3. Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to improve your experience on our website.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files stored on your browser when you visit our site. They help us remember your preferences, keep items in your cart, and measure site performance.
First-party cookies:
These are set directly by Protein Pop (for example, to remember your cart or login). They are mostly functional and necessary for the site to work properly.
Third-party cookies:
These are set by our partners (for example, Google Analytics, Meta, or advertising networks). They help us understand how visitors use our site, show you relevant ads, and improve our marketing.
Your choices:
- Essential cookies (like those that keep your cart working) cannot be turned off, as they are required for the site to function.
- Non-essential cookies (analytics, advertising, personalization) are optional. If you are a California resident, you have the right to accept or reject all non-essential cookies.
- You can manage cookies at any time by adjusting your browser settings, rejecting cookies through our site banner, or using the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link (if applicable).
Please note that disabling cookies may limit certain features or functionality of our website.
4. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with:
- Service providers (e.g., Shopify, payment processors, shipping carriers).
- Marketing and analytics partners who help us advertise responsibly.
- Legal authorities if required by law, to enforce policies, or protect rights.
- Business transfers (e.g., merger, acquisition, or sale of assets).
5. Relationship with Shopify
Our store is hosted on Shopify. Shopify provides the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products. Your personal data may be stored through Shopify’s databases and applications. Shopify stores your data on secure servers behind a firewall and processes payments securely.

6. Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not directed to individuals under the age of majority in their state or province of residence. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will delete it.
7. Security & Retention
We use industry-standard security measures (including SSL encryption) to protect your data. However, no system is 100% secure.
We retain your personal information as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy unless a longer retention period is required by law.
