COOKIE POLICY

Wristbuddys is an online store selling high quality watch straps and watch accessories. We are based in Stockholm, Sweden and we sell our products worldwide.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes in more detail how we handle personal data.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve performance, and to provide information to the site owner.

In this policy we use the word "cookies" to also cover similar technologies such as pixels, tags, local storage, and software development kits that perform comparable functions.

Cookies can be set by us directly (first party cookies) or by third parties whose services we use on the Site (third party cookies). Cookies can also be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

We use cookies for several reasons:

• To make the Site function and to allow you to add products to your cart and complete a purchase
• To remember your preferences, such as language, region, and currency
• To understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it
• To measure the performance of our marketing and to show relevant advertising.The cookies we use fall into the categories described below.

The cookies we use fall into the categories described below.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They enable core features such as security, network management, shopping cart functionality, and the checkout process. Our store and checkout run on Shopify, which sets cookies that are essential to providing the service. Without these cookies the Site cannot work properly. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent.

Functional cookies

These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make and to provide enhanced features. For example, they remember your selected language, region, and currency, and they support features such as the wishlist. If you do not allow these cookies, some parts of the Site may not work as intended.

Analytics and performance cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting information such as which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and whether they encounter errors. We use this information to improve how the Site works and to measure the effectiveness of our content. For these purposes we use tools that may include Shopify analytics, Google Analytics, and Triple Whale. The information collected is used in aggregated form to analyse trends and behaviour.

Marketing and advertising cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertising that is relevant to you and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. They track your activity across our Site and, in some cases, across other websites, and they help us reach you with relevant offers on third party platforms. For these purposes we use services that may include the Meta Pixel and the Meta Conversions API, Google Ads, and Klaviyo. Shop Pay and other accelerated checkout providers may also set cookies to enable faster checkout and to remember your details.

Third party cookies

Some cookies are placed by third parties that provide services on our behalf. These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your activity on the Site and on other websites over time. We do not control the cookies set by these third parties, and their use of cookies is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies. The third parties whose services we use include, among others, Shopify, Google, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Klaviyo, and Triple Whale.

How we manage consent

When you first visit the Site, you are presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non essential cookies. We use Shopify's built in consent management to record and respect your choices. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the Site cannot function without them. Analytics, functional, and marketing cookies are only used where you have given your consent, where consent is required.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences through the banner or the cookie settings available on the Site.

How to control cookies through your browser

In addition to our consent banner, you can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, and receive a warning before a cookie is stored. The steps differ between browsers, so please refer to your browser's help section for instructions.

Please note that if you block or delete certain cookies, some features of the Site may no longer work correctly, and your experience may be affected.

You can find more information about cookies and how to manage them at www.allaboutcookies.org.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use, in legal requirements, or in our business. When we make changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
