Cookie Policy
Nora & Elise ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website to ensure that it functions properly, to improve your browsing experience, and, where you have given your consent, to analyse website traffic and support our marketing activities.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They help websites recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences or past actions.
Cookies may be:
- session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser; or
- persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until deleted.
We may also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, scripts, SDKs, and local storage technologies for similar purposes.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- operate, maintain, and secure our website;
- enable essential website functionality, including checkout and shopping cart features;
- remember your preferences and settings;
- understand how visitors use our website;
- improve website performance, usability, and customer experience; and
- where you have given consent, support analytics, advertising, and remarketing activities.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We may use the following categories of cookies on our website:
a. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as:
- navigating the website;
- using the shopping cart;
- completing checkout;
- remembering privacy choices;
- maintaining website security; and
- helping with fraud prevention.
These cookies do not require your consent where they are strictly necessary for the provision of our website or services you request.
b. Functional Cookies
These cookies help us provide enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering certain preferences you make while using the website.
If these cookies are disabled, some features may not function properly.
c. Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information such as:
- pages visited;
- time spent on pages;
- clicks and browsing patterns;
- referring websites;
- device and browser type; and
- general website usage data.
We only use analytics cookies where required consent has been obtained.
d. Marketing and Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be used to track your browsing behaviour on our website and, in some cases, across other websites. They may help us and our partners to:
- show you more relevant advertising;
- measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns;
- limit the frequency of advertisements; and
- support remarketing or retargeting activities.
We only use marketing and advertising cookies where you have given your consent.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies and similar technologies may be placed by third-party service providers that support our website and business operations.
These may include providers involved in:
- ecommerce platform services;
- website hosting;
- analytics;
- payment processing;
- advertising and social media integrations; and
- website performance and security monitoring.
Where third-party cookies are used, those third parties may collect information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend that you review the relevant third-party policies for further information.
5. Shopify and Related Ecommerce Technologies
Our store may operate using Shopify and related ecommerce technologies. As a result, certain cookies may be placed automatically to support essential website and checkout functions, including:
- shopping cart and checkout functionality;
- remembering session information;
- fraud prevention and security;
- store performance; and
- limited reporting and diagnostics.
Where Shopify or related technologies place non-essential cookies, these will be subject to your cookie preferences where required by applicable law.
6. Cookie Consent and Preference Management
When you first visit our website, you may be presented with a cookie banner or consent management tool that allows you to:
- accept all cookies;
- reject non-essential cookies; or
- manage your cookie preferences by category.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent and may still be used even if you reject non-essential cookies.
You may change or withdraw your consent at any time through our cookie settings tool, where available.
7. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- see what cookies are stored on your device;
- delete existing cookies;
- block cookies from specific websites;
- block all cookies; and
- receive notifications before cookies are placed.
Please note that blocking or disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality and performance of our website. In particular, parts of the website such as the shopping cart, checkout, and account-related features may not work properly.
8. Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. As there is currently no universally recognised standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, our website may not respond to such signals in all cases.
You can still manage your cookie preferences using our cookie banner, consent tool, or browser settings.
9. Information Collected Through Cookies
Depending on the type of cookie used, information collected through cookies and similar technologies may include:
- IP address;
- browser type and version;
- device type;
- operating system;
- language preferences;
- referring URLs;
- pages viewed;
- time spent on pages;
- on-site interactions; and
- interactions with content, advertisements, or product pages.
Where permitted by law, this information may be linked with other information we hold about you, as further described in our Privacy Policy.
10. Lawful Use of Cookies
We use strictly necessary cookies where needed to operate our website and provide requested services.
We use non-essential cookies, including analytics and marketing cookies, only where we have a valid legal basis to do so, which will normally be your consent.
11. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business, technology, legal requirements, or the cookies we use.
Any changes will be posted on this page together with the updated effective date. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy regularly.
