At FindWeekend (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we are committed to transparency regarding the technologies we use to provide you with an exceptional online shopping experience. This Cookie Policy (“Policy”) explains how and why we use cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, and similar tracking technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) on our website located at https://findweekend.com (the “Site”). It also describes your rights and choices regarding these technologies.

This Policy is designed to comply with applicable privacy and data protection laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for our European customers, and the ePrivacy Directive. By continuing to browse, access, or use our Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and consent to our use of Cookies as described in this Policy. If you do not agree with our use of Cookies, you should adjust your browser settings accordingly or discontinue use of our Site.

This Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact us using the information provided at the end of this document.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and personalized experiences. Cookies are created when your browser loads a particular website. The website sends information to your browser, which then creates a text file. Every time you go back to the same website, your browser retrieves and sends this file to the website’s server.

Cookies are not programs and do not contain viruses, malware, or other harmful software. They cannot access any other information on your computer, nor can they execute code. Cookies typically contain two pieces of information: a site name and a unique user ID. Some Cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session Cookies), while others remain on your device until they expire or you delete them manually (persistent Cookies).

In addition to traditional browser Cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies, including web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), which are tiny graphic images that may be embedded in web pages or emails. These technologies help us understand user behavior, measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, and improve the overall functionality and performance of our Site.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use Cookies and similar technologies for a variety of legitimate business purposes, all aimed at enhancing your experience as you browse our jewelry collections, complete purchases, and interact with our brand. The specific purposes for which we use Cookies include:

2.1 Essential and Functional Operations

Certain Cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our Site. Without these Cookies, our Site cannot function properly, and you would be unable to complete essential actions such as adding items to your shopping cart, proceeding through the checkout process, creating or logging into your account, or accessing secure areas of the Site. These Cookies enable core functionality like page navigation, security features, and network management. They do not store any personally identifiable information and are typically set in response to actions you take, such as filling in forms or setting your privacy preferences.

2.2 Performance and Analytics

We use Cookies to analyze how visitors use our Site, which pages are most frequently visited, how long users spend on each page, and where they encounter errors or difficulties. This information helps us understand user behavior, identify trends, and make improvements to our Site design, navigation, and product offerings. For example, if we notice that many customers abandon their shopping cart at a particular stage of checkout, we can investigate and optimize that process to reduce friction and improve completion rates.

2.3 Personalization and Preferences

These Cookies enable our Site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For instance, we may use Cookies to remember your preferred language, currency (USD), region, or jewelry preferences, such as your favorite metal types (gold, silver, platinum) or gemstone categories. This allows us to tailor your browsing experience to your interests, showing you relevant product recommendations and collections that align with your style preferences.

2.4 Marketing and Advertising

We and our third-party marketing partners use Cookies to deliver relevant advertisements to you both on and off our Site. These Cookies record your visit to our Site, the pages you have viewed, and the links you have followed. We use this information to make our Site and the advertisements displayed on it more relevant to your interests. For example, if you have been browsing our collection of diamond engagement rings, you may see advertisements for similar products when you visit other websites or social media platforms. These Cookies also help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement.

2.5 Social Media Integration

Our Site may include social media features, such as Facebook Like buttons, Instagram feeds, Pinterest Pin buttons, or Twitter share widgets. These features may set Cookies to enable them to function properly, to link your activity on our Site with your social media profiles, and to allow you to share content directly from our product pages. The social media platforms that provide these features may use the information they collect in accordance with their own privacy policies.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

The Cookies we use on our Site can be categorized into the following types based on their purpose, duration, and origin:

3.1 First-Party Cookies

First-party Cookies are set directly by our Site and are essential for its basic functionality. These include Cookies that enable user authentication, maintain shopping cart contents, remember your language preferences, and store your consent choices regarding other Cookies. First-party Cookies are generally considered less privacy-invasive because the data they collect is used only by us and is not shared with external parties.

3.2 Third-Party Cookies

Third-party Cookies are set by external service providers and partners that we engage to enhance our Site’s functionality, analytics, marketing, and social media capabilities. These third parties may include analytics providers (such as Google Analytics), advertising networks (such as Google Ads, Facebook Pixel), payment processors, customer support chat widgets, and review platforms. When you visit our Site, these third parties may place Cookies on your device to collect information about your browsing activities across different websites over time. We do not control the use of these third-party Cookies, and their use is governed by the respective third parties’ privacy policies.

3.3 Session Cookies

Session Cookies are temporary Cookies that remain on your device only for the duration of your current browsing session. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. We use session Cookies to maintain your shopping cart as you navigate between pages, to ensure secure transactions during checkout, and to manage your login session. These Cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our e-commerce platform and do not collect any personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for these operational purposes.

