Last updated: June 1, 2025  ·  Effective date: June 1, 2025

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences, understand how you use it, and provide a better, more personalised experience. Cookies cannot execute code or deliver viruses, and they do not contain personal data on their own.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary

Always Active

These cookies are essential for kot-wedding to function properly. Without them, services you have asked for — such as logging in, adding items to your cart, or completing a booking — cannot be delivered.

  • Session authentication and login state
  • Shopping cart and booking state
  • Security and fraud prevention (CSRF tokens)
  • Cookie consent preference storage
📊

Analytics & Performance

Optional

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are most popular, where users come from, and how they navigate. Data is aggregated and anonymised.

  • Google Analytics 4 (page views, session duration, traffic sources)
  • Hotjar (heatmaps and user session recordings, anonymised)
  • Performance monitoring (page load times, error rates)
🎯

Marketing & Advertising

Optional

These cookies enable us and our advertising partners to show you relevant wedding planning ads across other websites and social platforms based on your interests and browsing behaviour.

  • Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing
  • Meta Pixel (Facebook / Instagram ads)
  • Pinterest Tag (wedding inspiration retargeting)
  • Affiliate and partner referral tracking

3. Why We Use Cookies

  • To keep you securely signed in and remember your planning preferences.
  • To ensure our vendor marketplace, cart, and checkout work correctly.
  • To measure the effectiveness of our content and improve site navigation.
  • To serve you relevant wedding-related ads rather than generic ones.
  • To comply with legal obligations and detect fraudulent activity.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies; they are governed by the privacy policies of the respective third parties. Key partners include:

5. How to Manage or Disable Cookies

You have several options to control cookies:

Our Cookie Banner

When you first visit kot-wedding, our consent banner lets you accept all cookies or choose only strictly necessary ones. You can revisit this choice at any time via the Cookie Settings link in our footer.

Browser Settings

All modern browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies via their settings menus. Blocking all cookies will impair site functionality, including login and cart features.

Google Analytics Opt-Out

Install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) to prevent data collection across sites using GA.

Ad Network Opt-Outs

Visit the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info) or Your Online Choices (youronlinechoices.com) to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating networks.

6. Your Consent

By clicking "Accept All Cookies" on our consent banner, you consent to the use of analytics and marketing cookies as described in this policy. Strictly necessary cookies are deployed without consent as they are required for the site to function. You may withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time without affecting lawfulness of prior processing.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect new technology, legal requirements, or changes to our services. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be communicated via a notice on our site or by email if you have an account with us.
