Please take a moment to read and understand this Cookie Policy. This Cookie Policy should also be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions.

 

WHAT ARE COOKIES OR SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES?

Cookies and similar technologies are very small text documents or pieces of code, which often include an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website or use a mobile application, a computer asks your computer or mobile device for permission to store this file on your computer or mobile device and access information from it. Information gathered through cookies and similar technologies may include the date and time of visits and how you are using the website or mobile application.

We use first and third-party cookies in connection with our Service. First party cookies are cookies placed by us to collect information about you. However, certain cookies available through our Service are placed by third party website operators. This means that the information about you collected by those third-party cookies will be shared with the relevant third party. Please refer to the relevant third-party website operator’s privacy notice for more information about how they may use such information: Google, Facebook, Shopify, CloudFlare.

Other similar technologies we may use include pixels and SDKs. Pixels which are small images on a web page or in an email. Pixels collect information about your browser or device and can set cookies. SDKs are blocks of code provided by our partners that may be installed in our mobile applications. SDKs help us understand how you interact with our mobile applications and collect certain information about the device and network you use to access our applications, such as the advertising identifier associated with your device and information about how you interact with our applications.

HOW LONG DO COOKIES LAST?

Session Cookies – these are temporary cookies that expire (and are automatically erased) whenever you close your browser.

Persistent Cookies – these usually have an expiration date and so stay in your browser until they expire, or until you manually delete them.
