First… I'm sure you’re either fed up hearing about cookies or wondering what they are and why do i need to read about them on a pet boutique website? Good question. Let us explain it to you very quickly.
www.olliespetboutique.com or our sub sites (“Sites” or “Site”) uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our site. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our site and also allows us to improve our site.
When you visit our site for the first time you will see a 'Cookie Acceptance' popup along the bottom of your screen. At this point no cookies have been stored on your computer except for essential cookies described below. This popup will continue to show until you accept it or deny it. Once accepted all other cookies will be allowed to be stored on your computer as needed. You can change your cookie acceptance at any time by clicking the cookie icon in the bottom left of your screen and you can remove cookies by reading the 'How do I block cookies?' section below.
Do note that by denying non-essential cookies you will not be able to use certain features of our website and it may not function correctly for you.
Cookies...
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive.
We use the three groups of cookies that fall into two categories, Essential & Non-Essential:
Essential
Strictly necessary cookies: these are cookies that are required for the operation of our site and for it to work at all. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our site, choose currency or use a shopping basket.
Non-Essential
Analytical/performance cookies: these allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our site when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our site works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
Functionality cookies: these are used to recognise you when you return to our site. This enables us to personalise our content for you and remember any preferences (for example, your choice of language or to show/hide popup announcements).
You can find more information about the individual cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them in the tables below:
