COOKIE POLICY

Last updated: 06/09/2025

1. INTRODUCTION

This Cookie Policy explains how OCTAVE BANANA LTD trading as DoWear (“Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit dowear.co.uk (the “Website”). It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have to control their use. In some cases, cookies may collect personal data or be combined with other information so that it becomes personal data. For details about how we process personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve performance, and to provide reporting information. First-party cookies are set by the website owner (DoWear). Third-party cookies are set by parties other than the website owner (for example, analytics, advertising or embedded content providers) and can recognise your device across different websites.

3. WHY WE USE COOKIES

We use both first- and third-party cookies for the following purposes:

• Strictly Necessary – required for the Website to function (e.g., security, network management, your cookie preferences, shopping basket and checkout). These cannot be switched off.
• Performance & Analytics – help us understand how visitors use the Website so we can measure and improve performance.
• Functionality – remember choices you make (such as language, currency, region) to provide enhanced, personalised features.
• Advertising / Targeting – used by us and our partners to build a profile of your interests and show relevant adverts on our site and elsewhere.
• Social Media – enable content sharing and may track your browser across other sites.

4. YOUR CHOICES & HOW TO CONTROL COOKIES

You can control cookies in several ways:

• Cookie Consent Manager: Use our on-site banner or settings panel to accept or reject non-essential cookie categories at any time. Essential cookies are always active.
• Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via their settings. Doing so may affect site functionality.
• Advertising choices: You can opt out of interest-based advertising in your browser or device settings where supported.

To review or change your preferences now, open Cookie Settings.

5. OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

We also use similar technologies such as web beacons (clear GIFs, tracking pixels) and event tags. These are tiny graphics or code snippets that recognise when a page is viewed or an email is opened, helping us measure campaign effectiveness and site performance.

6. FLASH COOKIES / LOCAL STORAGE

Certain features may use Local Shared Objects (“Flash cookies”) or browser local storage, for example to prevent fraud or remember preferences. You can manage Flash cookies through the Adobe Flash Player settings. Restricting these technologies may limit some site functionality.

7. TARGETED ADVERTISING

Third-party advertising partners may set cookies to deliver adverts relevant to you, limit how often you see an advert, and measure campaign performance. These cookies do not enable us or our partners to directly identify you unless you choose to provide identifying information to us.

8. “DO NOT TRACK”

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. There is no common industry standard for responding to DNT. At present, our Website does not respond to DNT signals, but you can use the controls described above to manage cookies.

9. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page regularly to stay informed. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last updated.
