COOKIE POLICY
WINTHELUXE LTD, Cookies and similar technologies
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember preferences, operate securely and measure how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, tags and software development kits (collectively referred to here as « cookies »).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
3. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take such as logging in, setting privacy preferences, filling in forms or completing a purchase. If you disable these cookies, parts of the Website will not work correctly.
Examples include: session cookies maintaining your login, cart cookies preserving your selected entries before checkout, security cookies for CSRF protection, and cookies required by our payment provider Stripe.
Legal basis: Legitimate interests and contractual necessity. No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies.
4. Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to improve the Website, fix issues and measure the effectiveness of our content.
Providers used may include Google Analytics 4, PostHog, Microsoft Clarity and similar products. Data is aggregated and, where possible, anonymised.
Legal basis: Consent. You may accept or decline analytics cookies through our cookie banner.
5. Marketing And Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to build a profile of your interests, show you relevant advertising on other websites and measure the performance of our advertising campaigns. They include pixels from Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok, Google Ads, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Pinterest and similar platforms.
These cookies may be used to create audience segments such as « visitors who started an entry but did not complete it » for retargeting purposes.
Legal basis: Consent. You may accept or decline marketing cookies through our cookie banner.
6. Preference Cookies
These cookies remember your choices (such as language, currency or region) to provide a more personalised experience.
Legal basis: Consent.
7. How To Manage Cookies
When you first visit the Website, a cookie banner invites you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies or customise your preferences by category. You can change your choices at any time by clicking the « Cookie Preferences » link in the Website footer.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that if you block all cookies, the Website may not function correctly.
To opt out of Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
To opt out of personalised advertising more broadly, visit the Your Online Choices tool at www.youronlinechoices.com or the Digital Advertising Alliance tool at www.aboutads.info/choices.
8. Cookie Duration
Cookies are either session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored for a defined period). The duration of each cookie used is detailed in the cookie banner and our cookie table published at https://wintheluxe.com/cookies.
No cookie we set is retained for longer than 13 months without a fresh consent request, in line with ICO guidance.
9. Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit a Do Not Track (DNT) signal. At present, there is no common industry or legal standard on how DNT signals should be interpreted. We therefore do not respond to DNT signals. You can manage your preferences through our cookie banner instead.
10. Changes To This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or applicable law. The latest version is always available at https://wintheluxe.com/cookie-policy with the last updated date shown at the top.