3.4 Persistent Cookies

Persistent Cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you manually delete them. These Cookies help us recognize you when you return to our Site, remember your preferences and settings, and provide a more personalized experience. For example, persistent Cookies may remember items you added to your wishlist, your preferred shipping address, or your jewelry style preferences. The duration of persistent Cookies varies depending on their purpose, ranging from a few days to several years. You can remove persistent Cookies at any time through your browser settings.

4. Specific Cookies and Technologies We Use

Without these Cookies, you would be unable to complete purchases on our Site.
• User Authentication Cookies: These Cookies recognize you when you log into your account, maintain your authenticated session, and prevent unauthorized access to your personal information and order history.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our Site, including page views, session duration, bounce rates, and traffic sources. This data helps us understand which jewelry collections are most popular, how customers navigate between product categories, and where we can improve user experience. Google Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized where possible. For more information, please visit Google’s Privacy Policy.
• Hotjar or Similar Heatmap Tools: We may use session recording and heatmap tools to visualize how users interact with our product pages, navigation menus, and checkout flows. This helps us identify usability issues and optimize the layout of our jewelry galleries and filtering options.

4.3 Marketing and Advertising Cookies

• Google Ads and Remarketing: We use Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing Cookies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to display relevant ads to users who have previously visited our Site. These Cookies track actions such as purchases, add-to-cart events, and page views.
• Facebook Pixel and Instagram Ads: The Facebook Pixel allows us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram, optimize ad delivery to audiences interested in fine jewelry, and create custom audiences for remarketing purposes. This pixel may track page views, add-to-cart actions, and completed purchases.
• Pinterest Tag: If you discover our products through Pinterest, we may use the Pinterest Tag to measure conversions from Pinterest traffic and to optimize our Pinterest advertising strategy.
• Email Marketing Cookies: Our email marketing platform (such as Klaviyo, Mailchimp, or similar) may use Cookies to track email open rates, link clicks, and website visits originating from our email campaigns. This helps us personalize our email content and send you relevant product recommendations and promotional offers.

4.4 Functional and Preference Cookies

• Wishlist and Recently Viewed Items: These Cookies remember products you have added to your wishlist or recently viewed, allowing you to easily access them during future visits without having to search again.
• Currency and Language Preferences: While our Site primarily operates in English and displays prices in USD, these Cookies ensure your regional and currency preferences are maintained if you have selected alternatives.
• Live Chat and Customer Support: If we offer live chat functionality, Cookies may be used to maintain your chat session, remember your conversation history, and provide context to our support agents.

5. Your Choices and Cookie Management

You have the right to control and manage the Cookies placed on your device. Most web browsers automatically accept Cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline Cookies if you prefer. However, please be aware that disabling certain Cookies may prevent you from accessing or using some features of our Site, including the ability to add items to your cart, complete purchases, or log into your account.

5.1 Browser Settings

You can manage Cookies through your browser’s settings menu. The following links provide instructions for managing Cookies in popular browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Please note that if you delete Cookies or use a different browser or device, you may need to reset your preferences. Additionally, clearing Cookies will remove any saved preferences on our Site, such as items in your wishlist or saved addresses.

5.2 Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our Site, you will be presented with a Cookie consent banner that allows you to choose which categories of non-essential Cookies you wish to accept. You can modify your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link, typically located in the footer of our Site. Your consent preferences are stored in a Cookie so that we can respect your choices during future visits.

5.3 Opting Out of Interest-Based Advertising

You can opt out of interest-based advertising from many third-party advertisers and ad networks through the following industry self-regulatory programs:

• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) Opt-Out Tool
• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Consumer Choice Page
• European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA)

Please note that opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean you will no longer see ads. It means that the ads you see will not be tailored to your interests based on your browsing history.

5.4 Mobile Device Controls

Mobile operating systems such as iOS and Android provide settings that allow you to limit ad tracking and reset your advertising identifier. You can typically find these settings under “Privacy” or “Ads” in your device settings. Additionally, you can uninstall or disable our mobile applications if you no longer wish to receive Cookies or tracking through those channels.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers may transmit “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals to websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted or whether they are even aware of them. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As such, FindWeekend does not currently respond to DNT signals or similar mechanisms. However, we continue to monitor developments in this area and may update our practices as industry standards evolve.

7. Data Retention and Security

The information collected through Cookies is retained for varying periods depending on the type of Cookie and its purpose. Session Cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent Cookies may remain on your device for periods ranging from a few days to several years. We regularly review our Cookie retention periods to ensure that data is not stored longer than necessary for the purposes outlined in this Policy.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the information collected through Cookies against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet-based service can be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

8. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or business operations. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of Cookies. Your continued use of our Site after any changes to this Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
