Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 13, 2026
Short list. Session cookies for Shopify sign-in, and one language cookie on this website if you pick a language. No analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking.
1. Cookies the app uses
In short: Session cookies for Shopify sign-in, plus one optional language cookie (sg_lang) on this website.
When you install or open SaleGuard, the Shopify authentication flow may set session cookies so your store stays signed in to the app. These are strictly necessary cookies — the app cannot work without them, so no consent banner is required for them under EU cookie rules.
| Cookie | Purpose | Type / lifetime |
|---|---|---|
Shopify app session cookies (names like shopify_app_session) | Keep your store’s sign-in to the app during and after the Shopify OAuth flow. | Strictly necessary; session-scoped. |
sg_lang (this website only) | Remembers the language you picked in the language menu. It holds a language code such as en or ja and nothing else. | Functional, optional. Set only when you choose a language; lasts up to 1 year. No tracking. |
Inside the Shopify admin, the embedded app also relies on Shopify’s own session mechanisms (such as session tokens); those are governed by Shopify’s cookie policy, not ours.
2. Cookies we do not use
In short: No analytics cookies, no ads, no tracking pixels. The website counts page views without cookies (page, language, referring site, bot or not) and does not store IP addresses.
- No analytics cookies (no Google Analytics or similar).
- No advertising or retargeting cookies.
- No cross-site tracking pixels or fingerprinting.
- The website (getsaleguard.com) sets one cookie of its own,
sg_lang, and only after you pick a language. It sets no analytics or advertising cookies. Page views are counted on our server and through Vercel Web Analytics, which works without cookies.
If we ever introduce analytics or any non-essential cookies, we will update this page first and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent before setting them.
3. Managing cookies
In short: You can block cookies in your browser, but sign-in will stop working.
You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Because the only cookies we use are the ones sign-in depends on, blocking them means the app cannot keep you signed in.
