Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 1, 2023
1. About this Policy
1.1 This Cookie Policy ("Policy") explains how SSENSE (“SSENSE”, "we", "us", and "ours") use cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website at www.ssense.com ("Website") or use our mobile application ("App"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
1.2 Please take the time to read this Policy carefully. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us as described in the "How to contact us" section below.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or use a mobile application. Cookies are widely used by website or mobile application owners in order to make their websites or mobile applications work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
3. What are the different types of cookies?
Cookies have many different features, such as allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. They can also help ensure that the advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
3.1 “First party cookie” and “Third party cookie” depend on the entity setting the cookies and processing the data collected:
- "First party cookie” (or internal cookie): cookies directly set by the websites or app owners (in this case, SSENSE). These cookies allow SSENSE to collect analytics data, remember language settings, and perform other useful functions that provide a good user experience.
- “Third party cookie”: cookies set by parties other than the website or app owner (partners of SSENSE). Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website or mobile application (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these “third party cookies” can recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits the website or uses the mobile application in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
3.2 Cookies can be either temporary (session cookies) or persistent (permanent cookies)
- “Session cookies”: stored in your device's temporary memory – not on your hard drive – while you're browsing a website. They are automatically discarded when you close the browser.
- “Permanent cookies”: stored for a fixed period on your browser as part of the response from a Website's server.
3.3 "Essential cookies” (Strictly necessary Cookies) and “Non-essential cookies”
- "Essential cookies": Strictly necessary Cookies are exempt from your consent. They are required for the website or mobile application to provide the basic functions of the website or mobile application (if cookies are disabled, the service will not work). They are typically essential first-party cookies, but not all first-party cookies are strictly necessary cookies.
- “Non-essential cookies”: any cookies that do not fall within the definition of essential cookies, such as cookies used to analyse your behaviour on our website ('analytical' cookies) or cookies used to display advertisements to you ('advertising' cookies).
3.4 “Opt-out cookies” and “Opt-in cookies”
- “Opt-in cookies”: We require your consent when you visit SSENSE website to store non-essential cookies on your device.
- “Opt-out cookies”: you can reject the request or withdraw your consent later at any time you wish.
3. How long do cookies last?
Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are 'session cookies', which means they only exist when your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close your browser or quit the app. Other cookies are 'persistent cookies', meaning they survive after your browser or app is closed and can be used by websites or apps to recognize your computer when you re-open your browser or app later. The length of the cookies used on our Website(s) and our App is explained in more detail in the table below.

5. What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our Website(s) or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
6. What about targeted advertising?
6.1 Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website or App. These companies may use information about your visits to this Website or App and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements.
6.2 This can be accomplished by them using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this Website or App or other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you.
6.3 The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other personally identifying details unless you choose to provide these.
6.4 All cookies for targeted advertising purposes that may be placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit our Website or App are listed in the table in section 4.2 above.
7. How can I control cookies?
7.1 You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject specific cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences in the cookie banner or in your browsers settings.
7.2 You can also set or amend your web browser controls or device preferences to accept or refuse some cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Website or App though your access to some functionality and areas of our Website or App may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.
7.3 In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.
8. The cookies that were sent in the past
If you have disabled one or more cookies, we can always use information collected by these cookies before the deactivation. However, we will cease to collect information via the opted-out cookie.
