Cookie Policy
Welcome to Infinity Store ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our online store at https://infinity24x7.com, and the choices you have regarding their use. Our store is built on the Shopify platform, and many of the cookies described below are set by Shopify to ensure a smooth and secure shopping experience for you.
By continuing to browse or use our store, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time — we explain how in Section 5 below.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. Each time you return to the website, the cookie is sent back to the server, allowing the site to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit.
There are different types of cookies:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. Once you close your browser, they are automatically deleted. They help with things like keeping items in your shopping cart as you navigate between pages.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (or until you manually delete them). They help the website remember your preferences and recognise you on return visits.
- First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by our website (or our platform, Shopify) and can only be read by our site. They are used for essential store operations like managing your cart and checkout session.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are set by external services that we use, such as analytics tools or payment processors. These cookies are governed by the respective third party's own policies.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential Store Operations: Cookies are critical for basic features like your shopping cart, secure checkout, and session management. Without these, you simply wouldn't be able to place an order.
- Remembering Your Preferences: Cookies help us remember your preferred region and language settings so you don't have to set them every time you visit.
- Understanding Store Performance: We use analytics cookies to learn how visitors interact with our store — which pages are popular, where visitors drop off, and whether there are any technical errors. This helps us improve your shopping experience.
- Measuring Marketing Effectiveness: Certain cookies help us understand how you found our store (e.g., through a search engine, social media, or an advertisement) so we can measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
- What We Don't Do: We do not use cookies to personally identify you beyond what is strictly necessary for the operation of our store. We are a small business that values your trust — our use of cookies is limited and purposeful.

4. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to cookies set by Shopify, certain third-party services integrated into our store may also place cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies — they are governed by the respective third party's own cookie and privacy policies.
- Razorpay (Payment Processing): When you proceed to checkout and make a payment, Razorpay — our payment gateway — may set cookies on your device for security, fraud prevention, and session management purposes. We do not have access to or control over these cookies. You can review Razorpay's privacy policy at: https://razorpay.com/privacy/
-
Google (Analytics): If we use analytics services such as Google Analytics, they may place their own cookies (e.g.,
_ga,_gid) to collect anonymous, aggregated data about visitor behaviour. You can learn more about Google's cookie practices at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies - Social Media Platforms: If our store includes social media buttons or widgets (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest), those platforms may set their own cookies when you interact with these elements. These cookies are governed by the respective platform's privacy and cookie policies.
Please Note: We encourage you to review the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party service you interact with through our store. We are not responsible for the cookie practices of these external services.
5. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing cookies:
Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our store, you will see a cookie consent banner powered by Shopify's built-in Customer Privacy API. You can use this banner to accept or customise your cookie preferences. You can revisit your choices at any time through the consent mechanism on our site.
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Here's how to manage cookies in the major browsers:
- Google Chrome: Go to Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data. Here you can block third-party cookies, clear existing cookies, or manage site-specific cookie permissions.
- Mozilla Firefox: Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. You can choose your preferred level of cookie blocking (Standard, Strict, or Custom) and clear stored cookies.
- Apple Safari: Go to Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari blocks third-party cookies by default. You can also remove stored cookies for specific websites.
- Microsoft Edge: Go to Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data. You can block or allow cookies and clear existing data.
Do Not Track (DNT) Signals
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal to websites. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At present, our store does not alter its behaviour in response to DNT signals, but you can still manage cookies through the methods described above.
Mobile Devices
On mobile devices, you can manage cookie settings through your device's browser settings (following similar paths as described above for Chrome, Safari, or Firefox mobile). Additionally, you may manage app-level tracking preferences through your device settings:
- Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads
- iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking
6. What Happens If You Disable Cookies
Disabling certain cookies may affect your experience on our store. Here's what to expect:
| Cookie Category | Impact of Disabling |
|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | The store will not function properly. You will be unable to add items to your cart, proceed through checkout, or complete a purchase. We strongly recommend keeping these enabled. |
| Functional | Your preferences (such as region and language) may not be remembered between visits. You may need to set them manually each time. |
| Analytics & Performance | There will be no impact on your browsing experience. However, we will not be able to measure store performance or identify issues that could improve your experience. |
| Marketing | You may still see promotions and advertisements from us, but they may be less relevant to your interests since we won't be able to measure how you found our store. |
7. Your Rights Under Indian Law
