Cookie Policy

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.  Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. 

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before we place any cookies on your device that are not strictly necessary for the functioning of our Websites.

Cookies set by the website owner Jacqueline & Edward Ltd are called “first party cookies”.  Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”.  Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics).  The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites. 

Why do we use cookies?

We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Our first party cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other first and third party cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Websites.  Third parties also serve cookies through our Websites for advertising, analytics and other purposes.  This is described in more detail below.

The types of first and third party cookies served through our Websites and the purposes they perform are described below. Please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Website you visit. You can find details of the particular cookies that are served on each Website, and of any parties serving third party cookies, on the Cookie Preference Center on the Website banner. We encourage you to interact with different categories of cookies and adjust your preferences. Visitors without access to this functionality can use their browser settings to control how cookies are set on their devices. However, blocking some types of cookies may impact your experience of the Websites and impair the services we are able to offer. You can find more detailed information about how to control cookies later in this policy.

We use cookies on this site in four main ways:

  • “Strictly necessary” cookies, which are first party cookies that must be set to allow us to deliver the Website to you and to provide specific services that you request from us. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms.  The services offered by our Websites that require cookies in order to function include: account log-in, shopping basket/online store, billing and comments/blog features.
  • “Performance” cookies, which are first party cookies that help us to collect information about how visitors use our Websites and helps us with site analysis and improvements.  Performance cookies will remain on your computer after you close your browser. We use all information collected by these cookies in aggregated form, rather than linking it to individual Website users. Where permitted by applicable law, we will deploy first party performance cookies automatically when you visit our Websites. If you opt out of, or do not allow, these cookies (as applicable), we will not know when you have visited our Websites and will not be able to monitor its performance.
  • “Functionality” cookies, which allow our Websites to remember your choices or preferences, such as information on online forms or previous orders. These cookies enable you to move around our Websites and use its features such as accessing secure areas (e.g. content for registered users).These cookies allow us to offer you a personalized experience while using the Website. They are not used to track your browsing activity on other websites. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. The information gained through the use of functional cookies is anonymous and is not used for any other purpose. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
  • “Targeting” cookies, which are third party cookies set through our Websites by our advertising partners. They are used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other websites.  They do not directly store personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will still experience advertising but it will be less targeted to you.
