2. Types of Cookies We Use

2.1 By Purpose

• Essential Cookies (Necessary Cookies): These Cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to function properly and provide you with basic services, such as navigating the Website, accessing secure areas (e.g., your account, checkout page for craft ornaments), and processing your orders. Without these Cookies, the Website cannot operate as intended, and we cannot provide you with the services you request. These Cookies do not require your consent and are enabled by default, as they are essential for the Website’s core functionality.
• Functional Cookies: These Cookies allow the Website to remember your preferences and settings to enhance your browsing experience. For example, they may remember your preferred language, currency (relevant for purchasing craft ornaments internationally), and your shopping cart contents between visits. They also help us remember your past interactions with the Website, such as previously viewed craft ornaments, to provide a more personalized experience. These Cookies are not essential but improve the usability of the Website, and you can disable them (though this may affect your experience).
• Analytical/Performance Cookies: These Cookies collect information about how you use the Website, such as which pages you visit most frequently, how long you spend on each page, and whether you encounter any errors. We use this information to analyze and improve the Website’s performance, optimize the layout and content (e.g., showcasing popular craft ornaments more prominently), and ensure the Website is user-friendly. The data collected by these Cookies is aggregated and anonymous, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally.
• Marketing/Targeting Cookies: These Cookies are used to deliver personalized marketing content and advertisements related to our craft ornaments, both on our Website and on third-party websites. They help us understand your interests (based on your browsing behavior, such as the types of craft ornaments you view or purchase) and tailor our marketing efforts to your preferences. They may also be used to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. These Cookies are non-essential, and you can disable them if you do not wish to receive personalized marketing.

2.2 By Duration

• Session Cookies: These Cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session on the Website (e.g., keeping you logged in during your visit, remembering your shopping cart during a single browsing session for craft ornaments) and are essential for the Website’s immediate functionality.
• Persistent Cookies: These Cookies remain on your device for a longer period (as specified by the Cookie’s settings, usually ranging from a few days to several years) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits to the Website, such as your language preference or past interactions with our craft ornament products.

We only allow trusted third parties to set Cookies on our Website, and we ensure that these third parties comply with applicable data protection laws, including GDPR.
