Cookie Policy
At WhiteCirc Ltd, we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. In the spirit of transparency, this policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies. This cookie policy applies to any WhiteCirc Ltd product or service that links to this policy or incorporates it by reference.
Does WhiteCirc Ltd sites use cookies?
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables WhiteCirc Ltd to supply features and functionality for this website. For example, cookies enable us to identify your device, secure your access to WhiteCirc Ltd sites generally, and even help us know if someone attempts to access your account from a different device. Cookies also enable you to easily share content on WhiteCirc Ltd sites and help us serve relevant ads to you on-site and around the web.
When does WhiteCirc Ltd place cookies?
We use cookies on our sites (such as boutiquemags.com and any other sites run by WhiteCirc Ltd) and mobile applications. Any browser visiting these sites will receive cookies from us.
What types of cookies does WhiteCirc Ltd use?
We use two types: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie helps us recognize you as an existing user, so it’s easier to return to our sites or interact with our services without signing in again. After you sign in, a persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read by our sites when you return to one of our sites or a partner site that uses our services. Session cookies only last for as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).
What are cookies used for?
Cookies can be used to recognize you when you visit our sites, remember your preferences, and give you a personalized experience that’s in line with your browser or app settings. Cookies also make your interactions with WhiteCirc Ltd sites faster and more secure. Additionally, cookies allow us to bring you advertising both on and off the WhiteCirc Ltd sites.
Categories of Use:
Authentication - If you’re signed in to any WhiteCirc Ltd site, cookies help us show you the right information and personalize your experience.
Security - We use cookies to enable and support our security features, and to help us detect malicious activity and violations of our User Agreement.
Preferences, features and services - Cookies can tell us which language you prefer and what your communications preferences are. They can help you fill out forms on our sites more easily.
Advertising - We may use cookies to show you relevant advertising both on and off our sites. We may also use a cookie to learn whether someone who saw an ad later visited and took an action (e.g. made a purchase) on our sites. Similarly, our partners may use a cookie to determine whether we’ve shown an ad and how it performed, or provide us with information about how you interact with ads.
Performance, Analytics and Research - Cookies help us learn how well our sites perform in different locations. We also use cookies to understand, improve, and research products, features, and services, including when you access our products from other websites, applications, or devices such as your work computer or your mobile device.
What is Do Not Track (DNT)?
DNT is a concept that has been promoted by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for the Internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism for allowing Internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites by using browser settings. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has been working with industry groups, Internet browsers, technology companies, and regulators to develop a DNT technology standard. While some progress has been made, it has been slow. No standard has been adopted to this date. As such, WhiteCirc Ltd sites do not generally respond to "do not track" signals.
How are cookies used for advertising purposes?
Cookies and other ad technology such as beacons, pixels, and tags help us serve relevant ads to you more effectively. They also help us provide aggregated auditing, research, and reporting for advertisers, understand and improve our service, and know when content has been shown to you. Note: Because your web browser may request advertisements and beacons directly from third party ad network servers, these networks can view, edit, or set third party cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site. Ads served by WhiteCirc Ltd sites may also set third party cookies.
If you are logged in on boutiquemags.com or another service that references this Cookie Policy and one of our cookies on your device identifies you, your usage (such as your browsing behaviour) and log data (such as your IP address), will be associated by us with your account as noted in our Privacy Policy. We also use aggregate data from third parties and data from your profile and WhiteCirc Ltd sites activity.
If you are a member to one of our sites but logged out of your account on a browser, WhiteCirc Ltd may still continue to log your interaction with our services on that browser for up to 30 days in order to generate usage analytics for our services, which analytics we may share in aggregate form with our advertising customers.
Unless you clear these cookies from your browser, we may use this information to:
- provide more relevant, interest-based advertising
- provide aggregate reports of ads activity to advertisers and websites hosting the ads
- help website and product owners understand how visitors engage with their sites or apps
- detect and defend against fraud and other risks to protect users and partners
- improve our products
For further information regarding our use of cookies and similar technologies for advertising purposes, please see our Privacy Policy.
What third-party cookies does WhiteCirc Ltd use?
Our cookie table lists some of the third-party cookies on our sites. Please note that the names of cookies, pixels and other technologies may change over time.
Controlling cookies
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.
What to do if you don’t want cookies to be set or want them to be removed?
If you do not want to receive cookies, you can change your browser settings on your computer or other device you’re using to access our services. If you use any WhiteCirc Ltd site without changing your browser settings, we’ll assume that you’re happy to receive all cookies on the website. Most browsers also provide functionality that lets you review and erase cookies, including WhiteCirc Ltd cookies. Please note that the WhiteCirc Ltd sites will not work properly without cookies.
