Understanding cookies
What cookies are
In everyday terms, cookies are small text files or comparable browser-storage mechanisms that may help a website recognise a browser, remember selected settings, and operate reliably during a visit or on a later return. They can support practical website functions without changing the experience you receive when visiting Chance and Velvet in person.
Depending on the technologies used at a particular time, a cookie may be set when you open a page, make a choice, or use a feature. Some may last only while a browser session remains open, while others may remain until removed or until their relevant settings change. Their use can vary as the website develops.
The term “cookies” in this policy may also include related browser or device technologies, such as local storage or tags, where they perform a similar function. We use the collective term for clarity, rather than requiring visitors to distinguish between technical methods that can support the same website experience.
- Function
- Cookies may enable requested website features, assist with page delivery, or help the site operate consistently while you move between pages. Where used, they support the website rather than any physical venue service.
- Preference
- Cookies may remember a choice you have made, including a display or consent-related choice, so a later visit can feel more consistent. The settings available depend on the relevant website feature.
- Understanding
- Where applicable, cookies may help us understand broad patterns in how pages are used, how visitors move through the site, or where technical performance can be improved. This can inform clearer content and a more reliable website experience.
