What are cookies
Mint Velvet use cookies in order to create an enjoyable and easy online shopping experience for you. By using Mint Velvet's website, you are agreeing that we can store cookies on your device. Cookies are small text files we put in your browser to track usage of our site but they don’t tell us who you are and are harmless.
There are two different types of cookies - the ones we use on mintvelvet.co.uk (called first party cookies) and the ones companies we work with use (we call these third party cookies). To order products on mintvelvet.co.uk you need to have first party cookies enabled. If you don't wish to enable cookies, you'll still be able to browse the site and use it for research purposes. We allow third party cookies, placed by our re-targeting partner(s), namely Google Analytics, to track your browsing habits on our Website so that we can later show you advertising on other websites which we hope is relevant to your interests. For example, these cookies may remember that you viewed pages on our Website relating to a particular product. Based on that information, you may later be shown one of our advertisements relating to these or similar products when you are viewing pages on another website. These types of cookies are also used to limit the number of times you see these advertisements as well as to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. We also allow third party cookies, placed by our affiliate network partner(s), to record information about third party links or adverts that you may have clicked on directly before browsing on our Website and then making a purchase. These partners do not collect any personal data from which they would be able to identify you and we do not use cookies in combination with your personal data.
