Cookie Policy
Last updated: 21 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones Healthy Steps (www.healthy-steps.ie) uses, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use it.
Cookies We Use
Essential / Strictly Necessary — required for the site and checkout to work: keeping items in your cart, remembering your session, protecting against fraud, and securing your account and payment. These are set by Shopify, the platform that runs our store, and cannot be switched off without breaking core functionality. A full technical list is published by Shopify at shopify.com/legal/cookies.
Functional — remember choices like your currency and delivery region so you don't have to reset them on every visit.
Analytics — Shopify's built-in store analytics, which give us aggregate information (e.g. visits, popular pages) to help us run the shop. We do not currently use Google Analytics or similar third-party analytics tools.
Marketing / Advertising — we use the Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our ads and, where you've consented, to show you relevant ads on Meta's platforms. You can control this at facebook.com/ads/preferences, or by rejecting non-essential cookies in our cookie banner.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties who provide services on our site, such as Meta (for advertising) and Shopify (for hosting, checkout, and security). These third parties may use cookies for their own purposes as described in their own privacy policies.
Managing Cookies
When you first visit our site, you'll see a cookie banner where you can accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site, or through your browser settings:
Chrome: support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
Safari: support.apple.com/guide/safari
Firefox: support.mozilla.org/kb/cookies
Edge: support.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge
Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent parts of the site, such as your shopping cart or checkout, from working correctly.
Do Not Track
Healthy Steps does not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals, as there is no uniform industry standard for how sites should interpret them.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we start using a new cookie or service. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
