This Cookie Policy explains how The Petite Cartel ("we," "us," "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website at www.thepetitecartel.com. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by us are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than us are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

2. Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons to make our website operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our online properties. Third parties serve cookies through our website for analytics, performance, and functionality.

The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are described below:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Without these cookies, services like shopping carts and e-billing cannot be provided.

• Performance and Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our website but are non-essential to its use. Without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos or personalisation) may become unavailable.

• Analytics and Customisation Cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customise our website for you. We use Squarespace Analytics, a service provided by Squarespace, to help us analyse how our website is used.

• Social Networking Cookies: These cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our website through third-party social networking and other websites.
