookies
Where you consent to optional Cookies, we may collect information such as: pages and screens viewed; actions taken on the Site; the date, time, and duration of your visit; the source that referred you to the Site; and technical information such as device type, browser, operating system, language, and an approximate location derived from your IP address. Our cookieless analytics (section 3.3) collects a narrower set of the same kind of information.
We use this information to operate, secure, measure, troubleshoot, and improve the Site, and for the other purposes described in our Privacy Policy. We do not sell it, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
07Managing and disabling Cookies
You can manage Cookies in the following ways:
- Our cookie settings — use the banner, or the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer, to accept or reject optional Cookies at any time.
- Your browser — most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies and clear local storage through their settings or help menus. Blocking all cookies will affect how the Site works.
- Third-party controls — for third-party Cookies, use the controls and opt-out mechanisms offered by the relevant provider.
Managing Cookies is your responsibility. Disabling or deleting Cookies, including strictly necessary Cookies, may cause parts of the Site to malfunction or become unavailable, and we are not responsible for any resulting loss of functionality, access, or data.
08Retention
Session Cookies expire when you close your browser. Our own persistent Cookies last no longer than the periods set out in section 3.1 — a maximum of 12 months — or until you delete them. The duration of third-party Cookies is determined by the provider that sets them. Information associated with Cookies is retained in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
09“Do Not Track” and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Because there is no common industry standard for DNT, we do not currently respond to DNT signals. Where we are legally required to recognise an opt-out preference signal (such as Global Privacy Control), we will honour it to the extent, and in the manner, required by applicable law.
10Children
The Site is intended for businesses and for users aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly use Cookies to collect information from children.
11Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookies Policy at any time by posting the revised version with a new “Last updated” date. Changes take effect when posted. Your continued use of the Site after we post a change constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. Please review this policy periodically.
