Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 12, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Compass Box ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, when you visit shopusa.compassboxwhisky.com (the "Site"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your preferences, measure performance and, where you agree, deliver relevant advertising. Pixels (also called tags or web beacons) are small pieces of code that record how you interact with a site.

Your choices

When you first visit the Site, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies using the cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via the "Your Privacy Choices" link in the footer of the Site. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the Site (such as the cart and checkout) may not work without essential cookies. We do not use marketing or analytics cookies until you have given consent, where consent is required by law.

Meta pixel

With your consent, we use the Meta pixel on the Site. The pixel records actions such as pages you view, products you view, items added to your cart, checkout steps and completed purchases. Meta receives this information, along with your IP address and browser details, and may use it to measure the effectiveness of our ads, build audiences for advertising, and improve its own products in accordance with Meta's Privacy Policy.

You can manage ad preferences at facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads and youronlinechoices.com.

Third parties

Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services to us (Shopify, Google, Meta). We do not control these cookies; please review those providers' policies for details.

California and other US privacy rights

Sharing data with advertising partners through cookies and pixels may be considered "selling" or "sharing" personal information under certain US state laws. You can opt out using our Your Privacy Choices page and by declining non-essential cookies in the banner. We also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals where required.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or the law. The "Last updated" date above shows when it was last revised.
