INTRODUCTION

About This Cookie Policy

WALNUTEDGE values transparency regarding the technologies used when visitors access our website.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how they may be used in connection with our online store, the different categories of cookies, and the choices available to visitors.

Our website offers furniture and storage products, bedding and linens, garden and outdoor living items, home decor and rugs, travel bags and luggage, and arts, crafts, and games.

Cookies and related technologies may support essential shopping functions, remember certain preferences, and assist with website performance and security.

The specific technologies used may depend on website configuration, enabled services, and your privacy choices. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

01 · COOKIE BASICS

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may store on a visitor's device through a web browser.

They can help a website recognize certain browser information, remember settings, maintain shopping sessions, and support other online functions.

Cookies generally contain identifiers or other technical information rather than the full contents of a website.

Depending on their purpose and configuration, cookies may remain active only during a browsing session or may be retained for a longer period.

02 · PURPOSES

Why Websites Use Cookies

Depending on the services enabled, cookies may be used for several purposes.

03 · COOKIE CATEGORIES

Types of Cookies

Cookies are commonly grouped according to their purpose. The following categories explain how different types of cookies may operate on an e-commerce website.

The descriptions above explain common cookie categories and do not establish that every category is currently active on the WALNUTEDGE website.

04 · ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Some cookies or comparable technologies may be required to provide core website functionality.

These technologies may support:

• Maintaining an active browsing or shopping session.
• Preserving shopping cart information during navigation.
• Supporting secure checkout processes.
• Helping detect suspicious or unauthorized activity.
• Maintaining essential website security controls.
• Remembering privacy choices where a consent-management function is provided.

Strictly necessary cookies are generally distinguished from optional analytics or advertising cookies because they support requested services or essential operations.

Where legally permitted, strictly necessary cookies may operate without separate consent. Their use remains subject to applicable privacy and data protection requirements.

05 · FUNCTIONAL COOKIES

Remembering Website Preferences

Functional cookies may help provide a more convenient browsing experience by remembering certain visitor selections.

• Remembering selected website preferences.
• Supporting optional personalization features.
• Maintaining certain display settings.
• Remembering available interface preferences.
• Reducing the need to repeat selected actions.

The availability of these features depends on the website configuration. If optional functional cookies are disabled, certain convenience features may not operate as expected.

06 · ANALYTICS

Analytics and Website Performance

Where analytics technologies are enabled, cookies may help website operators understand how visitors interact with website pages and features.

Depending on the technology, information may include:

• Pages visited and general navigation patterns.
• Approximate visit duration.
• General device and browser information.
• Website performance and loading information.
• Interactions with product pages or website features.
• General referral or traffic source information.

Such information may help identify technical problems, improve website usability, and evaluate overall performance.

Where consent is required for analytics cookies, those cookies should not be activated before the necessary consent has been obtained.

07 · ADVERTISING

Marketing and Advertising Technologies

Some online stores use advertising technologies to understand the effectiveness of marketing campaigns or display relevant advertisements.

If such technologies are enabled on WALNUTEDGE, they may be used for purposes such as:

• Measuring advertising campaign performance.
• Understanding interactions with advertisements.
• Evaluating general marketing effectiveness.
• Supporting audience measurement.
• Displaying relevant advertising where permitted.

Advertising technologies may involve third-party providers and may collect or receive online identifiers and browsing-related information.

Where required by applicable law, optional advertising cookies must be subject to appropriate consent or opt-out mechanisms. This section does not mean that WALNUTEDGE currently uses every advertising practice described above.

08 · FIRST-PARTY & THIRD-PARTY

Who Sets Cookies?

Third-party services may have their own privacy notices and data handling practices. The actual providers involved depend on the services enabled on the website.

09 · COOKIE DURATION

Session and Persistent Cookies

Cookies may differ in how long they remain on a device.

Cookie retention periods vary according to the specific technology and its purpose. WALNUTEDGE does not assign a single retention period to all cookies in this policy.

10 · SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Technologies Related to Cookies

Websites may use technologies other than traditional browser cookies to support functionality or understand interactions.

Depending on the services enabled, these may include:

• Browser local storage or session storage.
• Pixels or similar tracking technologies.
• Technical identifiers associated with browsing sessions.
• Security-related device or session signals.
• Other technologies used to support website functionality.

Where these technologies process personal information or require privacy choices, applicable data protection requirements continue to apply. References to cookies in this policy may include comparable technologies where appropriate.

11 · COOKIE CHOICES

Your Choices About Cookies

Visitors may have several ways to control the use of cookies and related technologies.

The availability of specific privacy controls may vary by jurisdiction, browser, and website configuration.

13 · CONSENT

Cookie Consent and Withdrawal

Some cookies may require visitor consent before they can be used, depending on their purpose and applicable law.

Where consent is required, optional cookies should be activated only after valid consent has been obtained.

Where a website consent-management mechanism is available, visitors should be able to make choices about the optional cookie categories presented.

Visitors who have provided consent may have the right to withdraw it. Withdrawal should be made available through an appropriate mechanism where required by law.

Withdrawing consent does not automatically affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.

If you cannot locate an applicable privacy control, you may contact WALNUTEDGE to ask about available options. This policy page itself does not operate as a cookie preference manager.

14 · PERSONAL INFORMATION

Cookies and Personal Data

Some cookie identifiers and related technical information may qualify as personal information under applicable privacy laws, particularly when they can be linked to an identifiable individual or device.

Depending on the technology and context, information may include:

• Online or session identifiers.

Where cookie-related information constitutes personal data, its processing is subject to applicable privacy requirements. Please review our Privacy Policy for additional information about personal data handling and relevant rights.

15 · THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

External Services and Cookie Technologies

E-commerce websites may rely on external technology providers to support hosting, payments, security, analytics, or other online functions.

Where such providers are integrated into WALNUTEDGE, they may use cookies or related technologies depending on the nature of the service.

This list describes potential service categories and does not confirm that any particular third-party provider is currently active. Where required, relevant providers and technologies should be identified through the website's actual privacy disclosures or consent-management information.

16 · INTERNATIONAL DATA HANDLING

Cross-Border Processing

Depending on the location and operation of relevant technology providers, information associated with cookies may be processed in jurisdictions other than the visitor's place of residence.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, applicable legal requirements regarding international transfers must be observed.

The relevant safeguards and rights depend on the circumstances and applicable privacy laws. Further information about personal data processing may be provided in our Privacy Policy.

The legal significance of these signals depends on the applicable jurisdiction and the processing activities involved.

20 · SECURITY

Security and Cookie-Related Information

Cookie-related information should be handled with appropriate safeguards consistent with the nature of the information and applicable legal requirements.

Depending on the website configuration, security-related technologies may help protect browsing sessions, reduce unauthorized activity, and support transaction integrity.

However, no online system can guarantee absolute security against every possible threat.

Visitors should keep their browsers updated, protect their devices, and avoid sharing account credentials or verification codes.
