Your comment made me worried that I am doing something wrong. Maybe I can clarify something?
There are two privacy policies, one applies to users of the website only, while the other one applies to users of the product. Which is the one that you are referring to?
> As described in our Privacy Policy, we collect personal information from your interactions with us and our website, including through cookies and similar technologies. We may also share this personal information with third parties, including advertising partners. We do this in order to show you ads on other websites that are more relevant to your interests and for other reasons outlined in our privacy policy.
> To opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information collected using cookies and other device-based identifiers as described above, you must be browsing from one of the applicable US states referred to above.
I’m currently in the EU and your policy is a clear breach of the RGPD. You have no right to collect and share my information for any purpose that’s not strictly needed for your service without my explicit consent.
I admit that’s on me and I should clarify the policy.
I want to switch away from Shopify anyways, and then I will also try to find a way to attribute clicks to marketing campaigns that doesn’t involve 3rd party cookies.
I just didn’t have the time yet.
But yeah if you want to keep that shit in than you should put a cookie banner and make everyone annoyed at you.
I’m trying to run a small business.
Building a custom store page is definitely on the list, but until then, I have to make do with what I can buy off the shelf.
Third party cookies exist because that’s how Facebook tracks ad conversions. That’s why they exist, I am not selling web traffic data or anything like that.
The alternative is not advertising on Facebook or building my own link-based attribution integration with Facebook. But see above: I am trying to run a small hardware business.
Do you really have no way of opting users out by default if you want to use fb advertising?
