Use of Cookies

The KnitNStyle.com Web site use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

What “cookies” are

A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to a browser from a web server and gets saved on the hard drive of the computer that you are using (in the browser folders). Cookies collect standard information from your browser such as

  • browser type
  • browser language
  • the website address you came from when you visited our website.
  • They may also collect information about
  • your Internet Protocol (IP) address
  • your clickstream behavior – this might include
  • the pages you view
  • the links you click
  • the date and time of your visit or request
  • Cookies may uniquely identify your browser or your account, but they do not necessarily identify you personally. Cookies can also be used to help store personal information, for example where you ask us to “remember” you or keep you logged in.

There are session cookies and persistent cookies.

Session cookies only last during your session on a website – when you close your browser to end a session, the cookies end as well.
Persistent cookies last longer, and are used to remember things over time, such as your language preference or that you are a unique user who is returning to a website.
To learn more about cookies and other automatic data collection tools, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

Types of cookies

We use what you can think of as three different types of cookies:

Strictly necessary

When you request a service or action through our websites or applications, these cookies are strictly necessary to:

  • enable services (for example by letting you stay logged in)
  • provide information that you requested
  • allow you to use essential features

Why cookies are useful

Cookies help us remember information that makes your experience faster and more useful to you … even if we don’t know exactly who you are.

Here are a few examples of how cookies can make your experience better. The application or website you use:

  • remembers your language choice
  • keeps stuff in your shopping cart
  • shows you content that will be more likely to be useful and interesting to you
  • makes the “remember me” option work
  • helps you log in

Cookies are useful for us, too. They can let us know things like:

  • how many unique visitors visit our websites
  • whether someone is a new or repeat visitor
  • which area or content on a particular website was most viewed or downloaded

Who sets cookies

We and our service providers (acting on our behalf) set cookies.

Third parties may also set cookies that we do not control. For example, when you make purchases, our ecommerce vendors may use cookies. You can review our ecommerce vendor’s privacy policy and terms of sale at checkout to understand their practices and your choices.

In addition, we may work with one or more advertising networks (each an Ad Partner) who use cookies to facilitate interest-based advertising on third party websites. This interest-based advertising may include the remarketing of our products and services that you have viewed on our websites through ads on third party websites.

As a reminder, this privacy statement (including this cookie policy) does not apply to third party practices.

Opt-out of specific cookies

When we send you emails, they might include a web beacon or similar technology that lets us know if you received or opened the email and whether you clicked on any of the links in the email. You can opt-out of marketing emails that may use web beacons.

You can also opt-out of certain functional and performance cookies that we use on our websites and applications. You will have to opt-out for each browser that you use.
