Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2026
1. Introduction
Snow Paw uses cookies, local storage, and similar browser technologies to keep core storefront features working and, where you allow it, to measure site usage and marketing performance.
You can revisit your choices at any time from the cookie settings control.
2. Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by your browser. We also use local storage for some storefront preferences and session-related state. This page covers both cookies and similar technologies used by the current implementation.
3. Types of cookies we use
Functional cookies
These technologies are used for core storefront features such as basket state, wishlist state, theme preference, consent preferences, and similar functionality. They do not rely on optional tracking consent.
Statistics cookies
We use analytics technologies to understand aggregate storefront usage and performance. These are only enabled when you choose to allow analytics.
Marketing cookies
We use marketing technologies to measure advertising performance and related visits. These are only enabled when you choose to allow marketing cookies.
