Two quick notes:
- If you run Facebook or Google ads — which you are — you should also add a cookie consent banner to your site. Shopify has free apps for this. It keeps you compliant and builds trust with cautious older buyers who worry about online privacy.
- California customers — if you get significant traffic from California, you may eventually need to add a CCPA section. It's not urgent at your current stage but worth knowing about as you scale.
