COOKIE POLICY
Welcome to HOUSE OF GILT™’s cookie policy.
Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.
A cookie is a small text file which is placed onto your computer (or other electronic devices) when you access our website.
We use cookies on this website to:
recognise you whenever you visit this website (this speeds up your access to the website as you do not have to log in each time);
obtain information about your preferences, online movements and use of the internet;
carry out research and statistical analysis to help improve our content, products and services and to help us better understand our visitor requirements and interests;
target our marketing and advertising campaigns more effectively by providing interest-based advertisements that are personalised to your interests; and
make your online experience more efficient and enjoyable.
The information we obtain from our use of cookies will not usually contain your personal data. Although we may obtain information about your computer or other electronic devices such as your IP address, your browser and/or other internet log information, this will not usually identify you personally. In certain circumstances, we may collect personal information about you—but only where you voluntarily provide it (eg by completing an online form).
We use the following types of cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website.
Analytical or performance cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests.
Apart from the case of strictly necessary cookies, we will need your consent in order to use cookies on this website.
First and third party cookies
First party cookies are cookies set by our website. Third-party cookies are cookies on our website that are set by another website, such as where we have adverts on our website or use Facebook pixels so that we can show you relevant content from us when you are on Facebook.
