Cookie Policy
Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Dr.Strips+ (operating drstrips.sg, the "Site") uses cookies and similar technologies, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, phone, or other device when you visit it. They help the website remember information about your visit — such as items in your shopping cart, your login status, or your preferences — so that your next visit (or even the next page you view) is faster and more useful. Similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy where relevant.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the Site to function properly and cannot be switched off. They enable core features such as adding products to your cart, proceeding through checkout, maintaining your session as you browse, and helping to detect and prevent fraudulent activity. Without these cookies, essential parts of the Site — like completing a purchase — would not work.
Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as language or display preferences) to provide a more personalised experience on return visits.
Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the Site — for example, which pages are viewed most often, how long visitors spend on the Site, and where visitors come from. This helps us improve the Site's content, layout, and overall performance.
Marketing / Advertising Cookies
If enabled, we may use marketing cookies to deliver more relevant advertising to you and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, including through ad retargeting on other websites and platforms. These are only used where we have activated such tools on our Site.
Please note: whether analytics or marketing cookies are active at any given time depends on which tools we have enabled through our e-commerce platform. We may use such tools now or in the future, but this policy does not assert that any specific third-party analytics or advertising service is currently active on the Site.
3. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the Site are set directly by us or by our e-commerce platform provider, Shopify Inc. ("first-party cookies"), primarily to operate core store functions like cart and checkout. Other cookies may be set by third-party services we choose to integrate — such as analytics providers or advertising networks — if and when we enable them ("third-party cookies"). Third-party cookies are governed by the respective third party's own privacy and cookie practices in addition to this policy.
4. Shopify's Role
Our Site is built on the Shopify platform. Shopify sets certain cookies that are necessary for the Site's checkout, cart, session management, and fraud-prevention functions to work correctly, as part of operating the underlying store infrastructure. Where we enable additional tools through Shopify (such as analytics or marketing integrations), Shopify's platform may facilitate the cookie consent experience presented to you, for example through a cookie consent banner, depending on our configuration.
5. How to Control or Delete Cookies
You have several ways to manage cookies:
- Cookie consent banner: where enabled, our Site may present a cookie consent tool (powered by Shopify's consumer privacy features) that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookie categories, such as analytics or marketing cookies.
- Browser settings: most web browsers allow you to view, manage, block, or delete cookies through their settings menu. You can typically choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for specific instructions, as steps vary between browsers and devices.
6. What Happens If You Disable Cookies?
You are free to disable or restrict cookies at any time. However, please note that some cookies — particularly strictly necessary ones — are essential to core Site functions. If you disable these, certain features may not work properly. For example, your shopping cart may not retain items between pages, checkout may fail to complete, or your session may not remain logged in. Disabling analytics or marketing cookies will not affect your ability to browse or purchase on the Site.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and technologies we use, or for legal or regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to check back periodically.
