9. Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that a website sends your computer. It records information necessary for certain website functions such as remembering your preferences or settings. Our site uses cookies to keep track of your current shopping cart, previous purchases and to deliver content specific to your interests. We also use 3rd party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie and Google advertising cookies) to measure effectiveness and performance of our service, and to show ads and promotions that are relevant to your specific shopping preferences.
The use of cookies is an industry standard and many websites use them to provide useful features for their customers. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. Cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify users, only their computers. A cookie in no way gives Style Cycle Fashion access to your computer. If you’d prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies. However, you will not be able to take full advantage of our website if you do so.
10. Links to third party sites
In an attempt to provide you with increased value, we may from time to time include third party links on our website. These linked sites have separate and independent copyright and privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies when you visit those sites. This Copyright and Privacy Policy Statement only covers our website and does not cover any other websites.
We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites.
