This Cookie Policy explains how Lucky Patch Studios uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and in our online shop. Read it alongside our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Some are needed for the site to work; others measure traffic or support advertising.
The table below lists every cookie and similar technology used on our website and in our shop. Durations are the maximum; you can delete cookies at any time through your browser.

Our shop runs on Shopify, and the checkout is hosted by Shopify. The cookies it sets to keep your basket and complete your payment are strictly necessary and are exempt from the consent requirement, so our banner does not switch them off — doing so would break the shop.
They are set only when you use the shop; browsing the rest of the site does not set them. If Shopify’s own analytics or marketing features are enabled on our store, those cookies are not exempt and will be set only with your consent. Our shop uses Shopify’s built-in analytics and marketing measurement (the _shopify_analytics and _shopify_marketing cookies listed above). Shopify’s cookie banner asks for your consent before these are set, and they are not set if you refuse. We do not use any third-party tracking pixels (such as Google Analytics or the Meta Pixel) in the Shopify checkout.
On your first visit a banner asks whether to allow non-essential cookies. Nothing in the analytics or advertising categories loads until you choose. You can change your choice at any time via the Cookie settings link in the footer, and withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.
Refusing non-essential cookies does not stop you browsing or buying.
You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies from our shop will prevent checkout from working.
Some cookies are set by third parties — our shop platform, our payment provider, and any analytics or advertising provider we use. Their processing is governed by their own policies. Our payment provider is Shopify Payments.
Cookies that identify you involve processing personal data. Your rights over that data, and how to exercise them, are set out in our Privacy Policy. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority or to the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali), Piazza Venezia 11, 00187 Rome, Italy.
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. The “last updated” date above shows when it last changed.
