This Privacy Policy explains how css-liquids-for-shopify.site handles information when you visit and use the website.

This website is a free Shopify Liquid, CSS, JavaScript, and theme-customization code library built on WordPress. It is an independent resource — not operated by or affiliated with Shopify Inc.

Information We May Collect

You can browse most of the website without creating an account or directly giving us personal information. Some information may still be collected automatically when you visit the site.

Technical and Website-Use Information

Our website, WordPress installation, security tools, Google Analytics 4, advertising services, or related website services may process information such as:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and device type
  • Operating system
  • Pages viewed and date/time of visits
  • Referring page or website
  • General geographic information
  • Website interactions
  • Cookie or browser identifiers where applicable

We do not use this list to suggest that every item is collected during every visit. What is processed depends on the service or feature being used.

Information You Send to Us

If you contact us through our Contact Form 7 form, we may receive information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, message, or other details included in your question. We use this information mainly to read and respond to your message.

Please do not send Shopify passwords, API secrets, payment information, customer databases, private access tokens, or other sensitive credentials through the contact form.


Why We Use Information

We may process information where reasonably necessary to:

  • Operate and maintain the website
  • Deliver pages and code resources
  • Protect the website from spam, abuse, malicious traffic, and security threats
  • Understand how visitors use the Shopify Code Library
  • Improve articles, tutorials, navigation, and site performance
  • Measure traffic through Google Analytics 4
  • Respond to messages sent through the contact form
  • Display and measure advertising through Google AdSense
  • Meet legal obligations that apply to us

We do not intentionally collect personal information simply because it may be technically possible to collect it.


Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small pieces of information that a website or third-party service can store in your browser. This website uses Complianz to manage cookie consent and privacy choices.

Essential Cookies

Some cookies or local storage may be needed for website security, basic WordPress functionality, remembering privacy preferences, preventing abuse, and keeping essential features working. These technologies may be used where they are necessary for the website to function or remain secure.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand general website usage. Google Analytics may use cookies and related identifiers when the relevant consent has been provided.

Advertising Cookies

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver advertisements, measure advertising performance, prevent invalid activity, and personalize ads where permitted and where the required consent has been provided.


Cookie Consent Banner

We use Complianz as our Consent Management Platform (CMP). Where consent is required, Complianz displays a cookie consent banner that allows visitors to make privacy choices before or while optional technologies are used.

The banner allows you to:

  • Accept or reject non-essential cookies
  • Choose individual cookie categories
  • Change your preferences later
  • Withdraw consent at any time

You can change or withdraw your consent later through the Cookie Settings control available on the website. For visitors in regions where consent is legally required, optional analytics and advertising technologies operate according to the choices communicated through the CMP. The Complianz configuration is reviewed periodically to confirm that the banner, consent categories, Google integration, and withdrawal controls remain consistent with this Privacy Policy.


How to Reject or Disable Non-Essential Cookies

You can control non-essential cookies and similar technologies in several ways:

  • Choose Reject non-essential cookies in the Complianz banner
  • Open Cookie Settings and disable optional categories
  • Withdraw a previous consent choice
  • Delete stored cookies through your browser settings
  • Block third-party cookies through your browser
  • Configure your browser to block some or all optional cookies

Blocking essential technologies may affect the operation of certain website features. If a WordPress plugin or other service introduces additional non-essential cookies in the future, its use will be reflected in the site’s consent configuration and this Privacy Policy where appropriate.


Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the website. GA4 helps us understand which pages are visited, general traffic sources, device and browser categories, general geographic information, how visitors interact with pages, and which Code Library resources receive traffic. We use this information to improve the website rather than to identify visitors personally.

Google Consent Mode v2

This website uses Google Consent Mode v2 together with Complianz. Consent Mode v2 communicates a visitor’s consent state to supported Google tags using the following signals:

  • analytics_storage
  • ad_storage
  • ad_user_data
  • ad_personalization

When analytics storage is denied, analytics cookies are not read or written, although cookieless measurement signals may still be sent for supported measurement and modeling purposes. Google Consent Mode does not itself replace a cookie banner or remove the need to obtain valid consent where the law requires it.

