Cookie Policy

At TEMPWARD, we are committed to protecting your privacy and providing a transparent and secure online shopping experience.

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on our website, the purposes they serve, and the choices available to visitors.

Our approach is designed to address applicable privacy and electronic communications requirements in the United States, Canada, the European Union, and the United Kingdom.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other connected device when you visit them.

Cookies help websites recognize devices, maintain essential functions, remember preferences, and understand how visitors interact with online services.

Depending on their purpose, cookies may be essential for website functionality or used for optional activities such as analytics and personalized advertising.

We may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, and local storage, where applicable.

They may be used to:

  • Maintain shopping cart functionality.

  • Enable secure checkout.

  • Support account authentication.

  • Prevent fraudulent transactions.

  • Maintain website security.

  • Remember privacy and cookie consent choices.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot generally be disabled through our cookie preference interface because they are required to provide services requested by the customer.

However, browser settings may allow certain cookies to be blocked, which could affect website functionality.

These cookies help us understand how customers interact with our website.

They may collect information about:

  • Pages visited.

  • Website navigation.

  • Time spent on specific pages.

  • Website performance.

Their purposes may include:

3. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are associated with the TEMPWARD website and may support essential shopping functionality or website preferences.

Such providers may include:

Where consent is required by applicable law, our website will provide a mechanism allowing visitors to:

  • Accept non-essential cookies.

  • Reject non-essential cookies.

  • Manage preferences by cookie category.

  • Withdraw or modify consent at any time.

Strictly necessary cookies may operate without consent where legally permitted.

Rejecting optional cookies will not prevent customers from accessing essential shopping and checkout functions.

5. Cookie Retention and Expiration

Cookies may remain on your device for different periods depending on their purpose.

Session Cookies

These are generally deleted when the browser session ends.

Persistent Cookies

These remain on your device for a defined period or until deleted manually, unless an applicable technology provides otherwise.

Actual retention periods depend on the cookies and services enabled on our website.

Information about specific cookies, providers, purposes, and retention periods will be made available through our cookie preference interface or an accompanying cookie inventory.

We aim to retain information only for as long as necessary for legitimate and lawful purposes.
