Is anyone able to help, I am looking to change the logo used as the URL for my website. This would usually be done with an .ico file, however since I don’t have access to the file structure of shopify I cant add it.

Is there a way to add this icon, currently if I bookmark my website I get the shopify logo instead? example:
