Different cookies serve different purposes. Depending on the features, applications, and services enabled on our online store, the following categories may be relevant.

Essential Store Cookies

These technologies support the basic functions required to operate an online shop. They may help maintain your basket, support checkout, manage sessions, and protect website security.

Where a technology is strictly necessary to provide a service you request, it may qualify for an applicable legal exemption from consent requirements.

Their use will depend on the features available on our store and the applicable privacy requirements.

Where enabled, analytics technologies may help us understand how visitors use our website, which pages receive attention, and whether customers experience technical difficulties.

We may use relevant findings to improve our clothing collections, product presentation, navigation, and overall shopping experience. Any consent or objection requirements will depend on the technology, its purpose, and the applicable legal rules.

Marketing and Advertising Technologies

If marketing integrations are enabled, cookies or similar technologies may help measure advertising campaigns, understand interactions with promotional content, or support more relevant advertising.

These technologies will be used in accordance with applicable requirements, including obtaining consent where required. We do not assume that every marketing or advertising service is active on our store.

4. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device

Cookies may remain on your device for different lengths of time, depending on their purpose and configuration.

Session Cookies

Session cookies are generally temporary and are removed when you close your browser or when the relevant session ends.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. They may be used to remember certain settings or preferences between visits.

The actual duration depends on the individual cookie or technology. We aim to use appropriate retention periods for the purposes involved.

5. Third-Party Services and Cookies

Our online store may use services provided by third parties to support website hosting, payments, security, analytics, or other shopping features.

Third-party technologies may operate under the relevant provider’s own privacy and cookie terms. We aim to understand which services are active and explain their purposes appropriately.

The specific third parties used on our website may change as our store develops. We do not represent that any particular analytics or advertising service is active unless it is enabled on our store.
