Cookie Policy

Effective 03/18/2023Last updated [LAST UPDATED DATE]

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our storefront. It describes what these technologies are, the categories we use, why we use them, and the choices available to you for managing them. Please read this policy together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more generally.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site operator.

Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by another organization (such as analytics, advertising, or embedded content) to be delivered on or through the website.

Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we and our service providers may use related technologies that function in a similar way, including:

  • Pixels and web beacons — tiny graphics or code snippets embedded in pages or emails that help us understand activity, such as whether a message was opened.
  • Local storage — data stored by your browser (for example, localStorage or sessionStorage) used to remember preferences or improve performance.
  • Software development kits (SDKs) — code integrated into mobile or embedded experiences that can perform functions comparable to cookies.

In this policy, references to "cookies" generally include these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for several reasons, including to:

  • Enable the storefront to function and be secure.
  • Remember your preferences and settings.
  • Keep track of items in your shopping cart and support checkout.
  • Understand how visitors interact with the site so we can improve it.
  • Measure the performance of our content and, where applicable, our marketing.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to operate. Others are optional and are used only where permitted, or where you have provided consent where required by applicable law.

Categories of Cookies We Use

We group the cookies we use into the following categories. The specific cookies present may vary depending on the features you use and the third-party services active on the storefront.

Strictly Necessary Cookies These cookies are essential to enable you to navigate the site and use its features, such as adding items to a cart, signing in to an account, and completing a purchase. Because these cookies are required for the site to work, they cannot be switched off in our systems.

Functional Cookies These cookies allow the site to remember choices you make (such as language, region, or display preferences) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

Performance and Analytics Cookies These cookies collect information about how visitors use the site, such as which pages are visited most often and whether users encounter errors. This information helps us measure and improve how the site works. The data collected is typically aggregated and used to understand overall usage patterns.

Advertising and Targeting Cookies Where used, these cookies may be set through the site by us or our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content or ads on this and other sites. They generally rely on uniquely identifying your browser and device.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third parties that provide services on our behalf or that we integrate into the storefront, such as payment processors, analytics providers, hosting and content delivery services, and embedded media or social features.

We do not control the setting of these third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties. We encourage you to review the relevant third parties' policies to understand how they use cookies and similar technologies. The specific third-party services in use may change over time as we update the storefront.

How Long Cookies Last

Cookies may be either:

  • Session cookies, which are temporary and are deleted from your device once you close your browser; or
  • Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them.

The retention period for any persistent cookie depends on its purpose. Where required, we retain cookie-related data no longer than necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as permitted by applicable law.

Your Choices and How to Control Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies:

Cookie banner or preference tool. Where we display a cookie banner or preference center, you can use it to accept or reject optional cookie categories, and to change your choices at a later time.

Browser settings. Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies. You can usually find these controls in your browser's settings or preferences menu. Please note that if you block or delete strictly necessary cookies, parts of the site may not function properly.

Device settings. Mobile devices may offer additional controls, such as the ability to reset advertising identifiers or limit ad tracking.

Opt-out tools. Some analytics and advertising providers offer their own opt-out mechanisms. You may also be able to use industry opt-out resources to manage interest-based advertising.

Because your choices are typically stored in a cookie, you may need to set your preferences again if you clear your cookies, use a different browser, or use a different device.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting or transmit similar preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC). Industry standards for how these signals should be interpreted are not fully settled. Where applicable law requires us to honor a recognized preference signal, we will do so as required. Otherwise, our response to such signals may vary. For more information about how we handle these signals, please refer to our Privacy Policy or contact us using the details below.
