Last updated: August 23, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Refurb Phone (“we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. We use cookies to make the site work, remember your preferences, analyze performance, and (with your consent) personalize marketing. You can manage non-essential cookies at any time using the button below.

Cookie Preferences

Tip: If the button does not open a preferences dialog, your browser may be blocking scripts, or your consent tool may not support programmatic opening. You can still manage cookies in your browser (see below).

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your choices, and provide insight into how the site is used. Some cookies are “session cookies” (deleted as soon as you close your browser) and some are “persistent” (stored for a longer period or until you delete them yourself).

Types of cookies we use

  • Strictly necessary: Required for core functions such as security, checkout, and the shopping cart. These cannot be disabled.
  • Preferences (functional): Remember settings such as language, currency, and previously viewed items.
  • Analytics: Help us understand traffic and improve the website. Set only with your consent where required.
  • Marketing: Used to display relevant ads and measure their performance. Set only with your consent.

Examples of cookies

The exact cookie names vary depending on the browser and the apps we use. Typical examples include:

Category Example Name Purpose Duration
Strictly Necessary _shopify_y, _shopify_s, cart, cart_ts Core Shopify functionality (session management, checkout, shopping cart). Session / up to 1 year
Preferences _shopify_country, localization Stores currency and location so we can display the correct prices and options. 1 day – 1 year
Analytics _ga, _gid, _gcl_au Google Analytics/Ads (audience measurement, site performance). 24 hours – 2 years

Do you sell my personal data?
