What are cookies?

A cookie is a small amount of information that’s downloaded to your computer or device when you visit certain websites. Cookies make your browsing experience better by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login). This means you don’t have to re-enter this information each time you return to the site or browse from one page to another. Cookies also provide information on how people use the website, for instance whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor,  they also allow  to optimise the way a site works, and with your consent, also send you offers and product recommendations.

What cookies does SHM use and why?  

Some cookies are necessary to allow you to browse our website, use its features, and access secure areas. The use of these cookies is essential for the website to work.  We also use functional cookies to remember choices you’ve made or information you’ve provided, such as your username or the region you are in. This allows us to tailor your website experience specifically to your preferences. For example, authentication cookies are functional cookies that are used for the duration of a session (or persistent, if you agree to the “remember me” function) to allow users to authenticate themselves on subsequent visits or to gain access to authorized content across pages.

The functional cookies SHM uses include:

• User-centric security cookies to detect authentication abuses for a limited persistent duration, like repeated failed login attempts. These cookies are set for the specific task of increasing thesecurity of the service.
• Multimedia content player session cookies (flash cookies) are used for the duration of a session to store technical data needed to play back video or audio content (e.g. image quality, network link speed, and buffering parameters).
• Load balancing session cookies are used for the duration of the session to identify the same server in the pool in order for the load balancer to redirect user requests appropriately.
• User interface customization persistent cookies are used to store a user’s preference regarding a service across web pages. 

Cookies Necessary for the Functioning of the Store:

Reporting and Analytics

This section is meant to explain the types of cookies and other tracking technologies that Shopify may place on your device if you are visiting the storefront of a merchant who uses Shopify platform to power its site, like our SHM website. Stylehuntermilano.it is powered by Shopify.

Shopify uses a number of different cookies on the Shopify merchants platform, including strictly necessary, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies. Shopify is dedicated to user experience and it uses many tools to help us improve our website and our commerce platform. To this end, Shopify uses reporting and analytics cookies to collect information about how you use  our website, and how often. These cookies only gather information for statistical purposes and only use pseudonymous cookie identifiers that do not directly identify you. The performance cookies used  include:

• First party analytics cookies - Shopify uses these cookies to estimate the number of unique visitors, to improve its websites and its omerchants’ websites, and to detect the most searched for words in search engines that lead to a webpage. These cookies are not used to target you with online marketing. Shopify uses these cookies to learn how its websites and its merchants’ websites are performing and make relevant improvements to improve your browsing experience.
• Third party analytics cookies - Shopify also uses Google Analytics and other third-party analytics providers listed below to help measure how users interact with its website content. These cookies “remember” what Shopify  users have done on previous pages and how they’ve interacted with the website. For more information on Google Analytics, visit Google’s information page. For instructions on how opt out of Google Analytics, see below.

Finally, Social and Content cookies are placed by many social media plugins (for example the Facebook ’like’ button), and other tools meant to provide or improve the content on a website (for example services that allow the playing of video files, or that create comments sections). Shopify integrate these modules into its platform to improve the experience of browsing and interacting with its websites. Please note that some of these third party services place cookies that are also used for things like behavioural advertising, analytics, and/or market research.

Shopify does not set  advertising cookies through the merchants’ storefronts  like SHM's website.

How long will cookies remain on your computer or mobile device?

The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device. See the section below on how to control cookies for more information on removing them before they expire.

How to control cookies?

You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible. 

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. For more information on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help file or through such sites as: www.allaboutcookies.org. Many of the third party advertising and other tracking services listed above offer you the opportunity to opt out of their tracking systems.
