1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies help us provide a better browsing experience by remembering your actions and preferences over a period of time.

When you visit TEESKULL, our website sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it in a designated folder on your device. Each time your browser requests a page from our site, the cookie is sent back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and retrieve your stored preferences.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several important purposes on our website:

• Essential site functionality: Cookies are necessary for core features such as adding items to your cart, processing checkout, and maintaining your login session. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.
• Remembering your preferences: Cookies allow us to remember settings you have chosen, such as your preferred theme (light or dark mode), your language selection, and items you have recently viewed. This saves you from re-entering information every time you visit.
• Analytics and performance: We use analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors interact with our website, including which pages are visited most frequently and whether users encounter error messages. This data helps us improve the overall user experience.
• Targeted marketing: Marketing cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to your interests. They also limit the number of times you see an ad and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly required for the website to function. They enable core features such as cart management, login session handling, and security tokens. These cookies cannot be disabled as they are necessary for the site to operate. If you block essential cookies, certain parts of the website will not work correctly.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember your preferences and choices to enhance your experience. This includes storing your theme preference (light or dark mode), your language selection, and a list of recently viewed items. While these cookies improve usability, the site will still function without them, though some convenience features will be unavailable.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how you use our website, such as which pages you visit and how long you spend on each page. We use Google Analytics for this purpose, which places cookies including _ga, _gid, and _gat. This data is aggregated and anonymized, helping us understand overall usage patterns and improve the site experience for all visitors.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies track your activity across websites to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements. These cookies are used by services such as Facebook Pixel and Google Ads to deliver personalized ads and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. Disabling these cookies will not stop you from seeing ads, but the ads you see will be less relevant to your interests.
