Cookie Policy &
Data Transparency
This page explains exactly which cookies Rdy2Gro Soil Systems uses on our Shopify store, why we use them, how long they remain on your device, and how you can control or remove them at any time.
Overview
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit. They are stored inside your web browser and allow the website to remember certain information about your visit — such as your shopping cart contents, your preferred region, or whether you have already acknowledged a consent notice.
Cookies do not contain personal data by themselves, but when combined with other information we collect through our Shopify store, they may be associated with you as an identifiable customer. The data stored inside a cookie is generated by the server that placed it and can only be read by that server — or, in the case of third-party cookies, by the specific third-party service that set them.
Beyond cookies, we also use closely related tracking technologies on this website, including web beacons (small transparent images embedded in pages or emails that register when a page or email has been opened), local storage (a browser mechanism that can store data without an automatic expiry), and pixel tags (short code snippets from advertising platforms that measure whether an action — such as a purchase — occurred after an ad was clicked). When we refer to "cookies" throughout this policy, that term includes all of these related technologies.
Cookies are classified as either session cookies — which expire automatically when you close your browser tab or window — or persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they reach their pre-set expiry date or until you manually delete them through your browser's settings. We use both types on rdy2grosoilsystems.com depending on the function each cookie serves.
Purpose
How We Use Cookies on This Store
Rdy2Gro Soil Systems is a Shopify-powered e-commerce store selling organic worm castings, garden beds, planters, trellises, shade cloths, and related gardening supplies. To operate this store and deliver a functional, secure, and smooth shopping experience, certain cookies are technically necessary and cannot be disabled without breaking core store functions.
We also use optional cookies — subject to your consent where required by applicable law — for analytics and, to a limited extent, for advertising attribution. The specific purposes for which cookies are used on our store include:
- Keeping your shopping cart contents intact as you browse across different product pages
- Remembering your selected region, currency, and preferred settings between pages
- Maintaining your logged-in state if you have created a customer account
- Preventing fraudulent transactions and protecting the security of your checkout session
- Measuring which product pages, blog posts, and collections receive the most traffic so we can improve our website
- Understanding how visitors navigate from the homepage through product listings and into checkout
- Supporting our order tracking tool (ParcelPanel) so you can check on your shipment in real time
- Enabling Shopify's built-in fraud analysis and payment security systems
- Attributing completed purchases to specific advertising campaigns when we run paid ads

External Services
Third-Party Cookies & Services
Several cookies on rdy2grosoilsystems.com are placed by third-party companies whose technology we have integrated into our Shopify store. We do not have direct control over these cookies after they are set. Each third party has its own privacy and cookie policy, which we link below.
Shopify is the e-commerce platform that powers our entire store — from product listings and the shopping cart through to payment processing and order confirmation. As a processor of transactions on our behalf, Shopify sets several first-party and third-party cookies that are required to run a secure, functional online store. These include session management, cart persistence, fraud prevention, and payment processing cookies. Shopify operates as a data processor under our instructions and complies with applicable US and international data protection frameworks. You can review Shopify's full cookie disclosure at shopify.com/legal/cookies.
We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns on our store — such as the most-visited product pages, average session durations, and the geographic distribution of US visitors by state. We have enabled IP anonymization, meaning your full IP address is truncated before it is stored by Google. We do not enable Google Analytics Advertising Features and do not use this tool to build retargeting audiences. Analytics data is retained for 14 months within our property. We also use Google Ads conversion tracking to measure whether paid ad clicks result in completed purchases. You can opt out of Google's measurement via the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on or by adjusting your preferences at Google Ad Settings. Google's full privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.
We have integrated the ParcelPanel order tracking application — accessible at rdy2grosoilsystems.com/apps/parcelpanel — so you can check the real-time status of your shipment without needing to contact us directly. ParcelPanel sets a session-only cookie to display your shipment data when you enter your order number or tracking ID. No payment information or personal data beyond your order reference is processed or stored by this cookie. You can review ParcelPanel's privacy terms on their official website.
U.S. Privacy Law
Your State-Level Privacy Rights
We ship exclusively within the United States, and multiple states have enacted comprehensive consumer privacy laws that grant residents specific rights regarding how cookies and other tracking technologies are used. Your rights under the law applicable to your state are summarized below.
