1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences over time. We also use related technologies such as local storage, session storage, and tracking pixels; this policy covers all of them.
2. Strictly necessary cookies
These keep you signed in, secure your session against cross-site request forgery, remember your admin panel state, balance traffic across our servers, and store your cookie preferences. They cannot be switched off through our banner because the platform cannot function without them. Typical lifespan: session to 12 months.
3. Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember your currency, language, catalog filters, billing toggle preference, and dismissed onboarding tips. Disabling them means you will need to re-set these preferences on every visit. Typical lifespan: 30 days to 12 months.
4. Analytics cookies
We use first-party and privacy-focused analytics to count visits, measure which catalog categories are used most, and identify pages that error or load slowly. Data is aggregated and used to improve the product. Typical lifespan: 24 months.
5. Advertising cookies
With your consent, advertising partners may set cookies to measure the performance of our campaigns and to show relevant ads about DropShip Pro on other sites. These cookies may combine data across sites operated by that partner. Typical lifespan: 90 days to 13 months.
6. Third parties that may set cookies
Payment processors (fraud screening on checkout), our support-chat provider (conversation continuity), our video host (playback preferences on demo videos), and ecommerce platform OAuth flows (secure store connection) may set their own cookies governed by their respective policies.
7. Managing your preferences
You can accept or reject non-essential categories in the cookie banner shown on your first visit, and change your choice at any time from the cookie settings link in the footer. All major browsers also let you block or delete cookies in their privacy settings; blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent sign-in and order management from working.
8. Do Not Track and global privacy signals
We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where transmitted by your browser and treat it as an opt-out of advertising cookies and any sharing for cross-context behavioural advertising.
9. Updates and contact
We review this policy at least annually and whenever we add a new technology. Questions about cookies can be directed to support@dropship-pro.com or to DropShip Pro, 123 E-Commerce Way, Suite 100, Austin, TX 78701.
