It explains what these technologies are, why they may be used, the main categories involved, and the choices available to you.

This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. SCOPE OF THIS COOKIES POLICY

This Cookies Policy applies to cookies and similar technologies used in connection with:

The precise cookies and similar technologies used may vary depending on the part of the Website you visit, the functionality you use, and your consent choices where consent is required.

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES?

Cookies are small data files stored on or accessed from your device when you visit a website.

They can help a website function correctly, maintain a session, remember information, provide security features, or collect information about how the website is used.

Cookies may be:

  • session cookies, which normally expire when the browser session ends; or
  • persistent cookies, which remain on the device for a defined period or until they are deleted.

Websites may also use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies, such as local storage, pixels, tags, or comparable browser and device technologies.

References to “cookies” in this Policy include similar technologies where appropriate.

3. WHY WE USE COOKIES

ColorVanta may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • operate essential Website and Store functions;
  • maintain shopping-cart, checkout, account, and login functions;
  • support security and fraud-prevention measures;
  • remember preferences where applicable;
  • understand how the Website is used;
  • measure Website performance;
  • identify and diagnose technical issues;
  • improve Website functionality and user experience.

The use of particular cookies depends on the functionality of the Website and, where required by law, on your consent choices.

4. CATEGORIES OF COOKIES WE USE

4.1 STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES

Strictly necessary cookies support functions required for the Website and Stores to operate or for a service specifically requested by the user.

They may be used for purposes such as:

  • shopping-cart and checkout functionality;
  • account login and session management;
  • security and fraud prevention;
  • maintaining essential Website settings;
  • recording cookie-consent choices.

Where applicable law permits, these cookies may be used without consent because they are necessary to provide the relevant functionality or service.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies through your browser may prevent parts of the Website or Stores from working correctly.

4.2 FUNCTIONALITY AND PREFERENCE COOKIES

Functionality and preference cookies may help remember choices or settings so that the Website can provide a more convenient or consistent experience.

Depending on the Website configuration, these may relate to preferences such as region, language, or other user-selected settings.

Where consent is required by applicable law, these cookies are used only after the necessary consent has been obtained.

4.3 ANALYTICS AND PERFORMANCE COOKIES

Analytics and performance cookies may help us understand how visitors use the Website and how the Website performs.

The information generated may be used to:

  • measure visits and Website usage;
  • understand which pages or content are used;
  • identify technical or performance issues;
  • improve Website structure, functionality, and user experience.

ColorVanta may use analytics services such as Google Analytics.

Where consent is required by applicable law, analytics and performance cookies or similar technologies are used only after the necessary consent has been obtained.

5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Some Website functions are provided with the assistance of third-party services.

Depending on the service and your choices, third parties may place or access cookies or use similar technologies in connection with services they provide.

These providers may include, for example:

  • analytics providers;
  • payment providers;
  • Website infrastructure or security providers;
  • other technical service providers involved in operating the Website or Stores.

Some third parties may process information under their own privacy or cookie policies and may act as independent controllers for particular processing activities.

For more information about how personal data may be shared with service providers, please see our Privacy Policy.

Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies and similar technologies are used only after the required consent has been obtained.

When cookie-consent choices are presented, you may choose whether to accept or decline the available categories of non-essential cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies are treated separately because they support functions required for the Website or a service requested by the user.

Where processing depends on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

The Website may provide controls for managing cookie preferences. You may also use browser controls to block or delete cookies, as described in Section 7.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

7. BROWSER CONTROLS

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

  • view stored cookies;
  • delete individual or all cookies;
  • block cookies from particular websites;
  • block third-party cookies;
  • restrict or block cookies more generally.

The available options and terminology vary between browsers.

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect Website functionality. In particular, blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent shopping-cart, checkout, account, login, security, or other essential functions from working correctly.

For instructions specific to your browser, refer to the browser’s help or settings documentation.

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and configuration.

Some cookies are session cookies and normally expire when the browser session ends.

Other cookies are persistent and remain for a defined period unless they are deleted earlier.

Cookies used by third-party services may have retention periods determined by the relevant provider.

Where available, more specific information about individual cookies and their duration may be provided through the Website’s cookie-consent or cookie-management tools.

Personal data obtained through cookies or similar technologies is retained in accordance with the purposes, legal bases, and retention principles described in our Privacy Policy.

9. PERSONAL DATA AND THE PRIVACY POLICY

Information collected through cookies or similar technologies may constitute personal data where it relates to an identified or identifiable individual.

Where personal data is processed, the processing is governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains:

  • the categories of personal data we process;
  • why and how we use personal data;
  • the legal bases for processing;
  • service providers and data sharing;
  • international data transfers;
  • data retention and security;
  • your privacy rights and how to exercise them.

This Cookies Policy focuses specifically on cookies and similar technologies and should be read together with the Privacy Policy.

10. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIES POLICY
