We do not activate non-essential cookies or tracking scripts until you have provided affirmative consent through our cookie banner. Strictly necessary cookies, including those required for shopping cart functionality, checkout processing, payment security, and consent recording, operate without prior consent as they are essential to the service you have requested.
On your first visit, our cookie banner presents you with clear, equal-weight options to Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, or Manage Preferences by category. The option to reject non-essential cookies requires the same number of steps as accepting them. We do not use dark patterns, pre-checked boxes, or design that discourages rejection.
You may withdraw or update your consent at any time by clicking Cookie Settings in the website footer. Withdrawal takes effect immediately for active sessions.
We maintain records of cookie consent decisions through our consent management platform. Consent logs capture the timestamp of consent or withdrawal, the policy version presented to you at the time, the categories you accepted or rejected, and a session identifier where lawful. These records are maintained to satisfy our burden of proof obligations under applicable law, including GDPR Article 7 and Quebec Law 25.
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to better understand how visitors use our website. GA4 may collect data such as IP address, device and browser information, page views, site interactions, referring URLs, approximate geographic information, and session and conversion data.
The GA4 script is not loaded, and no Google Analytics cookies are set, until you have consented to analytics cookies through our consent mechanism. Withdrawing consent stops further collection.
We use Meta and Reddit tracking technologies to measure advertising performance, understand audience activity, build custom or lookalike audiences, and improve campaign targeting and conversion measurement. On this website these pixels record page visits. Each pixel is activated only after advertising consent has been received, and each can be accepted or declined individually through our consent mechanism. Neither pixel is loaded on our Learn pages.
Meta on our online store. Our online store at shop.teakandmarbleatelier.com uses Meta's Facebook & Instagram app for Shopify. In addition to a Meta Pixel on the store, the app shares data with Meta at its Enhanced data-sharing setting, which uses Advanced Matching and the Meta Conversions API to send information about store activity (for example, product views, cart activity, checkout activity, and purchases) directly from Shopify to Meta. This information may be accompanied by identifiers such as a hashed email address, a hashed phone number, IP address, and browser information. Choices made in the consent banner on this website do not apply to the store.
Reddit on our online store. Our online store at shop.teakandmarbleatelier.com uses Reddit's app for Shopify. In addition to a Reddit Pixel on the store, the app uses Reddit's server-side data sharing, which sends information about store activity (for example, product views, cart activity, and purchases) directly from Shopify to Reddit. This information may be accompanied by identifiers such as a hashed email address, IP address, and browser information. Choices made in the consent banner on this website do not apply to the store.
Pinterest on our online store. Our online store at shop.teakandmarbleatelier.com uses Pinterest's app for Shopify, which places a Pinterest Tag on the store to record store activity (for example, page visits, product views, cart activity, checkout activity, and purchases) and also sends that information directly from Shopify to Pinterest. This information may be accompanied by identifiers such as a hashed email address, IP address, and browser information. Pinterest uses it to measure and improve the performance of our advertising. Choices made in the consent banner on this website do not apply to the store.
Google on our online store. Our online store at shop.teakandmarbleatelier.com uses Google's Google & YouTube app for Shopify, which places Google tags on the store and also sends information about store activity (for example, product views, cart activity, checkout activity, and purchases) directly from Shopify to Google. This information may be accompanied by identifiers such as a hashed email address, IP address, and browser information. Google uses it to measure and improve the performance of our advertising, including remarketing. Choices made in the consent banner on this website do not apply to the store.
Reddit's use of data collected through the Reddit Pixel and its app for Shopify is described in Reddit's Privacy Policy.
Meta's use of data collected through the Meta Pixel and its app for Shopify is described in Meta's Privacy Policy.
Pinterest's use of data collected through the Pinterest Tag and its app for Shopify is described in Pinterest's Privacy Policy.
Google's use of data collected through its tags and its Google & YouTube app for Shopify is described in Google's Privacy Policy.
United States
We operate primarily in the United States. For California residents, analytics and advertising practices may constitute the sale or sharing of personal information under CCPA/CPRA. You may opt out using the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link in the website footer, or by selecting Reject Non-Essential in our cookie banner. We also recognize Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a valid opt-out mechanism.
Canada — PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25
Canadian visitors are protected by PIPEDA at the federal level. Quebec residents are protected by Quebec's Law 25, which requires explicit opt-in consent before any tracking technology is activated. Our cookie consent mechanism satisfies this requirement — no non-essential cookies fire until you affirmatively consent. This applies to GA4, Meta Pixel, and Reddit Pixel. You may withdraw consent at any time through the Cookie Settings link.
European Union and European Economic Area
The EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR require prior informed consent before setting non-essential cookies on EU visitors' devices. Our consent mechanism satisfies these requirements. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous. We do not rely on legitimate interest as a basis for analytics or advertising cookies. All non-essential scripts remain blocked until you opt in. You may withdraw consent at any time. Consent logs are maintained per GDPR Article 7.
United Kingdom
UK visitors are protected by the UK GDPR and PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations). Our consent mechanism satisfies PECR's prior-consent requirement for non-essential cookies. Note: The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (DUAA), which received Royal Assent on 19 June 2025, introduces a potential exemption for first-party analytics cookies used solely for site improvement, where a clear opt-out mechanism is provided. To the extent this exemption applies to GA4 first-party analytics in the UK, we will implement it in accordance with ICO guidance. Third-party advertising pixels remain subject to prior consent under PECR regardless of the DUAA.
