COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIESUpdated 14 days ago

What are Cookies

Cookies are bits of electronic information that assign a unique identification to your computer that a website may transfer to your computer to identify specific information about your visits to the website. Cookies are typically stored on your computer’s hard drive and are used to help track clicks as you go through the pages within our Website. We may also use cookies to tell us whether you have previously visited the Website. We also use cookies that may be set by third parties with whom we have entered into agreements, which may enable us to obtain analytics information about the use of our Website.

How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies such as web beacons, clear-GIFs, pixel tags, server logs, widgets, and JavaScript on our Website and our services for a variety of purposes. We use “first-party” cookies to allow your browser to talk to the actual Website that you are visiting to improve your site experience, to distinguish you from other users of our Website (e.g., to preserve the contents of your virtual shopping bag between visits), to gauge content usage, and to support the marketing of our Website and products. These cookies may store information about you and your use of our Website. We also work with third-party vendors that help us track, collect, and analyze this information. These third-party providers may also place cookies onto your computer, known as “third-party” cookies, such as the source of an ad that appears on the website you are visiting or a third-party analytics provider. Those third-party cookies may enable us to obtain aggregate demographic information and user statistics about you and your preferences from these third-party sources as well as our information we have about you. You can change your preferences as described below.

How to Adjust Your Cookie Settings

To adjust your preferences or exercise control over cookies and other technologies used on our Website (other than strictly necessary cookies),

You can also opt-out of each cookie category (except strictly necessary cookies) by changing your cookie consent settings in your browser or by setting your browser to notify you when you are sent a cookie. You may also remove cookies after they have been placed onto your computer. Please note that changing your cookie preferences in one browser will not necessarily carry over to other browsers, nor may it carry over between your devices, so you may need to adjust your preferences each time you use a new device, install a new browser, upgrade an existing browser, or alter or delete a browser’s cookie file. However, changing your cookie settings may affect your user experience on the Website (e.g., turning off or refusing cookies may prevent you from making purchases on the Website). You can find more information about cookies at http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

You may disable cookies as discussed above, but that may impact your use and enjoyment of the Site.

Analytics

The Website uses third-party analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect and process data about your use of the Website, including when you visit the Website, URLs of the websites that you visit prior to visiting the Website and when you visit those websites, and IP addresses assigned to the devices from where you access the Internet. Our analytics providers may set and read cookies to collect this data and your web browser will automatically send data collected by those cookies to our analytics providers. Our analytics providers use this data to provide us with reports that we will use to improve the Website’s structure and content.

For more information on how Google uses this data, visit Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s page on How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps. To prevent this data from being used by Google Analytics, follow the instructions to download and install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each browser you use. Using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on will not prevent Kurt Geiger Canada from using other analytics tools and will not prevent data from being sent to the Site itself or to Google. For more information about how Google Analytics uses cookies to measure user interactions on websites, visit Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Websites.

Interest-based Advertising

We work with third parties such as ad networks and other advertising companies that use their own tracking technologies (including cookies, web beacons and pixel tags) on our Website in order to provide you with tailored advertisements across the Internet. This is a common marketing practice referred to as interest-based or online behavioral advertising. These companies may collect information about your activity on our Website and third-party websites (such as web pages you visit and your interaction with our advertising and other communications) and use this information to build a profile of your interests, make predictions about your preferences, develop personalized content and deliver ads that are more relevant to you on third-party websites. This information may also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of our online advertising campaigns.

For example, we use third parties, such as Google Ads and Google Analytics advertising features on our Website, to provide you with tailored advertisements across the Internet. Through Google Ads, Google uses your Internet searches, cookies, and similar identifiers (e.g., pixel tags) to collect information about your visits to the Website and your interaction with our products and services to generate targeted advertisements to you on other websites that you visit across the Internet. We may also enable and implement Google Analytics advertising features on the Website.

Opting-Out of Interest-Based Advertising

To adjust your preferences or exercise control over the third parties who collect data on our Website for interest-based advertising purposes,

For more information about interest-based advertising and to understand your options, including how you can opt-out of receiving behavioural ads from third-party advertising companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada, please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada website at http://youradchoices.ca/choices.

In addition, you may also opt out of remarketing advertising provided through Google. To customize your ad preferences, or to limit Google’s collection or use this information, visit Google's Safety Center and Google’s Ad Settings and follow Google’s personalized ad opt-out instructions. Opting out will not affect your use of the Website.

  • Please note that even if you opt-out of interest-based advertising by a third-party, these tracking technologies may still collect data for other purposes, including analytics, and you will still see ads from us, but the ads will not be targeted based on behavioural information about you and may therefore be less relevant to you and your interests.

  • To successfully opt out, you must have cookies enabled in your web browser (see your browser’s instructions for information on cookies and how to enable them). Your opt-out only applies to the web browser you use so you must opt-out of each web browser on each computer you use. Once you opt out, if you delete your browser’s saved cookies, you will need to opt-out again.
