Cookie Policy
Background
In order to optimize your user experience and our marketing initiatives, we use a variety of cookies on https://propercloth.com (the “Site”) and third-party sites. This page will explain what cookies we use and for what purpose, and provide instructions for you how you can opt-out of, or disable certain cookies.
1. Cookies used on our Site
The cookies we use on our website can be grouped into the following categories:
1.1 Essential cookies:
Some of the cookies on our Site are essential for us to provide you with a service you have requested. An example of this would be a cookie that enables you to log into your account on the website, or one which allows communication between your browser and the website. Our cookie-preference cookie, described in the section ‘How to reject or opt out of receiving cookies’, is also an essential cookie. You may not be able to use our website without these cookies.
1.2 Website functionality cookies
These cookies enable you to browse our website and use features such as the shopping cart and wishlist.
1.3 Website analytics cookies
We use these cookies to analyze how our customers use our Site. An example is counting the number of different people visiting our website or using a particular feature, rather than the total number of times the site or feature is used. This allows us to continuously improve our Site and your shopping experience.
1.4 Customer preference cookies:
When browsing or shopping online, our Site will remember preferences you make (for example your user name, language or location). This improves your experience and makes your browsing simpler, easier and more personal to you.
1.5 Social sharing cookies
We use cookies to allow you to share content directly on social networking/sharing sites like Instagram and Twitter. Examples would be if you wanted to 'like' or 'tweet' about a product advertised on our Site.
1.6 Interest-based advertising cookies
You will have noticed, when visiting other websites, that you are shown adverts for products and services you may wish to buy. The money made by website owners for showing third-party adverts on their websites often pays for the cost of running the website, and therefore often allows you to use the website without having to pay a registration or usage fee. Like many businesses, we place adverts for our services on a range of our partners' websites. However, to try and ensure that the adverts you see are relevant to you, we use cookies to collect information about the types of things that interest you, for example websites you visit and your geographic location. Having these cookies does not increase the number of adverts you will be shown, but simply makes the adverts you see more relevant. In addition, they limit the number of times you see an advertisement, as well as helping us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.
2. Advertising Cookies Used on Third Party Websites
We place advertisements on a number of third-party websites. We use cookies to control how often you are shown a particular advertisement on those websites, so you do not see the same advertisement too frequently. We do not collect any personal data within these cookies. To opt out of receiving these cookies, please refer to your browser settings as explained below.
3. How to Opt Out of Receiving Cookies
If you want to delete any cookies that are already on your computer, please refer to the help and support section on your internet browser for instructions on how to locate the file or directory that stores cookies.
Please note that our Site cannot always control third-party cookies stored on your machine from our Site and that setting your cookie preferences with us will not stop those third-party cookies from being stored on your machine. Therefore you must manage these cookies directly with the relevant third party. Please see our 'Third party cookies' section below for more information.
More information on deleting or controlling cookies is available at www.AboutCookies.org. Please note that by deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our site.
4. Third party cookies
Some of the cookies described above are stored on your machine by third parties when you use our Site. We have no control over these cookies or how the third parties use them. They are used to allow third parties to provide a service to us, for example analytics. For more information on these cookies and how to disable them, please see the individual third party's privacy policy listed below.
