Cookie Policy

Cookies Guidelines

At GolfCoursePrint.com, we use cookies and similar technologies to run our store securely, improve site experience, and measure performance of marketing and website usage.

Because our cookie banner (CookieYes free version) provides two choices only — Accept or Reject — this page explains exactly what each choice means.

1) What are cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember settings, and collect analytics/marketing signals (where permitted). Cookies may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).

2) Your choices on our website (Accept / Reject)

✅ If you click ACCEPT

You allow:

  1. Essential cookies required for site operation (always needed), and
  2. Non-essential cookies, including:
  • Analytics (Google Analytics 4, Hotjar)
  • Marketing / Advertising measurement (Google Ads, TikTok Pixel)
  • Marketing attribution & customer engagement tracking (Klaviyo)

This helps us understand what’s working (pages, products, checkout flow) and measure campaign performance.

❌ If you click REJECT

We will not load non-essential cookies (analytics + marketing).
However, strictly necessary cookies may still be used, because the store cannot function without them (security, cart, checkout, fraud prevention).

Important: Rejecting cookies may reduce personalization and may limit our ability to measure performance, but shopping and checkout should still work normally.

3) Types of cookies we use (explained simply)

A) Strictly Necessary (Always Active)

These cookies are required for:

  • Security and fraud prevention
  • Cart and checkout operation
  • Session stability and basic site features

You cannot disable these through our banner because the site would not work properly without them.

B) Analytics (Only if you ACCEPT)

Used to understand site usage and improve experience:

  • GA4 typically uses cookies like _ga and _ga_<container-id> (default expiry 2 years).
  • Hotjar uses cookies / storage items to understand user experience patterns (e.g., pages visited, interactions).

C) Marketing / Advertising (Only if you ACCEPT)

Used to measure ads and improve relevance:

  • TikTok Pixel uses cookies that generally expire after 13 months.
  • Klaviyo uses the __kla_id cookie to track and identify visitors when they submit a signup form or click a Klaviyo email/SMS link; once identified, it can last up to 2 years.
  • Google Ads may use cookies for ad measurement and relevance on Google and across partner sites.

4) Common cookies you may see (examples)

Cookie names can change based on vendor updates and configurations, but these are common:

Analytics (GA4)

  • _ga (2 years) — distinguishes users
  • _ga_<container-id> (2 years) — persists session state

Marketing (TikTok Pixel)

  • _ttp (13 months) — ad measurement/performance

Marketing (Klaviyo)

  • __kla_id (up to 2 years once identified) — visitor identification/attribution

(Note: depending on your setup, additional cookies may be set by Google Ads and Hotjar.)

5) How to change your decision later

You can update your cookie choice at any time by:

  1. Clearing cookies in your browser settings, then revisiting the site, or
  2. Using the CookieYes “re-open banner” option if enabled in your theme/footer.

6) Managing cookies in your browser

You can also block or delete cookies directly from your browser settings.
Note: Blocking all cookies may affect how the site works (cart/checkout/logins).

7) Updates to these guidelines

We may update this Cookies Guidelines page to reflect changes in our tools or legal requirements. We will revise the Effective Date at the top.
