Cookie Policy

1.About Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and improve your overall experience. Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage are used for comparable purposes; in this policy, "cookies" refers to all such technologies.

Cookies may be set by Merch.com (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that we use to operate our websites (third-party cookies). Cookies may persist for the duration of your browsing session (session cookies) or remain on your device for a set period (persistent cookies).

2.How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

1. Site Operation: To enable core functionality such as page navigation, secure access to your account, and the ability to add items to a shopping cart or save preferences.
2. Security: To detect and prevent fraudulent activity, protect against unauthorized access, and maintain the integrity of our platform.
3. Analytics: To understand how visitors use our websites so we can improve content, performance, and user experience.
4. Preferences: To remember your settings (such as language or region) and personalize your experience on return visits.

3.Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential to the operation of our websites. They enable you to navigate our sites, use secure areas, and complete actions such as logging in or placing an order. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through our preference controls.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies record your choices and settings so that we can personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region) across sessions.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to improve site performance and user experience.

3.4 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to enable activities such as maintaining your shopping cart during a single visit.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and recognize you on return visits.

4.Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our websites are set by third-party services we use, such as analytics providers and content delivery networks. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which govern their use of cookies. We do not control these cookies and recommend you review the relevant third-party policies for more information.

5.Managing Your Preferences

Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences. You can:

1. Delete cookies that are already on your device.
2. Block all cookies, or block cookies from specific sites.
3. Receive a warning before a cookie is stored on your device.

For instructions on managing cookies in popular browsers, please consult your browser's help documentation.

6.Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal that communicates your preference about tracking across websites. Because there is no industry-wide standard for honoring DNT signals, our websites do not currently respond to them. We do, however, limit our use of cookies to the purposes described in this policy and do not engage in behavioral profiling.

7.Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
