ZEEGRIJS — COOKIE POLICY
Website: www.zeegrijs.com
Effective Date: 25th August 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how ZEEGRIJS (“we,” “our,” “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on www.zeegrijs.com (the “Site”).
Because we operate an online store where each order is handcrafted and made to order, cookies are a practical necessity: they allow you to move smoothly between product pages and checkout, keep your cart intact, and ensure payments can be processed securely. They also give us insight into how visitors engage with our Site so we can improve functionality, design, and communication.
This Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains in greater detail how we collect, use, and protect personal data.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you browse a website. They are widely used by online services for technical and functional reasons, and they can also support analytics and advertising.
Cookies may be:
First-party cookies: placed by our Site directly.
Third-party cookies: set by service providers such as Squarespace (our hosting platform), Stripe and PayPal (our payment processors), or analytics platforms.
Session cookies: which expire once you close your browser.
Persistent cookies: which remain for a set period or until you delete them manually.
We also use comparable technologies (such as pixels and local storage) that function similarly to cookies.
3. How We Use Cookies
Cookies serve different purposes. We categorize them as follows:
Essential cookies – These are critical for our Site to function. Without them, checkout, secure login, and cart management will not work.
Performance and analytics cookies – These tell us which pages visitors view most, how they arrive at our Site, and where we can improve usability. Data collected is aggregated and anonymized.
Preference cookies – These remember your selected settings, such as region or language, to personalize your browsing experience.
Marketing cookies – Some third-party providers place cookies that help track the effectiveness of online campaigns and deliver more relevant ads. These are used sparingly and only with your consent where required.
4. Your Cookie Choices
Consent management: On your first visit, you will be prompted to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Essential cookies cannot be switched off because the Site cannot function without them.
Browser controls: Most browsers allow you to review, block, or delete cookies at any time. If you block essential cookies, some features (such as checkout) may not function correctly.
Withdrawal of consent: If you previously accepted non-essential cookies, you may withdraw consent by clearing your cookies or adjusting settings through your browser or device.
