What are cookies?
A cookie is a small amount of information that’s downloaded to your computer or device when you visit most websites.
At kittystales.com we use various cookies to improve your experience using our website and browsing our pages as well as aiding the functionality and marketing
performance of our website.
Without some cookies critical parts of our website such as the
shopping cart software allowing you to buy products would not function.
Cookies allow the website to remember such things as your actions and preferences for example login and what items you have added to your
cart. By performing this function the use of cookies means you don’t
have to repeat actions such as entering information each time you return
to our site or browse our pages.
Cookies also provide information on how people use the website, for
instance whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor. Read more about cookies (and other similar tracking technologies) and how we use the data collected through these technologies, in our Privacy Policy.
What cookies do we use and why?
Some cookies are necessary to allow you to browse our website. The
use of these cookies is essential for our website to work and to allow
you to use it's features and access secure areas such as the shopping
cart.
Functional Cookies
We use functional cookies to remember choices you’ve made or
information you’ve provided, such as your username, language, or the
region you are in. This allows us to tailor your website experience
specifically to your preferences.
For example, authentication cookies are functional cookies that are
used for the duration of a session (or persistent, if you agree to the
“remember me” function) to allow users to authenticate themselves on
subsequent visits or to gain access to authorized content across pages.
The functional cookies we use include:
Analytics Cookies
When you browse our website we want you to have the best user
experience possible so we use many tools to help us improve our website
and our shopping cart functionality.
To this end, we use reporting and analytics cookies to collect information about how you use our website and how often.
These cookies only gather information for statistical purposes and
only use pseudonymous cookie identifiers that do not directly identify
you. The performance cookies we use include:
Advertising Cookies
Advertising cookies are sometimes used on our website to tailor
marketing to you and your interests and provide you with a more
personalized service in the future.
These cookies remember that you visited our website and we may share
this information with third-parties, such as advertisers. Although these
cookies can track your device’s visits to our website and other sites,
they typically cannot personally identify you.
Without these cookies, the advertisements that you see may be less
relevant and interesting to you. Read more about how companies use
cookies to conduct targeted or re-targeted advertising here.
To improve our engagement and business presence on Social Media,
Social and Content cookies are placed by many social media plugins (for
example the Facebook ’like’ button), and other tools meant to provide or
improve the content on a website (for example services that allow the
playing of video files, or that create comments sections).
We may integrate these modules into our platform to improve the
experience of browsing and interacting with our website. Please note
that some of these third party services place cookies that are also used
for things like behavioural advertising, analytics, and/or market
research.
We use the Shopify e-commerce platform to power our website and shopping cart functionality.
