FAQ

Do I need a separate cookie policy?

You can integrate cookie info into the main policy or link to a separate page. Clarity matters more than format.

How do I handle multiple storefronts?

Use one canonical privacy policy URL and list brands or stores on the page to avoid drift.

Where are the Shopify admin steps?

See the Shopify and WooCommerce store privacy policy URL how-to for Settings → Policies and footer menus.
