This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on christinahermes.com and how you can control them. Read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to remember information about your visit — for example, that you have already dismissed a notice, or which pages you looked at.

2. Cookies we use

Strictly necessary

ch_cookie_choice — remembers your choice on the cookie banner so we do not show it again. Stored in your browser's local storage. Expires: never (until you clear it).

Analytics (only with your consent)

Aggregate page-view counters — help us understand which articles are read. IP addresses are anonymized. Set only if you accept the cookie banner.

Advertising

We may run small ad campaigns on Microsoft Advertising (Bing) and similar networks to introduce our candles to new readers. When you arrive from such a campaign, the ad network may set a cookie to measure whether the ad worked. You can opt out on the ad network's own site (Microsoft's opt-out is at account.microsoft.com/privacy/ad-settings).

3. Managing cookies

You can accept or decline non-essential cookies using the banner at the bottom of the Site. You can also clear cookies at any time in your browser's settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent parts of the Site from working correctly.

4. Do Not Track

We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. If your browser sends one, we treat it as a request to opt out of any non-essential tracking.

5. Changes to this policy

When we add or remove a cookie, we update this page and the date at the top.
