1. Introduction
Hangandshut uses cookies and similar technologies on www.hangandshut.com to support website functions, remember preferences and facilitate payment activities.
This policy explains the types of cookies used, their purposes, retention periods and how you can manage your preferences. It is intended to be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They may be used to remember preferences, maintain browsing sessions and support payment-related functions.
Cookies may be classified as session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until deleted.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies support core website functions, including shopping basket operations, checkout sessions and the retention of cookie preferences. They may operate without consent where permitted by applicable law.
Payment-Related Cookies
Stripe, our payment processing provider, may use cookies or similar technologies during payment interactions to facilitate payment processing, recognise payment sessions and identify unusual transaction activity.
Stripe-related cookies are subject to Stripe’s applicable cookie and privacy terms. Their use depends on the payment components enabled on our website.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices such as your cookie preferences and help maintain a consistent browsing experience.
Analytics and Advertising Cookies
Where enabled, these cookies may help us understand website usage or measure advertising activity. They are non-essential and will only be activated after you select “Accept” on our cookie banner, in accordance with applicable consent requirements.
4. Third-Party Cookies and Stripe
Our website uses Stripe for payment processing. During payment interactions, Stripe may place or access cookies and similar technologies associated with its payment services.
Stripe determines the use and retention of its own cookies in accordance with its applicable policies. For further information, please consult the Stripe Cookie Policy.
Other third-party services, if enabled on our website, may use their own cookies under their respective policies. Not all third-party cookies are operated by Stripe.
5. Cookie Retention Periods
Cookie retention depends on the purpose of the cookie and the service that sets it. We apply the following general retention approach:
- Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser.
- Essential checkout cookies: retained for the duration needed to complete the relevant website or payment session, subject to the cookie’s function.
- Cookie preference records: generally retained for up to 6 months before preferences are requested again.
- Preference cookies: retained only for the period needed to remember the relevant choice, generally no longer than 6 months.
- Stripe-related cookies: retained according to the applicable cookie lifespan and Stripe’s published policies.
- Analytics and advertising cookies: where used, retained for the period stated in the applicable cookie settings or cookie information.
These periods reflect our intended retention approach. Cookies may have different expiry periods depending on their specific function. We review retention settings to ensure they remain appropriate for the stated purposes and applicable legal requirements.
6. Cookie Consent and Your Choices
A cookie banner is displayed to allow you to make a choice about non-essential cookies.
- Selecting “Accept” indicates consent to the non-essential cookies described in the banner.
- If you do not accept, non-essential cookies will not be activated.
- Essential cookies may remain active where they are necessary for requested website functions and applicable law permits their use.
You may change or withdraw your consent through the available cookie settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place lawfully before withdrawal.
You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect some website functions.
7. Data Protection and Applicable Law
Hangandshut handles personal data associated with cookies in accordance with applicable Singaporean data protection requirements, including the Personal Data Protection Act 2012, and relevant European data protection and electronic privacy requirements, including the GDPR and applicable national rules implementing the ePrivacy Directive.
Where cookies collect personal data, that information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Non-essential cookies requiring consent will not be activated before the required consent is obtained.
8. Changes to This Policy
