This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and how Individually Gifted Crafts ("we", "us", or "our") uses them on our website. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy which explains how we protect your privacy and handle other personal information.

2. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

• First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting (i.e., by Individually Gifted Crafts).

• Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, usually when our website integrates services from other companies (e.g., social media buttons, analytics tools, and advertising networks).

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for various purposes on our website to enhance your Browse experience, analyse site traffic, and personalise content. The cookies we use generally fall into the following categories:

​

             Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies:

Purpose: These cookies are crucial for the website to function correctly. They enable core functionality like security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the website may not operate as intended.

 

Examples of purposes:

• Security: Protecting the website from fraud and abuse.

• User preferences: Remembering basic consent choices (e.g., your cookie preferences) or language selections.

• Performance: Ensuring the website loads and displays correctly.

• Session management: Keeping a user logged in or maintaining items in a shopping cart (if applicable).

 

           Functional Cookies:

Purpose: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for.

 

Examples of purposes:

• Enabling specific features: remembering form entries or enhancing user interaction (e.g., live chat functionality).

• Recalling specific settings: such as your chosen currency or customisation options.

 

        Analytics / Performance Cookies:

These are almost always third-party cookies.
