They help us ‘remember’ when your computer or device accesses our site. Cookies enable us to remember whether you are logged in and what items you had in your shopping basket. They are essential for the effective operation of our site and to help you shop with us online. Additionally, cookies tailor the products and services offered and advertised to you, both on our site and elsewhere.

Some cookies collect information about your browsing and purchasing behavior when you access our site via the same computer or device.

What Are Cookies Used For?
Cookies are used with our marketing partners to present you with appropriate offers and advertising as you browse other sites on the internet, based on your browsing activity while on our site. Cookies also allow us to work alongside our web analytics partner, Google Analytics, to see how you use our website, which pages or special functions you prefer, and help us improve them. We may match the data we capture through cookies with personal data we already hold about you to better understand you. This helps us to continually enhance the relevance of our promotional communications, your shopping experience, and our products and services. The main purposes for which cookies are used are:
- For functional purposes essential to the effective operation of our site, particularly in relation to online transactions, site navigation, and preferences.
- For marketing and advertising, particularly web banner advertisements and targeted updates through digital channels and social media.
- To enable us to collect information about your browsing and shopping behavior, helping us to improve your shopping experience and monitor performance.
- To enable us to meet our contractual obligations to make payments to third parties when a product is purchased by someone who has visited our site from a site operated by those parties.
Marketing Cookies
IMPERATRIS FZE LLC works with partners who serve advertisements or present online offers on our behalf. Most of these marketing partners use both session and persistent cookies. These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They also help limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. All data collected by third-party cookies is anonymous and will never contain your name, address, telephone number, email address, or payment details.
What Type of Cookies Do We Use?
- Session Cookies are deleted after each visit to our site. For example, when you are browsing our site, it will remember you for the duration of your visit, but the cookie will be removed from your computer as soon as you close your internet browser. Session cookies allow you to add an item to the basket and then move through the checkout. Disabling these cookies via your web browser will mean you are unable to place an order on this site.
- Persistent Cookies remember you for a set period, allowing wishlist and/or previously viewed products to be displayed the next time you visit our site and whether you were logged into your account.
Turning Off and Deleting Cookies
Most web browsers will provide the option to turn off or disallow cookies. How you do this depends on the web browser you are using. Instructions for disallowing cookies can usually be found in the browser's 'Help' menu. Note that, like most other transactional websites, if you disable only third-party cookies, you will still be able to make purchases on our site, but refusing the cookies we use via your web browser will mean you are unable to make a transactional purchase on our site. You may also find that the functionality of many other websites and services will be affected. Cookies can be deleted using your web browser. However, unless they are disallowed, they will be re-applied the next time you visit a website. If you want to disable cookies, you need to change your web browser settings to reject cookies. How you can do this will depend on the browser you use. Further details on how to disable cookies for the most popular desktop browsers are set out here (these may vary depending on operating system and browser version):
