1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by online service providers to (for example) make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, [Your Shop Name]) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies.

On our website, we have included content from Instagram, TikTok, X (Twitter) and Facebook to promote web pages (e.g. “like”, “pin”) or share (e.g. “tweet”) on social networks like Instagram, TikTok, X and Facebook. This content is embedded with code derived from Instagram, TikTok, X and Facebook and places cookies. This content might store and process certain information for personalized advertising.

Instagram, TikTok, X and Facebook are located in the United States.
