Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit a website. They allow websites to function properly, remember information about your visit and, where you have consented, help website owners understand how their websites are used and measure the effectiveness of advertising.

Similar technologies, including pixels, tags, scripts and local storage, can perform comparable functions. In this Cookie Policy, references to “cookies” include these similar technologies where appropriate.

House of Yì uses cookies and similar technologies to operate our website and online store, maintain security, enable shopping and checkout functionality, remember your cookie preferences, understand how visitors use our website and, where you have consented, measure and improve our advertising.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function and do not require your consent. Other cookies, including analytics, performance and advertising cookies, are used in accordance with your cookie choices and applicable law.

You can accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies through the cookie controls displayed on our Website.

Our Website is hosted by Squarespace, which uses certain cookies that are necessary to securely provide the Website and its e-commerce functionality.

These cookies may, for example, keep track of products added to your shopping cart, maintain your checkout session, protect the Website against fraudulent or malicious requests and remember essential Website settings.

Because these technologies are required to provide services you request, they cannot ordinarily be disabled through our cookie preference controls.

1. Squarespace analytics

Squarespace provides us with analytics tools that help us understand how the Website is being used. Depending on your cookie preferences and our Website configuration, Squarespace may use analytics and performance cookies to recognise visitors and connect activity across browsing sessions.

This information may help us understand matters such as Website traffic, traffic sources, visitor activity and the performance of different areas of our Website.

Where consent is required, these cookies will only be used in accordance with the choices you make through our cookie controls.

2. Meta Pixel

We use the Meta Pixel, a technology provided by Meta Platforms, to help us understand how visitors interact with House of Yì after seeing or engaging with our advertising on services such as Facebook and Instagram.

When you consent to marketing cookies, the Meta Pixel may collect or receive information about your interaction with our Website. This may include information about pages or products viewed, actions such as adding a product to your cart or completing a purchase, information about your browser or device, IP address, advertising identifiers and information associated with an advertising click.

Meta may use this information, in accordance with its own privacy practices, to provide advertising measurement and reporting, help us understand the effectiveness of our campaigns, create or measure advertising audiences and deliver advertising that may be more relevant to you.

The Meta Pixel may use cookies including fbp, which provides a browser identifier, and fbc in certain circumstances where a visitor reaches our Website through a Meta advertisement.

Meta advertising and marketing technologies are non-essential. Where consent is required, we will only use these technologies after you have consented to marketing cookies through our cookie controls.

For more information about how Meta uses cookies and personal information, please see the Meta Cookies Policy and Meta Privacy Policy.

3. Google Search Console

We use Google Search Console to understand and manage how House of Yì appears in Google Search.

Google Search Console is different from Google Analytics. Search Console provides information relating to our Website's performance in Google Search and is not, by itself, a visitor analytics tag installed on our Website for tracking visitor behaviour.

Accordingly, simply connecting House of Yì to Google Search Console does not mean that Google Analytics cookies are used on our Website.

If we introduce Google Analytics, Google Ads or other Google tracking technologies in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and our cookie controls where necessary.

When you first visit our Website, you may be presented with a cookie banner allowing you to accept, reject or managenon-essential cookies.

You can change your preferences at any time using the Manage Cookies control available on our Website.

Rejecting non-essential cookies will not prevent you from shopping with House of Yì or using the core functions of our Website. However, certain analytics, personalisation or advertising features may not operate as intended.

You may also control or delete cookies using your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies through your browser may affect the operation of the Website, including shopping cart or checkout functionality.

Some cookies and similar technologies used through our Website are provided by third parties, such as Squarespace and Meta.

These organisations may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies and may process information in countries outside the United Kingdom.

We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant third-party providers if you would like more information about how they handle personal information.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, including when we change the technologies or services used on our Website or where legal or regulatory requirements change.

When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, request your consent again.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or how House of Yì uses cookies and similar technologies, please contact us using the contact details provided on our Website.

For further information about how House of Yì collects, uses and protects personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.
