Cookie Policy

Cookie Policy

Effective as of February 5, 2022

We mentioned in our Privacy Policy that we use cookies and related technologies (collectively referred to as “cookies”) to provide you with the services accessible through our website (together the “Services”). 

This policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our Services (the “Cookie Policy”).

  1. What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small file consisting of a string of characters that can be placed on your computer or mobile device that uniquely identifies your browser or your device. This recognition helps the efficient operation of our site and Services.

We use both session cookies and persistent cookies.

  • We use a session cookie to identify you during a particular visit to the Heyden website. Session cookies expire after a short time, or when you close your web browser.
  • We use a persistent cookie to identify you over a longer period of time. (For example, if you asked us to keep you signed in, we would use a persistent cookie for that purpose.) Persistent cookies remain on your device for the set period of time specified in the cookie.
  1. Do we use Cookies?

Like most websites, we use cookies in the course of providing you with our Services. We use cookies and other similar technologies.

These technologies help us understand how our Services are being used, help you navigate our website, help remember your preferences, use features such as shopping baskets and generally improve your experience in using our website. Cookies can also help ensure marketing you might see online is more relevant to you and your interests.

  1. What cookies and related technologies do you use and why?

We mainly use cookies and related technologies to make our Services work and to improve our products. Some of the technologies we use include:

  • IP address: IP address is the short form for Internet Protocol address which is assigned by internet access providers to every computer that is connected to the internet. Website owners have access to IP addresses of their users. Using IP addresses, we and our partners can identify the country, state and city from which a computer is connecting to the Internet. IP addresses are, for example, used for IP geo-location purposes, e.g. by Google Analytics.
  • Device identifiers: We may also collect unique or persistent device identifiers so that we can identify your device. 

We use cookies to make our Services work, specifically:

  • To authenticate you and secure our Services: We use cookies to identify you, and monitor login data. This allows us to know, for example, whether you are logged in and from where. It also helps us to detect and stop fraud on our Services, as well as spam and illegal use. 
  • To remember your settings and preferences: We use cookies to recognize your browser and remember your preferences (such as your preferred language).
  • To improve performance: We use cookies to provide the best experience on our website. For example, we use cookies to speed up the loading of our Services. We also use them to remember items in your shopping basket.
  • To conduct analytics: We use Google Analytics cookies, including a cookie provided by Google Analytics, to collect anonymous traffic data to help us analyze how members and visitors access our website, and for other Analytics services relating to website activity and internet usage.
  • To process payments: Shopify, our payment processor may use cookies are part of the payment flow.
  1. How long do cookies last?

The length of time a cookie will stay on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies will only stay on your device until you stop browsing. Persistent cookies stay on your computer or mobile device until they expire or are deleted.

  1. First and third party cookies

First-party cookies are cookies that belong to Heyden, third-party cookies are cookies that another party places on your device through our Service. Third-party cookies may be placed on your device by someone providing a service for Heyden, for example to help us understand how our service is being used. Third-party cookies may also be placed on your device by our business partners so that they can use them to advertise products and services to you elsewhere on the internet. Our current business partners include:
