Offline Google Conversion Tracking Cookie Clause for In-Store Checkout

At The Spinery, we are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. This clause explains how we use Google’s offline conversion tracking technology to link the in-store purchases made by customers to online advertisements.

What is Offline Conversion Tracking?

Offline Conversion Tracking is a Google Ads feature that allows us to import offline conversion events, such as purchases made in-store, and associate them with the online interactions (clicks or views) of our ads.

How We Use Conversion Tracking Data:

  • Linking In-Store Purchases to Online Activity: When you complete a purchase in our store, we may collect limited transaction data (like the transaction amount and date). This data is then linked to a cookie placed on your browser by Google when you clicked on one of our advertisements. This helps us understand which ads are leading to in-store purchases.

  • Improvement of Ad Performance: The data collected helps us measure the effectiveness of our ads and improve the relevance of the content we present to you.

  • Data Privacy and Security: We ensure that all data used for offline conversion tracking is anonymized and cannot be used to personally identify you. We adhere to Google’s privacy policies and legal obligations for data protection.

Opting Out:

You have the option to opt out of offline conversion tracking. If you choose to opt out, we will not link your in-store purchase data with the online ad interactions. You can also manage your cookie preferences through your web browser settings.
