We believe customers should understand what information may be collected when they visit our store and why these technologies are used.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that websites can place on your browser or device.

They are commonly used to make websites function correctly, remember preferences, maintain shopping carts, improve security, understand website usage and, where enabled, measure advertising performance.

Some cookies are necessary for an ecommerce website to operate properly.

Others may be optional and used for purposes such as analytics, personalisation or advertising.

2. How FootballShirts.ae Uses Cookies

• Operating the website

• Maintaining your shopping cart

• Supporting checkout functionality

• Remembering certain preferences

• Maintaining secure customer sessions

• Preventing fraud and abuse

• Understanding website performance

• Measuring website traffic

• Improving our store

• Understanding how customers navigate the website

• Measuring marketing performance where enabled

• Supporting relevant advertising where enabled

The exact cookies used may change as our website, Shopify configuration and third-party services change.

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Some cookies are necessary for FootballShirts.ae to function correctly.

These may support functionality such as:

• Shopping carts

• Checkout

• Customer login

• Security

• Fraud prevention

• Session management

• Website functionality

• Payment processes

Because these technologies are necessary to provide core website functionality, they may not always be optional.

Disabling necessary cookies through your browser may prevent parts of FootballShirts.ae from working correctly.

For example, your shopping cart or checkout may not function as expected.

4. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may allow the website to remember certain choices or preferences.

Depending on the functionality enabled on FootballShirts.ae, these may include preferences relating to:

• Language

• Region

• Currency

• Customer sessions

• Previously selected options

• Other website preferences

These technologies are intended to make the shopping experience more convenient.

5. Analytics Cookies

Where enabled, FootballShirts.ae may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use our website.

Analytics may help us understand information such as:

• Number of visitors

• Pages viewed

• Products viewed

• Time spent on pages

• How visitors navigate the store

• Approximate traffic sources

• Device and browser types

• Website errors and performance

• Shopping and conversion behaviour

This information helps us understand what works well and where the store can be improved.

Where required by applicable law, non-essential analytics cookies will be subject to appropriate consent controls.

6. Advertising & Marketing Cookies

Where advertising services are enabled, cookies, pixels and similar technologies may be used to measure marketing performance and help us understand whether advertising campaigns are effective.

Depending on the services we use, these technologies may help with:

• Advertising measurement

• Conversion tracking

• Campaign attribution

• Audience measurement

• Retargeting

• Showing more relevant advertisements

Examples of platforms that FootballShirts.ae may use now or in the future include services provided by companies such as Google, Meta, TikTok and other advertising or analytics providers.

Mentioning a provider in this policy does not necessarily mean that the service is currently active on FootballShirts.ae.

Our actual website configuration determines which technologies are in use.

7. Shopify Cookies

FootballShirts.ae uses Shopify as part of its ecommerce infrastructure.

Shopify and technologies operating through Shopify may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes including:

• Store functionality

• Shopping carts

• Checkout

• Security

• Customer sessions

• Fraud prevention

• Analytics

• Store performance

Some of these technologies are necessary for the ecommerce service to operate.

Shopify may process information according to its own applicable privacy and data-handling practices.

8. Payment & Checkout Technologies

Payments on FootballShirts.ae are handled through secure third-party payment infrastructure, including Shopify and payment providers such as Stripe where applicable.

Cookies or similar technologies may be used during checkout for security, fraud prevention, authentication and payment processing.

FootballShirts.ae does not receive or have access to your full credit or debit card details through our normal checkout process.

Sensitive payment information is handled by the relevant payment provider rather than stored by FootballShirts.ae as a database of complete customer card details.

Please see our Privacy Policy for further information regarding payment data.

9. Third-Party Cookies & Technologies

Some functionality on FootballShirts.ae may be provided by third-party services.

Depending on the services enabled, these companies may use their own cookies, pixels or similar technologies.

Examples may include:

• Ecommerce infrastructure

• Payment processing

• Analytics

• Advertising

• Customer support

• Fraud prevention

• Website performance tools

• Embedded content

These third parties may process information according to their own privacy policies.

10. Pixels & Similar Technologies

Not all tracking or website functionality relies on traditional browser cookies.

FootballShirts.ae may also use similar technologies such as:

• Tracking pixels

• Tags

• Local storage

• Software development technologies

• Server-side measurement technologies

For simplicity, references to "cookies" in this policy may also include comparable technologies where appropriate.

11. Your Cookie Choices

Where required and technically available, FootballShirts.ae may provide cookie controls allowing visitors to manage certain non-essential cookie categories.

Depending on the applicable configuration, you may be able to accept or reject categories such as:

Analytics

and

Marketing / Advertising

Strictly necessary technologies may remain active because they are required for essential website functionality.

Your available choices may depend on your location, browser and applicable legal requirements.

12. Changing Your Cookie Preferences

Where FootballShirts.ae provides a cookie preference tool, you can use it to review or change your choices regarding non-essential cookies.

You may also be able to manage cookies through your browser settings.

Most modern browsers allow users to:

• View stored cookies

• Delete cookies

• Block certain cookies

• Block third-party cookies

• Restrict cookies

• Clear browsing data

Please note that blocking all cookies may cause parts of FootballShirts.ae to stop functioning correctly.

Shopping-cart, login or checkout functionality may be affected.

13. Do We Sell Personal Data Collected Through Cookies?

No. FootballShirts.ae will never sell or rent your personal information as a customer database.

Information generated through cookies or similar technologies may be processed by service providers where necessary to operate, secure, analyse or market our store.

This is not the same as FootballShirts.ae selling its customer database.

Our commitment remains clear:

We do not sell customer personal information.

For more information about how personal data is handled, please read our Privacy Policy.

14. How Long Do Cookies Last?

Cookies can have different lifetimes.

Session cookies generally remain active only during a browsing session and may disappear when the browser is closed.

Persistent cookies may remain on a device for a defined period or until they are deleted.

The duration depends on the purpose of the cookie and the service responsible for setting it.

Third-party providers may determine their own cookie retention periods.

15. Cookies & Personal Information

Some cookie information may not directly identify you by name.

However, certain identifiers, device information or online activity may be considered personal information under applicable privacy laws.

Where cookie information constitutes personal information, we handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable legal requirements.

16. Children's Privacy

FootballShirts.ae sells products that may be suitable for children, but our website is not designed for the purpose of collecting personal information directly from young children.

Our use of cookies does not change this principle.

Purchases for children should be made by a parent, guardian or another person legally permitted to complete the transaction.

17. Updates to This Cookie Policy

Our website and technology may change over time.

For example, we may add or remove:

• Analytics services

• Advertising platforms

• Shopify applications

• Customer-service tools

• Payment methods

• Website functionality

We may therefore update this Cookie Policy when necessary.

The latest version will be published on this page together with the date it was last updated.
