2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies can help websites:

• remember products in a shopping basket;
• keep customers logged in;
• remember preferences;
• process checkout securely;
• protect against fraud;
• understand how visitors use the website; and
• provide advertising or marketing functionality where enabled.

We may also use similar technologies such as:

• local storage;
• tracking pixels;
• tags;
• scripts;
• browser storage; and
• other storage or access technologies.

For simplicity, this policy generally refers to these technologies collectively as cookies.

3. Why We Use Cookies

We may use cookies to:

• operate the website;
• maintain your shopping basket;
• process checkout;
• enable customer accounts;
• keep the website secure;
• prevent fraud;
• remember your preferences;
• understand website performance;
• understand how visitors use our website;
• improve our website and services; and
• provide marketing or advertising functionality where you have made the appropriate choice.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

The cookies used by our website generally fall into the following categories.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to operate properly.

They may be used for:

• shopping baskets;
• checkout;
• customer login;
• account security;
• processing transactions;
• website security;
• fraud prevention;
• load balancing;
• remembering privacy choices; and
• maintaining essential website sessions.

Because these cookies are necessary to provide services you request or operate essential parts of the website, they may be used without asking for your consent where permitted by law.

You can block these cookies using your browser, but doing so may prevent parts of the shop from working correctly.

Functional and Preference Cookies

These cookies may help the website remember choices you make.

They may remember information such as:

• display preferences;
• language preferences;
• previously selected options; and
• certain website settings.

Depending on how a particular technology is used, we may ask for consent or rely on an applicable legal exception.

Where we rely on an exception that requires us to provide a means of objecting, you will be given an easy and free way to turn the relevant technology off.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics technologies can help us understand how visitors use the website.

Information may include:

• pages visited;
• number of visits;
• time spent on pages;
• website navigation;
• device type;
• browser type;
• page loading performance;
• referring pages; and
• general website usage.

This information helps us understand which parts of the website work well and where improvements may be needed.

Certain limited statistical analytics may be used without consent where they meet the requirements of the applicable UK legal exception.

Where we rely on this exception:

• the purpose will be limited to producing statistical information about use of our website;
• the information will be used to improve our website or service;
• it will not be used to track or profile individual visitors for advertising;
• appropriate information will be provided; and
• you will have a simple and free way to object.

Where analytics falls outside this exception, we will obtain consent where required before activating it.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Marketing technologies may be used to:

• understand the effectiveness of advertising;
• record interactions with advertising;
• measure conversions;
• build advertising audiences;
• personalise advertising; or
• recognise visitors across websites or services.

Where these technologies require consent, they will not be activated until you have chosen to allow them.

Rejecting marketing cookies will not prevent you from using the main shopping functions of our website.

You may still see advertising elsewhere, but it may be less relevant to you.

5. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies

First-party cookies are placed directly by Spots & Stripes Shop or by technology operating on our behalf.

They may be used for functions such as:

• shopping baskets;
• checkout;
• login;
• website preferences; and
• security.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies or similar technologies may be provided by third-party services integrated with our website.

These could include providers of:

• payment services;
• analytics;
• embedded content;
• social media;
• advertising;
• customer communications; and
• website functionality.

Third-party providers may have their own privacy and cookie policies.

Where their technologies require consent, they should not be activated until the appropriate consent has been obtained.

6. Ecommerce Cookies

Our online shop may use cookies necessary to remember:

• products added to your basket;
• quantities selected;
• checkout progress;
• customer sessions;
• account login status; and
• information required to complete your order.

Without these technologies, normal ecommerce functions may not work correctly.

These cookies are generally considered necessary for providing the shopping service you request.

7. Customer Account Cookies

If you log into your Spots & Stripes Shop account, cookies may be used to:

• recognise that you are logged in;
• maintain your secure session;
• protect your account;
• remember certain account preferences; and
• allow you to access account functions.

These cookies are generally necessary for providing the account service.

8. Payment Cookies

Payment providers may use cookies or similar technologies during checkout.

These may be required to:

• securely process payments;
• prevent fraudulent transactions;
• authenticate payment methods; and
• protect customers against unauthorised transactions.

Some payment-related technologies may be strictly necessary for completing your purchase.

The payment provider may also process information under its own privacy policy.

9. Security and Fraud Prevention

Cookies or similar technologies may be used to protect:

• customer accounts;
• checkout;
• payment transactions;
• our website;
• our customers; and
• our business.

These technologies may help detect:

• suspicious login attempts;
• automated attacks;
• fraudulent transactions;
• unusual website activity; and
• other security threats.

Where a technology is strictly necessary for security or providing a requested service, consent may not be required.

10. Our Cookie Banner

When you visit our website, you may be shown a cookie banner or preference centre.

Where applicable, you will be given clear choices about optional cookies.

The options should include:

Accept all

Reject non-essential

Manage preferences

Rejecting non-essential cookies should not prevent you from accessing the main shopping functions of the website.

11. Your Cookie Preferences

You can change your cookie choices at any time using the Cookie Settings link available on our website.

Where consent is required, you can withdraw that consent at any time.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before you changed your preference.

Where we rely on a statutory exception that requires us to provide a means of objecting, you can also use our cookie controls to object to that use.

12. Statistical Analytics

UK law allows certain technologies used solely for limited statistical purposes to operate without consent where specific requirements are met.

Where we rely on this exception, the information must be used for statistical purposes relating to how our website or service is used with a view to improving it.

This exception does not cover technologies used to:

• profile individual visitors;
• monitor individual browsing behaviour;
• build advertising audiences;
• track visitors across different websites;
• measure advertising performance using identifiable visitor activity; or
• provide personalised advertising.

Where our analytics go beyond the permitted statistical exception, we will ask for consent where required.

13. Preference Technologies

Certain technologies may be used to adapt the appearance or functionality of the website to preferences you have selected.

Where permitted by law, these may operate without consent where the applicable conditions are met.

Where required, we will provide a simple and free way for you to object.

14. Advertising and Tracking

We will not rely on the statistical analytics exception for advertising or behavioural tracking.

Where our website uses technologies for:

• personalised advertising;
• advertising measurement;
• cross-site tracking;
• remarketing;
• visitor profiling; or
• advertising audience creation,

we will obtain consent where required before those technologies are activated.

15. Embedded Content

Our website may sometimes include content provided by third-party services, such as:

• videos;
• maps;
• product media;
• social media content; or
• other embedded services.

Those services may attempt to store or access information on your device.

Where non-essential cookies or tracking technologies are involved, the relevant content or tracking may be blocked until you make the appropriate cookie choice.

16. How Long Cookies Last

Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.

Session cookies

Session cookies usually expire when you close your browser.

They may be used for temporary website functions such as maintaining a shopping session.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

They may be used to:

• remember preferences;
• remember privacy choices;
• support website security; or
• provide approved analytics or marketing functionality.

The exact lifetime depends on the cookie and its purpose.

17. Cookies Currently Used

Our cookie preference system should provide current information about the cookies or technologies detected on the website, including where available:

• cookie name;

• see which cookies are stored;