California Residents
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), grants you the right to know what personal data we collect through cookies, the right to delete it, the right to correct it, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. Cookies linked to advertising platforms — such as the Google Ads conversion cookies listed in this policy — may constitute "sharing" under the CPRA definition. You can exercise your opt-out right immediately by visiting our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page. No account is required. We do not sell data to data brokers and we do not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
Virginia Residents
The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), effective January 1, 2023, grants you the right to access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of personal data we hold about you that was collected through our store's cookies and tracking technologies. You also have the right to opt out of targeted advertising and profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@rdy2grosoilsystems.com. We respond within 45 days of receiving a verified request.
Colorado Residents
The Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), effective July 1, 2023, gives you the right to opt out of targeted advertising, access personal data collected about you through cookies, and request its deletion or correction. Colorado law requires that businesses honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal as an automatic opt-out of data sharing. Our store is configured to recognize and honor GPC signals from Colorado residents as an opt-out of advertising cookie data-sharing.
Connecticut Residents
The Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA), effective July 1, 2023, grants Connecticut residents the right to access, delete, and correct personal data collected through cookies, as well as the right to opt out of targeted advertising and the sale of personal data. You also have the right to appeal a denial of your rights request. Submit requests or appeals to contact@rdy2grosoilsystems.com. We respond within 45 days.
Utah Residents
The Utah Consumer Privacy Act (UCPA), effective December 31, 2023, gives you the right to confirm whether we process your personal data through cookies, access a copy of that data, delete data you have directly provided to us, and opt out of the sale of your personal data. We honor these rights regardless of whether our store meets the UCPA's formal revenue or data-volume applicability thresholds.
All Other U.S. Residents
Even if your state has not yet enacted a standalone comprehensive privacy law, you may still submit a request to access, delete, or opt out of the sharing of any personal data collected through cookies on our store. We review all such requests in good faith and respond within a reasonable timeframe. Contact us at contact@rdy2grosoilsystems.com or call +1 (386) 385-8474.
Your Controls
How to Manage or Delete Cookies
You have multiple ways to control which cookies are stored on your device. The options below range from browser-level controls that affect all websites to service-specific opt-out tools that target only certain third-party cookies.
Use Your Browser's Built-In Cookie Settings
Every major browser includes controls to view, block, or delete cookies. We recommend blocking only third-party or advertising cookies if you still want to use the shopping cart, as blocking all cookies will prevent essential store functions from working. Use the browser-specific links at the bottom of this section to navigate directly to your cookie management settings.
Opt Out of Google Analytics Tracking
Install the free Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits across any website that uses it, including ours. This does not affect your ability to browse or shop on rdy2grosoilsystems.com.
Opt Out of Google Ads Conversion Tracking
Visit Google Ad Settings to turn off personalized advertising across Google's ad network. You can also use the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out tool or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page to opt out from multiple ad networks simultaneously.
Submit a Do Not Sell / Do Not Share Request (California & Others)
California residents and others can visit our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page to submit a formal opt-out request under CCPA/CPRA. This request is processed within 15 business days and deactivates advertising cookies on our domain for your browser.
Enable the Global Privacy Control (GPC) Signal
If your browser or a browser extension broadcasts a Global Privacy Control signal, our store is configured to recognize and honor it as an automatic opt-out of data sharing for targeted advertising, in compliance with the California CPRA and the Colorado Privacy Act. GPC-compatible options include Firefox with strict privacy settings, and the GPC browser extension available for Chrome and other browsers.
Contact Us Directly for Any Request
If you cannot locate a specific opt-out mechanism or want to submit a general data access, deletion, or correction request, contact our team at contact@rdy2grosoilsystems.com or call +1 (386) 385-8474. We are available Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern Time. We also offer live chat through our website during those hours.

Browser Signals
Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that transmits a signal to websites requesting that they not track your browsing behavior. Because there is currently no universal legal standard or agreed-upon technical specification that governs how websites are required to respond to a DNT header, our store does not currently alter its data collection practices in specific response to a DNT browser signal.
However, the Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a newer and legally recognized opt-out mechanism in specific U.S. states. Under the California CPRA (effective January 1, 2023) and the Colorado Privacy Act (effective July 1, 2023), businesses are required to recognize and honor GPC signals as opt-out-of-sharing requests. Our store is configured to treat an incoming GPC signal from a California or Colorado visitor as an automatic opt-out from the advertising-related data-sharing that occurs through our Google Ads integration.
You can broadcast a GPC signal by using Firefox with strict privacy mode enabled, or by installing a GPC-compatible browser extension. This applies only to our domain, rdy2grosoilsystems.com — we have no ability to control how other websites respond to your GPC preference signal.