For EEA, UK, and Swiss AdSense traffic, Google requires a certified CMP integrated with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework when serving personalized ads. Our Complianz setup is configured to support these requirements for applicable visitors.


Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to help support the website by displaying advertisements. Google and participating advertising providers may process information to deliver advertisements, measure advertising performance, prevent invalid or fraudulent activity, control ad frequency, understand interactions with advertisements, and personalize advertising where legally permitted and where the necessary consent has been provided.

Information processed directly by Google is subject to Google’s own privacy policies, contractual terms, and advertising controls. This website’s use of Google advertising services is also subject to Google’s EU User Consent Policy.

Turning off personalized advertising does not necessarily stop advertisements from appearing. Non-personalized or contextual advertisements may still be displayed depending on the applicable settings and consent state.


Data Retention

We aim to keep identifiable or user-level information only for as long as reasonably necessary.

Data Type Retention Period
Contact-form messages (email system) Up to 12 months after last correspondence
Website or security logs Normally up to 90 days
GA4 user-level and event-level data 14 months (per GA4 property setting)
Complianz consent records Up to 12 months
Temporary security / anti-spam data Normally up to 90 days
Information for legal claims or obligations As long as reasonably necessary for that purpose
Data controlled by Google AdSense or Google services Per Google’s applicable retention policies

We periodically review the settings in GA4, Complianz, Wordfence, and other services to ensure these retention periods accurately reflect how the website operates.


GDPR and European Privacy Rights

This section applies where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to our processing.

Lawful Bases

Consent

Where consent is required, we rely on your consent for optional technologies such as certain analytics and advertising activities. You can withdraw consent at any time through the site’s Complianz Cookie Settings.

Legitimate Interests

We may rely on legitimate interests for three limited purposes: (1) operating, maintaining, and diagnosing technical problems with the website; (2) protecting the website from spam, fraud, malicious activity, and security threats; and (3) responding to ordinary messages or questions sent by visitors. We use legitimate interests only where we believe those interests are not overridden by the rights and reasonable expectations of visitors.

Legal Obligations

We may process or retain information where this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation that applies to us.

Your GDPR Rights

Where GDPR applies, you may have the following rights:

Receive information about how your data is used
Request access to personal data held about you
Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected
Request deletion in circumstances provided by law
Request restriction of certain processing
Receive qualifying data in a portable format
Object to certain processing
Withdraw consent where processing is consent-based
Lodge a complaint with a data-protection authority

These rights depend on the circumstances and are not absolute in every situation. To make a privacy request, contact:

International Transfers Outside the EEA

This website uses services including Google Analytics 4 and Google AdSense. Information processed through these services may be transferred or processed outside the European Economic Area. Google uses Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as a transfer mechanism for certain international transfers. Where we are responsible for a restricted international transfer under GDPR, we aim to use an applicable lawful transfer mechanism and appropriate safeguards.

EU Representative (Article 27)

The website owner is not established in the European Economic Area. This website is primarily an informational and educational code resource. It does not actively target EU residents through directed marketing or systematic behavioral monitoring. Based on the nature of the site’s activities, we do not consider an EU representative to be required at this time. This position will be reviewed if the site’s scope, audience, or data-processing activities change in a way that affects this assessment.

Privacy and EU data-protection questions can be directed to: info@cssliquidsforshopify.site

Data Protection Officer (DPO)

A formal Data Protection Officer has not been appointed. Under GDPR Article 37, a DPO is mandatory only in specified circumstances — such as certain public bodies, organizations whose core activities involve large-scale systematic monitoring, or large-scale processing of sensitive data. Based on the website’s functions as a free code library and educational resource, we do not consider these thresholds to be currently met. This position will be reviewed if the site’s activities change materially.

Privacy questions can be sent to: info@cssliquidsforshopify.site

Legitimate Interests Balancing Summary

Website Operation and Technical Maintenance

Interest: Keeping the website functional, fixing errors, and delivering requested pages. Basic technical information is necessary to diagnose failures, manage requests, and keep a WordPress website operating. The information used is limited to what is reasonably needed for technical operation and troubleshooting.

