They may be used for:

shopping cart functionality;
checkout;
security;
fraud prevention;
account authentication;
payment processing;
remembering privacy choices; and

Without these cookies, parts of the website may not function correctly.

They may remember information such as:

selected country or region;
currency;

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website.

They may provide information such as:

which pages are visited;
how visitors navigate the website;
how long visitors spend on particular pages;
whether errors occur;
which products receive the most interest; and
how customers reach our website.

We use this information to understand website performance and improve the customer experience.

Where applicable, cookies and tracking technologies may be used to:

measure advertising performance;
understand whether advertisements lead to website visits or purchases;
create or measure audience segments;
personalise advertising;
limit how often you see certain advertisements; and
show advertising that may be more relevant to your interests.

These technologies may be provided by third-party advertising or social media platforms.

Where required by applicable law, these technologies will only be used after the appropriate notice, choice or consent has been provided.

5. SHOPIFY COOKIES

Our online store is powered by Shopify.

Shopify uses cookies and similar technologies to provide and secure ecommerce functionality.

These may include cookies used for:

maintaining shopping carts;
checkout;
account sessions;
fraud prevention;
localisation;
storing privacy preferences;
analytics; and
other store functionality.

The precise cookies used by Shopify may change as Shopify updates its platform.

Shopify maintains its own information about the cookies and tracking technologies used across Shopify-powered stores.

Some Shopify cookies are essential for the operation of our store and checkout.

6. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

Some cookies or tracking technologies may be placed or operated by third-party service providers that help us operate, understand or promote our business.

Depending on the services we use, these may include providers involved in:

ecommerce infrastructure;
analytics;
advertising;
social media;
payment processing;

customer support;
email marketing; and
website performance.

Third-party providers may receive information about your interactions with our website.

Depending on the technology involved, this may include:

IP address;
device information;
browser information;
page views;
product interactions;
purchase events;
advertising identifiers; and
cookie identifiers.

Third parties may process this information under their own privacy policies and terms.

7. TRACKING PIXELS

We may use third-party tracking pixels for analytics, advertising and marketing measurement.

A tracking pixel is a small piece of code embedded in a website that can transmit information about website activity to another service.

Depending on how a pixel is configured, information collected may include:

pages visited;
products viewed;
items added to cart;
purchases;
clicks;
timestamps;
device information; and
information associated with advertising campaigns.

We aim to configure tracking technologies so that only information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose is collected and shared.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide appropriate notice, choices or consent mechanisms for non-essential tracking.

8. ADVERTISING AND PERSONALISED MARKETING

We may work with advertising platforms to measure campaigns and, where permitted, show advertising based on website activity.

For example, if you view a product on our website, advertising technologies may help us measure whether you later:

return to our website;
purchase the product; or
interact with an advertisement on another platform.

Advertising providers may also use their own information about you in accordance with their respective privacy policies.

Where applicable law gives you the right to opt out of certain targeted advertising or data-sharing activities, we will provide an appropriate way to exercise that right.

Opting out of personalised advertising does not necessarily mean that you will stop seeing advertisements. It generally means the advertising may be less personalised to your browsing activity.

9. COOKIE AND PRIVACY PREFERENCES

Where available, you can manage certain cookie and tracking preferences through the privacy or cookie controls provided on our website.

Depending on your location and applicable law, these controls may allow you to:

accept cookies;
reject certain non-essential cookies;
manage analytics preferences;
manage advertising preferences; or
opt out of certain forms of data sharing.

Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are required for essential website functionality.

Your preferences may be stored in a cookie so that we can remember your selection.

If you delete your cookies, use another browser or use another device, you may need to set your preferences again.

10. MANAGING COOKIES THROUGH YOUR BROWSER

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

view existing cookies;
delete cookies;
block all cookies;
block third-party cookies;
prevent websites from storing new cookies; or
receive a warning before a cookie is stored.

Please note that blocking all cookies may affect website functionality.

For example, you may experience problems with:

maintaining your shopping cart;
signing into an account;
completing checkout;
remembering preferences; or
using other essential website features.

11. GLOBAL PRIVACY AND OPT-OUT SIGNALS

Certain browsers or extensions may allow users to send privacy preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC).

Where we are legally required to recognise such a signal, and where our technology supports it, we will handle the signal in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.

The availability and effect of these controls may depend on your location, browser and the services used on our website.

Some of this information may constitute personal information when it identifies you or can reasonably be linked to you.

Depending on the provider involved, processing may take place in countries including:

the United States;

Australia; and
other locations in which our service providers operate.

The duration of individual cookies may be determined by:

Scott and Daughters;
Shopify; or
the relevant third-party provider.

Cookies may also be removed earlier if you delete them through your browser or privacy settings.

15. CHILDREN

Our website is not specifically directed at children under the age of 16.

We do not knowingly use advertising or tracking technologies for the purpose of profiling children who we know are under 16.

If you believe information relating to a child has been collected inappropriately, please contact us.

The cookies and technologies used on our website may change over time as:

our website develops;
Shopify updates its platform;
we install or remove applications;
advertising or analytics providers change;
technology changes; or
legal requirements develop.

For this reason, the exact list of individual cookies used by the website may change without every technical change requiring a new version of this policy.

We will update this Cookie Policy where there is a material change to how we use cookies or tracking technologies.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time.

The latest version will be published on this page together with the date it was last updated.
