What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us improve functionality, analyze usage, and personalize content.

Types of Cookies We Use:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for core functions like login, checkout, and location.

  • Analytics Cookies: Help us understand usage patterns (e.g., Google Analytics).

10. Customer Data Disclaimer (Liability Limitation)

Greenlink Go is a platform that connects customers with independent store owners.

  • Store owners are solely responsible for order fulfillment, expiry dates, product quality, and safe handling.

  • Greenlink Go does not manufacture, store, or deliver products.

  • Payments are processed through third-party providers (e.g., Stripe). Greenlink Go is not liable for breaches at those providers.

Greenlink Go will assist where possible, but final accountability lies with the vendor.
