You choose what we track

We use cookies to make your shopping experience smoother and to understand how people use our site. Only essential cookies run by default. Nothing else loads until you say so. You can accept all, reject all, or customize by category, and you can change your preferences at any time from the footer of any page. Every tool we use is named and explained, and your data is never sold to advertisers.

This Cookies Policy explains how Groupe Party Expert Inc. ("Party Expert," "we," "us," "our"), located at 2575 Blvd. le Corbusier, Laval, Quebec H7S 2E8, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on party-expert.com, and how you can manage your preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device, remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, and improve your experience. We also use related technologies such as web beacons, tracking pixels, local storage, and session storage.

Cookies can be "session" or "persistent." Session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies you, but personal information we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. We never store sensitive personal information, such as mailing addresses or account passwords, in the cookies we use. For further information on how we use, store, and protect your personal data, see our Privacy Policy.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They enable core features such as your shopping cart, checkout process, account login and authentication, fraud prevention, and security functions. They also include the cookie that records your consent preferences so we can remember your choices. Because these cookies are essential, they do not require your consent. Examples include Shopify session cookies, cart identifiers, CSRF security tokens, and the consent preference cookie. These are typically session cookies, though some (like your consent record) are persistent.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular, how visitors navigate the site, and how new pages or features perform when we test them. All information collected is aggregated and anonymous. Examples include Google Analytics 4, Triple Whale, and Shopify Analytics. These are persistent cookies administered by third parties and they require your consent.

Functional and Preference Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. They remember choices you make such as your language preference, your login details, your selected pickup store, and recently viewed products, so you don't have to re-enter your preferences every time you visit. Examples include language and store selection preferences and Algolia search personalization. These are persistent cookies and they require your consent.

Marketing and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are set by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites and platforms. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device and by using information about your browsing history to group you with other users who have similar interests. If you do not allow these cookies, you will still see advertising, but it will be less targeted to you. Examples include the Meta Pixel, Google Ads tag, TikTok Pixel, Pinterest Tag, and Klaviyo tracking. These are persistent cookies administered by third parties and they require your consent.

Social Media Cookies

Our website may include plug-ins and features from social media networks such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, used to report usage statistics and provide social media features like share buttons. These plug-ins may store their own cookies. We do not control these social media cookies; please refer to the privacy policies of the relevant social networks for information about their cookies.

Third-Party Cookies Outside Our Control

Some pages on our website may include embedded content or features provided by third parties, such as YouTube videos, social media share buttons, or partner widgets. These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their content. We do not control these third-party cookies and are not responsible for them. Their use is governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the respective third parties. We encourage you to review those policies directly.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals, as no universally accepted standard exists for interpreting them. We do support Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where technically feasible. In all cases, you can manage your preferences directly through our cookie consent banner or your browser settings.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will allow you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences by category. You can update your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our website.

You may also control cookies through your browser settings, including deleting cookies already saved on your device or instructing your browser to refuse them. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent certain features of the website from functioning correctly, such as your cart or checkout.
