Cookie types used by The Curious Caterpillar and their uses

Cookies have been classified into different categories by the ICC UK, based on their functions and what they’re used for.
We use the following types of cookies for varying functions on our website:

Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are required for the basic operation of thecuriouscaterpillar.co.uk. These cookies allow you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart and place orders.

Analytical/performance cookies: These cookies collect information on how you use thecuriouscaterpillar.co.uk, including number of page visits and if you receive error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies you, instead the information these cookies collect is aggregated and completely anonymous. It is only used to improve how thecuriouscaterpillar.co.uk works.

Functionality cookies: These are used to recognise you when you return to thecuriouscaterpillar.co.uk and remember your activity, such as keeping you logged in to your account or your previously browsed products. This enables us to personalise our content for you and remember your preferences. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Advertising cookies: These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. These cookies remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation. 
  

What happens if I disable cookies?

If you disable some or all of our cookies, our website may not function properly. If you disable 3rd party cookies, you will still be able to make purchases on thecuriouscaterpillar.co.uk, however if you disable all cookies, you will not be able to complete a transaction.

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) feature. When DNT is enabled, it will send a request to a website so that your browsing behaviour is not tracked. There is currently no consensus on how companies should interpret DNT, and as a result thecuriouscaterpillar.co.uk does not currently respond to these requests. 

How do I disable cookies?

If you choose to disable all of our cookies, thecuriouscaterpillar.co.uk may not function properly and you will be limited to browsing our website only. You will not be able to add products to your basket and buy them. Disabling cookies is different for each browser. Visit your browser’s support website to find the best way to do this.
