Cookie Policy Effective Date: 01/01/2025
At Haro Eyewear, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we use cookies on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your rights to manage them.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to improve user experience, enable website functionality, and provide analytical information.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
• Essential Cookies: To enable essential functionalities, such as security, network management, and accessibility. These cannot be disabled, as they are crucial for the website to function and for your secure browsing.
• Performance Cookies: To collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website, such as the most visited pages and whether they encounter errors. This allows us to improve functionality and user experience. Disabling these cookies may affect our ability to optimise the website based on user behaviour.
• Functionality Cookies: To remember your preferences and choices (such as language, region, or items in your shopping basket), providing a more personalised experience. Disabling these may result in the loss of some personalisation and the need to reset preferences on each visit.
• Marketing Cookies: To deliver relevant adverts based on your browsing habits and interests. These cookies may be used by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show relevant adverts on other websites. Disabling these will not prevent adverts from being displayed, but they will be less personalised and relevant to you.
