This Cookie & Tracking Technology Policy explains how 公司名称 (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), operating under the registered trading brand name Knottywall, deploys cookies, tracking pixels, and local browser-based storage architectures across our official e-commerce platform,www.knottywall.com.
Our digital tracking configurations are systematically calibrated to maintain strict, simultaneous alignment with the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the UK Data Protection Act, the European ePrivacy Directive (EU GDPR), and associated financial sector regulations. Upon accessing our platform, visitors are presented with a transparent, high-visibility Cookie Consent Banner allowing for the dynamic administration of their data preferences.
2. Technical Scope: What Are Cookies?
Cookies are minor cryptographic text files or hardware indicators deposited securely onto your computer, smartphone, or tablet device during active browsing sessions.
These data modules assist our underlying web infrastructure with user identity recognition, automated session continuity, shopping cart memory retention, regional setting allocations, and platform performance monitoring. Cookies may operate under two distinct structural lifecycles: Session Cookies (which purge automatically from your hardware cache upon closure of the browser application) and Persistent Cookies (which remain anchored inside your local storage for a predefined, restricted duration).
3. Prior Opt-In Consent Framework
In strict accordance with international data sovereignty mandates, all non-essential analytical, functional, or marketing tracking mechanisms are blocked by default on our storefront.
Optional cookies are only activated after a visitor executes a voluntary, affirmative selection by choosing the “Accept All” or individual preference authorization options via our interactive Cookie Consent Banner. Visitors maintain an absolute right to continue exploring our wall decoration catalog with limited cookie configuration; however, certain tailored graphical enhancements, persistent preferences, or secondary user interfaces may operate differently.
4. Technical Categorisation of Deployed Cookies
To ensure transparent commercial disclosure, all cookies utilized across our domain are restricted to the following functional classifications:
A. Strictly Necessary Site Operations Cookies
These core elements are technically indispensable to the execution of primary storefront activities. They govern fundamental features including page navigation stability, secure checkout session encryption, and the correct operation of your shopping cart.
Lawful Basis for Processing: Contractual Necessity. Under prevailing cross-border data protection acts, these technologies do not legally require prior customer opt-in consent as our storefront cannot execute basic retail actions without them.
B. Commercial Security & Fraud Mitigation Cookies (Stripe Integration)
Stripe deploys localized security telemetry elements (such as Stripe Radar) across our payment pathways to harvest hardware profiling metrics, network location checkmarks, and automated script detection variables.
These components are used exclusively to recognize fraudulent credit card testing, prevent identity theft, and mitigate unauthorized transaction chargebacks. In full compliance with global PCI-DSS banking safety standards, these tracking assets are categorized as Strictly Necessary for Institutional Security and remain active to protect the integrity of the payment ecosystem.
C. Analytics and Operational Performance Cookies
These anonymous tracking modules assist our engineering personnel in compiling aggregated data surrounding consumer traffic volumes, page bounce rates, structural load speeds, and localized item visibility trends. No direct personal profiling identifiers or private transaction details are captured through these analytical channels.
D. User Preference & Functional Customisation Cookies
These modules allow our storefront database to memorize specific setting variations executed during your previous sessions, including language choices, preferred local currency displays, or regional import tax profiles.
5. Standardized Cookie Retention Framework
The physical storage lifecycle of information harvested via tracking modules is strictly proportional to its technical utility. The definitive operational lifecycles are outlined in the schedule below:
Cookie Classification
Operational Purpose
Definitive Retention Window
Session Elements
Managing active browsing continuity and cart tracking
Removed automatically upon closure of the browsing application
Preference Elements
Storing language selections and currency display criteria
Up to 12 months from original preference selection
Analytics Elements
Monitoring traffic flow volumes and error log counts
Up to 24 months in an anonymized data state
Transaction & Security
Executing payment safety reviews and preventing card fraud
Duration strictly verified for audit trails and fraud prevention under applicable law
6. Universal Browser Governance & Revocation Rights
In addition to the interactive configuration controls accessible via our storefront banner, customers retain an absolute right to modify or block tracking scripts directly through their localized hardware browser configurations. Most modern internet browsing applications permit users to:
Conduct comprehensive safety audits of historically stored cookie caches;
Unilaterally reject all cross-domain tracking nodes or third-party marketing pixels;
Instruct the browser software to automatically wipe all cookie profiles upon closing the application.
Administrative Security Warning: If a customer globally restricts or deletes necessary security and transaction-related cookies within their browser application, our merchant processing gateway may automatically reject checkout attempts due to the technical inability to execute required anti-fraud safety verification handshakes.
7. Intersection with Privacy & Data Protection
All analytical data streams, data indicators, or technical hardware profiles compiled through tracking technologies are processed in complete symmetry with our published Privacy Policy. UNIVERSAL HOUSEWARES PTE. LTD. ensures that any identification metric derived from tracking assets is transmitted exclusively via secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) channels utilizing modern Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption.
8. Scheduled Policy Revisions
The Company reserves the right to periodically amend this Cookie & Tracking Technology Policy to maintain absolute compliance with shifting operational parameters, updated security protocols, or revised cross-border data protection laws. Any modifications to our tracking frameworks will be made visible through the immediate amendment of the “Last Updated” registry at the top of this document.
