Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may place on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognize a browser or device and remember certain information between visits or during a browsing session.

Cookies can perform different functions. Some are necessary for a website to operate correctly, while others help website owners understand visitor behavior, remember preferences, improve performance, or provide relevant functionality.

2. How Puutu Uses Cookies

Puutu may use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes connected with operating and improving our online store.

• Keeping essential website functions working properly.
• Supporting shopping cart and checkout functionality.
• Remembering certain visitor preferences.
• Understanding how visitors navigate and use the website.
• Monitoring website performance and technical issues.
• Improving website functionality and user experience.
• Supporting website security and fraud prevention.

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

Cookies used on a website can generally be grouped according to their purpose. The exact cookies used may change as Puutu updates website functionality, service providers, or technical systems.

4. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies may be required for basic website functions. Without certain essential cookies, features such as shopping cart functionality, checkout, session management, or security controls may not work as intended.

Because these cookies may be necessary for the website to provide requested services, disabling them may affect the availability or functionality of certain portions of the website.

5. Preference Cookies

Preference cookies may help remember information or settings selected during a website visit. Their purpose is to make the browsing experience more convenient and reduce the need to repeatedly enter or select the same information.

These cookies may be temporary or remain on a device for a defined period, depending on their purpose and configuration.

6. Analytics Cookies

Puutu may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors interact with the website. Analytics information can help us identify frequently visited pages, general traffic patterns, technical issues, and opportunities to improve the website.

Analytics information is generally used in an aggregated or analytical context to help evaluate website performance and customer experience.

7. Performance and Security Technologies

Cookies or similar technologies may also be used to support website performance, detect unusual activity, maintain security, and help protect the website from unauthorized or fraudulent activity.

These technologies may collect technical information such as browser type, device information, IP address, session information, or other data necessary to identify technical and security events.

8. Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies

Session Cookies

Session cookies are generally temporary and may be removed when you close your browser or when the relevant browsing session ends. They can help websites maintain continuity while you navigate between pages.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies may remain on your device for a specified period or until they are deleted. They may be used to remember preferences or recognize returning visitors where appropriate.

9. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are cookies placed by the website you are visiting. Puutu may use first-party cookies to support website functionality, preferences, performance, and other operational purposes.

Third-party cookies may be placed by external service providers whose services are integrated into the website. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own privacy policies and terms.

Third-party services may include technologies used for payment processing, analytics, security, website performance, or other functionality.

10. PayPal and Payment-Related Technologies

Puutu currently accepts PayPal as its available payment method. When you use PayPal during checkout, PayPal may use cookies or similar technologies as part of its payment, security, fraud prevention, authentication, or website functionality.

These technologies are controlled by PayPal and may be subject to PayPal's applicable privacy policies and cookie practices. Puutu does not control third-party cookies used directly by PayPal.

11. How Long Cookies Remain

The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose. Some cookies may expire when your browsing session ends, while others may remain for a defined period.

12. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most modern web browsers allow you to view, block, delete, or otherwise manage cookies through browser settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• Delete existing cookies.
• Block cookies from selected websites.
• Block third-party cookies.
• Allow cookies only from trusted websites.
• Receive notifications before cookies are stored.

Browser controls vary by provider and device. If you disable cookies, certain Puutu website functions may not operate correctly or may become unavailable.

13. Managing Cookies on Mobile Devices

Mobile devices and mobile browsers may provide their own privacy and cookie controls. These settings can generally be accessed through the device's browser or privacy settings.

Disabling cookies or similar technologies on a mobile device may affect website functionality in the same way as disabling them on a desktop browser.

14. Similar Technologies

In addition to traditional cookies, websites may use technologies such as pixels, tags, local storage, or similar technical mechanisms. These technologies may perform functions comparable to cookies, such as measuring website activity, maintaining functionality, or understanding visitor interactions.

15. Information Collected Through Cookies

Depending on the technology and its purpose, information associated with cookies may include technical or usage information such as:

• IP address.
• Browser type and version.
• Device type.
• Operating system.
• Pages visited.
• Time spent on pages.
• General website navigation activity.
• Referring pages or websites.
• Basic website preference information.

The information collected depends on the specific cookie or technology being used and its configuration.

16. Cookies and Personal Information

Some cookie-related information may be associated with information that can identify or relate to a visitor. Where applicable, cookie information is handled according to our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy requirements.

Puutu does not use cookies as a substitute for the information required to process an order. Information necessary to fulfill purchases, such as shipping and contact details, is handled according to our Privacy Policy.

17. Third-Party Services

Certain third-party providers integrated with the website may use cookies or similar technologies. These providers may collect technical or usage information according to their own policies.

Third-party providers may update their technologies, cookie names, expiration periods, and practices independently. Puutu may therefore update this Cookie Policy when necessary to reflect material changes to the technologies used on the website.

18. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" setting that allows users to communicate a preference regarding online tracking. Browser implementations are not standardized across all platforms.

As a result, Puutu may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track signal in the same manner.

19. Your Cookie Choices

You have several options for managing cookies. You can adjust your browser settings, delete existing cookies, or block certain types of cookies where your browser supports these controls.

20. Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy

This Cookie Policy explains the use of cookies and similar technologies on the Puutu website. Our Privacy Policy provides additional information about how personal information may be collected, used, disclosed, retained, and protected.

Customers are encouraged to review both policies to understand our approach to website technologies and personal information.

21. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Puutu may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in website functionality, technology, third-party services, business practices, or applicable legal requirements.

When this policy is updated, the revised version will be posted on this page. We recommend reviewing this page periodically to remain informed about how cookies and similar technologies may be used.
