Cookie Policy

When you open a website, it can hand your browser a tiny text file to keep on whatever device you are using, be that a laptop, a tablet, or a phone. That file is a cookie. Sites everywhere depend on them: they keep features working, they smooth out repeat visits, and they let the people running the site learn how it is being used. Look inside one and you will normally see the domain that created it, an expiry period, and a value, which in most cases is just a random string used as an identifier.

A cookie cannot infect your device and holds nothing like your name or card number. What it does is give a site a short memory, so your earlier actions and choices are recognized for a while and you are not asked to type the same things in again as you move from page to page or come back later.

Cookies do a handful of jobs for Cossonno, and every one of them is aimed at making shopping with us less of a chore. In summary:

• Functionality: Some cookies are the glue behind the features you actually use: the cart that holds your picks, the login that recognizes account holders, and the checkout steps that turn a cart into an order. Remove them and those parts of the store break.
• Analytics: Others collect anonymous statistics on the way visitors move around. From that we learn which pages get the most attention, the paths people take through the site, and the spots where an improvement would help.
• Preferences: A further set simply remembers settings you have already chosen, like your language, your region, and how you want things displayed, so you are not asked to set them up all over again on your next visit.

The cookies used on cossonno.store come in a few distinct varieties. Below, each cookie is listed by name alongside the job it performs and the length of time it survives on your device.

Each of those belongs to one of four categories:

• Essential Cookies: The site simply cannot operate without these. The session, cart, and authentication cookies are the members of this group; block them and there is no way for us to keep a cart for you or sign you in securely.
• Analytics Cookies: These count page views, record where traffic came from, and total up visitor numbers so we can see how the store is used. Google Analytics handles that processing, and what reaches us is aggregated and anonymous.
• Functional Cookies: Choices you have made, a language or a region for example, are kept in this group so richer and more personal features can be offered. Tweaks to text size, fonts, and other adjustable parts of the site may be stored here as well.
• Marketing Cookies: These allow the advertising you see to line up with your interests, and they record conversions and engagement so we can tell whether a campaign worked.

Not every cookie on your device comes from us. Some outside companies we trust may write their own cookies while you use the store. They fall into these groups:

• Analytics Providers: Services such as Google Analytics build usage statistics for us. To do that, the provider sets its own cookies that log how you interact with our pages, and the reports it produces shape improvements to both content and speed.
• Payment Processors: During a purchase, the partners who process payments may place cookies to keep the transaction secure, detect fraud, and recall your payment preferences the next time you check out.
• Advertising Partners: The ad networks we use may store cookies so the advertising you encounter reflects your interests. The same cookies also let them limit how many times you see one ad and measure whether their campaigns paid off.

Cookies from these companies are theirs, not ours, and we have no control over them. If you want to know more about what each one does, their own privacy and cookie policies are the place to look.

Whether cookies land on your device is up to you. On your first visit our consent banner asks which categories you are happy with; essential cookies are always on, while analytics, functional, and marketing cookies wait for your say-so. You can revisit that decision at any time through the cookie settings link in the site footer, which reopens the banner so you can change your answer. Browsers also give you control: nearly all accept cookies out of the box, but their settings can be changed to refuse cookies outright or to warn you before one is saved. Here is where to look in the browsers most people use:

• Google Chrome: Head to Settings, choose Privacy and Security, then Cookies and other site data. The options let you shut out third-party cookies, refuse every cookie, or have cookies wiped whenever you close the browser.
• Mozilla Firefox: In Settings, pick Privacy & Security and look for Enhanced Tracking Protection. Selecting Standard, Strict, or Custom sets how cookies are dealt with.
• Safari: Under Preferences, open the Privacy tab. There you can refuse all cookies, stop cross-site tracking, or open the website data list to delete cookies from individual sites.
• Microsoft Edge: Go to Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies and site data. You can shut out third-party cookies, refuse every cookie, or have them cleared on close.

Cookie-management browser extensions and the privacy controls in your device's operating system offer further options. For interest-based advertising specifically, the industry opt-out pages run by the Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info and the Network Advertising Initiative at optout.networkadvertising.org let you withdraw from tailored ads served by their participating companies.

Refusing or switching off cookies can stop parts of the store from working the way they were built to. Among the consequences:

• Putting products in your cart, or getting through checkout, may not be possible.
• Your login may not carry over between visits, so you could have to sign in every time.
• Personal choices such as your language and display settings will not be remembered.
• A few interactive features and page elements may load incorrectly or not at all.

Essential cookies are the bare minimum the site needs to run. You are welcome to turn off the analytics, functional, and marketing groups, but expect a visit that is less convenient and less tailored to you as a result. Our suggestion is to leave essential cookies switched on so every feature stays within reach.

Many browsers can send a Do Not Track (DNT) signal, a message to each site you visit saying you would rather not be tracked. Cossonno listens to that signal. If your browser has DNT switched on when you arrive, we turn off the non-essential tracking cookies, analytics and marketing included, for the length of your visit.

Essential cookies are the exception: they stay active with DNT on because the site cannot function without them. They do not follow you to other websites; their only job is delivering core services such as the shopping cart and your account.

Our practices, the technology we use, and the law all change over time, and this Cookie Policy will be updated to keep pace. Each new version shows a fresh "Last Updated" date at the top of the page, so checking back here occasionally is a good way to stay current on how cookies are used.

Should a change materially alter your rights or the way your data is handled, we will place a prominent notice on the site or contact you by email before it comes into force.
