1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored on your computer, phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies can help a website remember information about your visit, keep you logged in, maintain your basket, provide security and understand how the website is being used.
Similar technologies may also be used to store or access information on your device. This Cookie Policy applies to cookies and similar technologies used by Miuvia.
2. How Miuvia Uses Cookies
Miuvia may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:
- Operating the website
- Maintaining your Miuvia account
- Keeping you logged in
- Remembering items in your basket
- Supporting checkout
- Maintaining website security
- Preventing fraud and abuse
- Remembering certain preferences
- Understanding website usage
- Measuring website performance
- Supporting marketing activities, where applicable
The specific cookies used by Miuvia will depend on the services and features enabled on the website.
3. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Some cookies are necessary for the website to function properly.
These may include cookies required for:
- Account authentication
- Login sessions
- Basket functionality
- Checkout
- Security
- Fraud prevention
- Remembering choices necessary to provide a service you have requested
Where a cookie is genuinely strictly necessary for the service you have requested, applicable law may allow it to operate without obtaining consent. The UK ICO specifically recognises examples such as basket and checkout cookies and authentication/security cookies.
Even where consent is not required, Miuvia will provide appropriate information about its use of cookies.
4. Analytics Cookies
If Miuvia uses analytics cookies or similar technologies to understand how visitors use the website, these will be identified in our cookie information.
Where applicable law requires consent for analytics technologies, Miuvia will obtain the appropriate consent before using them.
We will not describe a particular analytics service in this policy until that service has actually been selected and configured.
5. Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Miuvia may use marketing or advertising technologies in the future.
Where such technologies are used and applicable law requires consent, Miuvia will obtain consent before setting or using the relevant cookies or similar technologies.
We will not use marketing or advertising cookies simply because they are technically available.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some services used by Miuvia may place cookies or use similar technologies.
Depending on the final website configuration, these may include services associated with:
- Payment processing
- Website functionality
- Analytics
- Security
- Embedded content
- Social-media features
- Marketing
The specific third parties and technologies used by Miuvia will be identified in the cookie information available on the website once the production configuration has been finalised.
Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy policies.
7. Cookie Consent
Where applicable law requires consent for a cookie or similar technology, Miuvia will ask for your consent before using it.
Consent for non-essential cookies must be a clear and positive choice. Simply continuing to browse the website does not constitute valid consent where consent is legally required.
Users should be able to refuse or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies without being prevented from using services that do not require those cookies.
8. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Where Miuvia uses non-essential cookies that require consent, the website will provide a mechanism for managing your preferences.
You may also be able to control cookies through your browser settings.
Blocking or deleting cookies may affect certain website functions.
For example, disabling necessary cookies may prevent account, basket or checkout functionality from operating correctly.
9. Cookies and Personal Information
Some cookies may collect or be associated with information that can constitute personal information.
Where this occurs, the processing of that information is also governed by our Privacy Policy.
Cookie consent requirements and personal-data processing requirements are separate considerations. A cookie may be exempt from consent because it is strictly necessary while personal information processed through that cookie may still be subject to applicable privacy-law requirements.
10. Changes to Our Use of Cookies
The cookies and similar technologies used by Miuvia may change as the website develops.
We may add, remove or replace technologies when we introduce new features, services, security measures, analytics or marketing tools.
If our use of cookies changes materially, we will update this Cookie Policy and, where required, obtain fresh consent.
The ICO specifically recommends reviewing cookie use when it changes and ensuring that the cookie information remains comprehensive and accurate.
