Privacy and Cookie Policy

Last Updated: October 20, 2026

What this policy covers

This policy explains how shopwhizzy.com uses cookies and similar technologies. The site is run by Bruno Gaiteiro, sole trader (empresário em nome individual), operating as ShopWhizzy, Rua Gil Vicente, 4505-130 Santa Maria da Feira, Portugal.

For how we handle personal data in general, including your rights, please read our Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser so it can remember information between pages and visits. Similar technologies, such as the browser's local storage, work in the same way, and in this policy we call them all cookies.

How we use cookies

Essential cookies make the site work: they keep you signed in, remember your cart and language, protect forms against abuse and allow secure payments. They do not need your consent.

Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) help us understand how the site is used. We only use them if you click Agree in the cookie notice.

We do not use advertising cookies and we do not sell data to advertisers.

Analytics, session recordings and heatmaps

We measure visits with Umami, a privacy-friendly analytics tool that we host ourselves (stats.askyourstack.com). It does not use cookies, does not store your IP address and does not share data with advertising networks. It tells us which pages are visited, where visitors come from and which page they leave from.

Only if you click Agree in the cookie notice, Umami may also record a sample of visits to our public pages: how the page is scrolled, where you click and how the mouse moves. We use these recordings and the heatmaps built from them only to understand what works on our pages and to improve them. Text you type into forms is masked and never recorded, and we never record checkout, account, order or download pages.

Recordings are kept for 30 days and then deleted automatically. You can withdraw your consent at any time by deleting the cookies for shopwhizzy.com in your browser; the cookie notice will then appear again.
