WHAT ARE COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES?

A cookie is a small data file, often including a unique identifier, which is sent to your computer, mobile phone, or tablet device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so the Website can remember some information about your browsing activity. The cookie will collect information relating to your use of our Website, information about your device (e.g., the device’s IP address and browser type), broad location, and, if you arrived at our site via a link from a third-party site, the URL of the linking page. Since our Website does not require registration or subscriptions, it does not collect your name or email address unless you contact us directly.

Similar technologies known as “local storage” may also be used on our Website as an alternative to cookies. This technology is similar to cookies and performs very similar functions, such as caching data to enable us to improve our Website, tracking activity to enable us and our advertisers to advertise to you in accordance with this policy, and counting the number of people who view ads. Where we refer to “cookies” in this policy, we mean cookies or similar technologies.

Cookies record information about your online preferences and help us tailor our Website to your interests. Information provided by cookies can help us analyze your use of our Website and provide you with a better user experience.

In addition to cookies, our Website may also use web beacons, clear GIFs, page tags, and web bugs. These are all types of technology implemented by websites or third-party ad servers to allow them to analyze your Website use and help improve your experience.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COOKIES?

  • Session cookies are only stored for the duration of your visit to a website and are deleted from your device when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies are saved on your device for a set period of time after the browser has closed and are used where we (or a third party) need to identify you for a later browsing session.
  • First-party cookies are set by the Website you are visiting.
  • Third-party cookies are cookies used within our Website which are set by other organizations. These include cookies from external analytics services which help us understand the use of our site, or by advertisers so they can track the effectiveness of their advertisements.

WHAT ARE COOKIES USED FOR?

We, together with our trusted partners, use cookies for a number of purposes, including the following:

  • Essential or ‘Strictly Necessary’ Cookies: These cookies are essential for the running of our Website. Without these cookies, parts of our Website would not function. These cookies do not track where you have been on the internet, do not remember preferences beyond your current visit, and do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing purposes. These cookies are usually session cookies which will expire when you close your browsing session.
  • Functional Cookies: Functional cookies are essential to the running of our Website. They are used to remember your preferences and provide enhanced, more personal features. The information collected by these cookies is usually anonymized, so we cannot identify you personally. Functional cookies do not track your internet usage or gather information which could be used for selling advertising, but they do help with serving advertising. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our Website.
  • Analytical Performance and Measurement Cookies: Analytical performance cookies are used to monitor the performance of our Website, for example, to determine the number of page views and the number of unique users. Web analytics services may be designed and operated by third parties. The information provided by these cookies allows us to analyze patterns of user behavior and use that information to enhance user experience or identify areas of the Website which may require maintenance. The information is anonymous (i.e., it cannot be used to identify you and does not contain personal information such as your name and email address) and is only used for statistical purposes.
  • Targeting or ‘Behavioural Advertising’ Cookies: These cookies, which may be placed on your device by us or our trusted third-party service providers, remember that you have visited a website and use that information to provide you with content or advertising tailored to your interests. This is often called online behavioral advertising (OBA) and is done by grouping together shared interests based upon web browsing history. Your web browsing history can be used to infer things about you (e.g., your age, gender, etc.), and this information may also be used to make advertising on websites more relevant to you. Without these cookies, content and advertisements you encounter may be less relevant to you and your interests.

HOW DOES https://weddingdressalterationsforyou.com/ USE COOKIES?

We, together with our trusted partners, use cookies for a number of purposes, including the following:

Essential and Functional Cookies

We use these cookies to enable certain online functionality, including:

  • Remembering the last page you visited on the Website;
  • Identifying returning users and allowing them to be presented with a personalized version of the site;
  • Supporting security measures and assisting in identifying possible fraudulent or abusive activities.

If you object to the use of essential and functional cookies, please see “How can users manage or opt-out of cookies?” below.

Analytical Performance and Measurement Cookies

We use these cookies to measure users’ behavior to better develop our Website. By using analytics services provided by third parties such as Google Analytics, we can analyze and measure which pages are viewed, how long for, and which links are followed, and we can use this information to provide more content which is of interest. The data collected will generally be aggregated to provide trends and usage patterns for business analysis, site improvement, and performance metrics, and to inform our advertising strategies. Our cookies, or the resulting analysis, can also be shared with our business partners.

If you object to the use of analytical performance and measurement cookies, please see “How can users manage or opt-out of cookies?” below.

Targeting or ‘Behavioural Advertising’ Cookies

We use these cookies to:

  • Deliver content and marketing communications tailored to your interests based on information from your visit;
  • Manage online advertising and revenue share arrangements. Our approved advertising partners use cookies together with web beacons to provide advertising to you and to enable us to manage our relationship with those advertisers by, for example, tracking how many unique users have seen a particular advertisement or followed a link in an advertisement;
  • Measure general user behavior across our site and third-party sites to build a profile based on users’ browsing patterns so that we and third parties can target advertising to users that will be more relevant to their interests. For example, if users visit a page listing a specific shop, the cookie will collect this information, and we or third parties may target ads related to that shop;
  • Display relevant advertising to you on other sites based on your web search activity;
  • Keep track of the number of users who saw a particular ad or visited a particular page of our Website, analyze the effectiveness of our ads, and provide auditing, research, and reporting for advertisers.

The trusted partners we work with in relation to targeting and behavioral advertising include third-party ad servers, ad agencies, technology vendors, providers of advertisement content, research firms, and other companies that help us provide more effective advertising and offer you a more personalized experience. As your browser communicates with the third party’s servers, these companies can collect information, including your IP address, page header information, and browser or device information, just as if you had requested their web page directly.

We cannot control nor do we have access to any cookies placed on your computer by third-party advertisers and sponsors.

If you object to the use of targeting and behavioral advertising cookies, please see “How can users manage or opt-out of cookies?” below.

Other Third-Party Cookies

You may notice on some pages of our Website that cookies have been set that are not directly related to us. When you visit a page with content embedded from a third-party service provider such as YouTube, for example, they may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control the use of these third-party cookies and cannot access them due to the way cookies work, as cookies can only be accessed by the party who originally set them. Please check the third-party websites for more information about these cookies.

HOW CAN USERS MANAGE OR OPT-OUT OF COOKIES?

Some people find the idea of a website storing information on their device a little intrusive, particularly when the information is stored and used by a third party. For example, you may object to being served advertising targeted to your interests based on your browsing history. If you would prefer to opt out of cookies, it is possible to control cookies by following the steps below; however, you should be aware that you might lose some features and functionality of the Website if you do so.

Cookies, including those which have already been set, can be deleted from your hard drive. You can also change the preferences/settings in your web browser to control cookies.