Security and Abuse Prevention

Interest: Protecting the website from attacks, spam, malicious requests, and unauthorized access. Security tools need certain request and network information to identify suspicious activity. Processing remains focused on security rather than unrelated profiling, and security information is not retained indefinitely.

Responding to Ordinary Enquiries

Interest: Reading and responding when a visitor chooses to contact us. We need the information included in a message — such as an email address and message content — to provide a useful response. Visitors choose what information to provide and are asked not to send unnecessary sensitive information.

These legitimate interest assessments reflect the actual processing carried out by this website based on its current functions as a free educational code library.


California Privacy Rights — CCPA/CPRA

This section applies only to the extent the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) applies to us. Where applicable, California consumers may have rights including:

  • The right to know what personal information is collected, used, or shared
  • The right to request deletion, subject to exceptions
  • The right to correct inaccurate personal information
  • The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information
  • The right to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information where applicable
  • The right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising privacy rights

We do not sell personal information for money. However, Google AdSense and advertising technologies may process identifiers or other information for advertising purposes. California visitors can reject non-essential advertising cookies through the site’s consent controls. For broader advertising opt-out options, visitors may also use Google’s ad settings.

To exercise California privacy rights regarding information controlled directly by this website, contact: info@cssliquidsforshopify.site


Privacy Choices for Visitors in Pakistan

Visitors in Pakistan can use the privacy controls provided by this website, including rejecting optional cookies through the Complianz banner, changing cookie preferences later, blocking or deleting browser cookies, using available Google Analytics opt-out controls, adjusting Google advertising preferences, and contacting us about information they have voluntarily submitted.

For questions about information controlled directly by this website, contact: info@cssliquidsforshopify.site

These website-level privacy choices do not mean that rights created by another country’s privacy law automatically apply to visitors in Pakistan.


Contact Form Information

This website uses Contact Form 7 to handle contact-form submissions. If you voluntarily submit a message, we may process information such as your name, email address, message, and other information you choose to include.

Contact Form 7 itself does not save submitted messages by default. Messages may be delivered according to the website’s configured email settings. Messages that reach our email system may be retained for up to 12 months after the last correspondence, unless longer retention is reasonably necessary for an unresolved security, dispute, or legal matter.

We do not need your Shopify admin password, private API keys, customer information, or other account credentials to answer an ordinary website question.


Third-Party Links

The Shopify Code Library may contain links to Shopify, Shopify developer documentation, development tools, external educational resources, third-party websites, and other services relevant to tutorials.

Once you leave css-liquids-for-shopify.site, the external website’s privacy practices apply. We do not control how another website or service collects, stores, shares, or uses information. You should review the privacy information provided by an external service if you want to understand how it handles your data.


Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information and maintain the website safely. This includes using website-security tools such as Wordfence and following reasonable WordPress security practices.

However, no website, WordPress installation, hosting system, email service, analytics platform, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors should avoid submitting passwords, private API keys, Shopify customer information, payment credentials, or other confidential account information through the site’s general contact form.


Children’s Privacy

The website provides Shopify coding, web-development, and educational resources and is not designed specifically to collect personal information from children. If information is submitted in circumstances where applicable law requires parental permission or another protective step, we will take reasonable action when we become aware of the issue. We do not intentionally encourage children to provide unnecessary personal information through this website.


Your Requests and Contact Information

For privacy questions or requests concerning information controlled directly by css-liquids-for-shopify.site, please contact us. Please describe your request clearly enough for us to understand the information or privacy right involved. We may need reasonable information to verify that a request relates to the correct person.

Requests concerning information independently controlled by Google, Shopify, Wordfence, or another third-party provider may also be subject to that provider’s own privacy process.

The data controller for this website is the operator of css-liquids-for-shopify.site, contactable at the address below.


Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy when something material changes, such as adding or removing analytics services, changing advertising technology, changing WordPress plugins that process visitor information, adding new website functionality, changing retention practices, updating our Google Consent Mode or AdSense configuration, or responding to changes in applicable legal requirements.

When a meaningful revision is made, we will update the date at the top of this page so visitors can understand that the policy has changed.
