This Policy applies to all cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, software development kit (SDK) identifiers and similar tracking technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) deployed on the Website, whether placed by SKL directly (“first-party Cookies”) or by third parties on SKL's behalf or independently (“third-party Cookies”).

This Policy applies to all Users of the Website, irrespective of whether such User has registered an account, made a purchase, or merely browses the Website without transacting.

This Policy does not extend to cookies or tracking technologies deployed by third-party websites that may be linked from the Website, and SKL accepts no responsibility for the cookie practices of such independent third-party websites.

A Cookie is a small text file placed on a User's computer, mobile phone or other device when the User visits a website. Cookies allow the website to recognise the User's device on subsequent visits, remember preferences, and collect information regarding browsing behaviour and usage patterns.

Cookies may be classified, by duration, as: (i) “session Cookies”, which are temporary and are automatically deleted once the browser session ends; and (ii) “persistent Cookies”, which remain stored on the User's device for a pre-defined period, or until manually deleted by the User, and are activated each time the User visits the Website.

SKL engages reputable third-party service providers, including analytics providers, payment gateway processors, content delivery networks, and digital marketing and advertising platforms, who may place Cookies on a User's device through the Website.

Such third parties are independent data fiduciaries or data controllers in respect of the data collected through their respective Cookies, and their use of such data is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies. SKL does not control, and accepts no liability in respect of, the cookie practices of such independent third parties.

SKL undertakes to contract with such third parties on terms requiring them to process data collected through Cookies in a manner consistent with applicable data protection law and this Policy, to the extent within SKL's control.

On the User's first visit to the Website, a cookie consent banner shall be displayed, enabling the User to: (i) accept all Cookies; (ii) reject all non-essential Cookies; or (iii) customise consent on a category-by-category basis through the preference centre.

A User may withdraw previously granted consent, or modify Cookie preferences, at any time by accessing the preference centre link available in the footer of the Website, or through the applicable settings of the User's browser as described in Clause 8 below.

Withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to such withdrawal, and shall not affect the operation of Strictly Necessary Cookies, which remain active irrespective of consent status.

Users should note that disabling or blocking certain categories of Cookies, particularly Strictly Necessary and Functional Cookies, may impair or disable certain features of the Website, including not able to complete a secure checkout or make a purchase, blocking them stops the site from keeping items in your shopping cart.

Users may additionally opt out of interest-based advertising Cookies through industry opt-out mechanisms, including those made available by the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance, where such mechanisms are applicable to the relevant third-party advertising platform.

Session Cookies are retained only for the duration of the User's browsing session and are automatically deleted upon closure of the browser.

Persistent Cookies are retained for such period as is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purpose for which they were deployed, and in any event for a period not exceeding thirteen (13) months from the date of placement, unless the User deletes such Cookies earlier or renews consent thereto.

SKL reserves the right to review, amend or update this Policy at its sole discretion, including to reflect changes in Cookie technology, applicable law, or SKL's business practices. The revised Policy shall be published on the Website with an updated “Last updated” date.

Users are encouraged to review this Policy periodically. Continued use of the Website following any update to this Policy shall constitute acceptance of the revised terms.
