Cookies Policy

Thanks for visiting Bordercollied Up. Please take a moment to read our Cookies Policy before continuing to use this website.

This policy helps explain when and why cookies may be sent to visitors of our website (referred to in this policy as “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”).

“Cookies” are text-only pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual’s hard drive or other website-browsing equipment for record-keeping purposes. Cookies allow the website to remember important information that will make your use of the site more convenient.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small pieces of data stored in text files on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors and perform essential functions such as allowing users to log in and maintain their shopping cart.

Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first-party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third-party cookies”).

Both websites and HTML emails may also contain other tracking technologies such as “web beacons” or “pixels.” These are typically small transparent images that provide us with statistics for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.

Cookies allow Bordercollied Up to serve you better and more efficiently, and to personalize your experience on our Site. Web beacons, tags, and scripts may be used on the website or in emails to help us deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness, and determine whether an email has been opened and acted upon. We may perform analysis based on the use of these technologies and generate reports on an individual and aggregated basis.

Cookies do not contain any information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked, by us, to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. The cookies used on the website include those which are strictly necessary cookies for access and navigation, cookies that track usage (performance cookies), remember your choices (functionality cookies), and cookies that provide you with targeted content or advertising.

We may use the information we obtain from your use of our cookies for the following purposes:

  • To recognize your computer when you visit the website.

  • To track you as you navigate the website and to enable the use of our standard facilities.

  • To improve the website’s usability.

  • To analyze the use of the website.

  • In the administration of the website.

  • To personalize the website for you, including targeting advertisements which may be of particular interest to you.

WHY WE USE COOKIES

A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a randomly generated unique number or other value. Certain cookies will be used on the Site regardless of whether you are logged in to your account or not. Like most websites, we use cookies for a variety of purposes in order to improve your online experience, for analytics, and for marketing. Specifically, we use cookies on the website for the following reasons:

  • Analytical Purposes: Our website uses cookies to analyze user activity in order to improve the platform. For example, using cookies we can look at aggregate patterns like the average number of product searches that users perform. We use such analysis to gain insights about how to improve the functionality and user experience of the storefront.

  • Your Preferences: Our website uses cookies to store certain user preferences on our platform. For example, we may store your recent navigation choices or parameters in a cookie so that we can allow you to easily navigate when you return to our website.

  • Marketing: We may use cookies from third-party partners such as Pinterest, Google, and Meta (Facebook) for marketing purposes. These cookies allow us to display Bordercollied Up promotional material to you on other sites you visit across the Internet. We may also share information about your behavior on the website with third parties (including operators of third-party websites and/or social networking sites) in order to show you targeted advertisements and other content that has been customized for you.

  • Referral Tracking: We may use cookies to associate user activity with the third-party website that referred the user to our website, or to associate user activity that Bordercollied Up referred to a third-party website. These third-party partner websites receive credit for the activity of users they refer to our website. We do not share any personal information or information about individual user activities with these partner entities.

TYPES OF COOKIES WE MAY USE ON THIS WEBSITE

Depending on the purpose:

  • Technical cookies: These enable the user to browse the web page, platform, or application and use the different options or services on it, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, recording elements that make up an order, completing a checkout, or using security elements during browsing.

  • Geolocation cookies: These permit us to know from where the user is requesting a service. This cookie is anonymous and is used, for example, to offer you the correct regional configuration depending on the country where you are located.

  • Personalization cookies: These enable the user to access the service pursuant to certain general, pre-defined characteristics according to a range of criteria on the user’s terminal, such as language, browser type used to access the service, or regional setup.

  • Analysis cookies: These enable the monitoring and analysis of the behavior of users of the website to which they are linked. The information gathered through such cookies is used for measuring the activity of the website, platform, or application to drive performance improvements.

  • Behavioral advertising cookies: These enable the efficient management of any available promotional spaces on the website. These cookies store information on user behavior from continued observation of browsing habits, enabling the development of a specific profile to show relevant advertising.

  • Functionality cookies: These are used to remember choices you make (such as your language or your region) on the website application. They store your preferences when personalizing the website to optimize your use of Bordercollied Up. These preferences are remembered through the use of persistent cookies, meaning you won't have to adjust them on your next visit.

  • Performance cookies: These generate aggregated, anonymous information about how you and other users interact with this website and its features. For instance, they collect data on which pages you visit most often, if you open or read the communications we send, and if you encounter any error messages. The information collected is used strictly to improve users’ online experience.

Depending on the duration:

  • Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store information while the user is actively accessing a website. These cookies are deleted from the user’s computer the moment the session expires or the browser is closed.

  • Persistent cookies: These remain stored on the user’s computer and can be accessed and processed when the user leaves the website and returns to it. The user can manually delete these cookies at any time via browser settings.

Depending on who manages the cookies:

  • Own cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal from a computer or domain directly managed by the owner of the website providing the requested service.

  • Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal from a computer or domain that is not managed by the owner of the website, but by another entity that processes the data gathered through the cookie (such as integrated web tools or embedded scripts).

  • Third-party social networks: Integrated social features (e.g., Pinterest, Facebook, YouTube) may place cookies to enable you to share content. These third parties use cookies for their own purposes under their own privacy rules; Bordercollied Up has no direct influence over how these networks use your tracking data.

HOW COOKIES ARE USED FOR ONLINE ANALYTICS PURPOSES

We use web analytics services on our platform, primarily Google Analytics. These services help us analyze how users navigate the site, including noting the third-party site from which you arrived. Google Analytics uses performance cookies to track customer interactions (e.g., pages viewed, time of day visited, traffic sources, and whether you are a returning visitor). All of this data is anonymized and compiled into aggregate reports.
