This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why they are used, the different categories of cookies that may operate on our Website, how third-party technologies may collect information, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
Welcome to Signature Bags.
At Signature Bags (“Signature Bags,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we respect your privacy and are committed to providing transparency about how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit or interact with our website, https://signaturebags.store/ (the “Website”).
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why they are used, the different categories of cookies that may operate on our Website, how third-party technologies may collect information, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
Our Website allows customers to browse handbags and accessories, select products, add items to their shopping cart, and submit order requests.
Signature Bags operates a manual invoicing and payment process. Customers do not make an immediate payment through the Website when submitting an order request. Instead, our team reviews the order, communicates with the customer, and provides an invoice and payment instructions.
Cookies may support certain Website functions during this process, including shopping cart functionality, session management, security, and remembering customer preferences.
Some cookies are essential for the Website to operate, while others may be used for analytics, functionality, or advertising if those technologies are enabled.
Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential cookies, we will request that consent before using them.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
02
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on a visitor's computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device.
These files can contain information that helps a website recognize a browser, remember certain preferences, maintain a session, or understand how visitors interact with the website.
For example, cookies may help a shopping website remember products added to a cart while a customer continues browsing.
Cookies generally do not contain the full contents of a customer's shopping order or payment information.
However, cookie identifiers and information associated with them may qualify as personal information under applicable privacy laws.
Cookies may be placed by the Website itself or by third-party services integrated into the Website.
03
Why We Use Cookies
Signature Bags may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
• Maintaining essential Website functionality.
• Supporting shopping cart operations.
• Remembering items selected during browsing.
• Managing website sessions.
• Protecting against unauthorized activity.
• Supporting checkout and order request functionality.
• Remembering selected preferences.
• Maintaining cookie consent choices.
• Identifying technical problems.
• Understanding website performance, where analytics are enabled.
• Improving navigation and customer experience.
• Measuring advertising effectiveness, where marketing technologies are enabled and legally permitted.
We aim to use cookies in a manner that is proportionate to their purpose and consistent with applicable privacy requirements.
04
Types of Cookies We May Use
Cookies may be categorized according to their purpose.
The following sections explain the main categories relevant to our Website.
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies support functions that are essential for the Website to operate or provide services requested by visitors.
Depending on our Website configuration, these cookies may support:
• Shopping cart functionality.
• Session identification.
• Checkout and order request processes.
• Website security.
• Fraud prevention.
• Load balancing.
• Essential navigation.
• Cookie consent preference storage.
For example, when a customer adds a handbag to the shopping cart, a necessary cookie or related storage technology may help maintain the cart contents as the customer moves between pages.
Without certain necessary cookies, parts of the Website may not function correctly.
Consent requirements: Strictly necessary cookies may be used without prior consent where an applicable law provides an exemption. Other privacy and transparency requirements may still apply. These cookies are not intended to track visitors for unrelated advertising purposes.
4.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies help provide enhanced Website features and remember certain preferences. Depending on the features enabled, these cookies may remember:
• Language preferences.
• Currency selections.
• Display settings.
• Previously selected preferences.
• Certain customer interface choices.
Functional cookies can improve convenience when visitors return to the Website. Some functional cookies may be essential to a specifically requested service, while others may require consent depending on their purpose and applicable law. Where consent is required, we will seek it before enabling the relevant cookies.
4.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies may help us understand how visitors interact with our Website. If analytics technologies are enabled, they may collect or generate information such as:
• Pages visited.
• Approximate geographic region.
• Device and browser information.
• Website traffic sources.
• Session activity.
• Time spent on pages.
• Navigation patterns.
• Website performance information.
• Technical errors.
• Interactions with product pages.
• Shopping cart activity.
• Order request conversion events.
This information may help us identify popular products, improve Website performance, and understand whether customers encounter difficulties during the shopping process. Analytics information may be collected using cookies, browser storage, or other tracking technologies. Where required by applicable law, non-essential analytics technologies will not be activated until the visitor provides valid consent. If a visitor declines analytics cookies, essential shopping functions should remain available.
4.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used if Signature Bags enables advertising, conversion measurement, or remarketing technologies. These technologies may help us:
• Measure advertising campaign performance.
• Understand whether advertisements lead to Website visits.
• Measure product-page interactions.
• Evaluate marketing conversions.
• Avoid repeatedly showing certain advertisements.
• Deliver more relevant advertising, where permitted.
• Understand marketing effectiveness across supported platforms.
Third-party advertising providers may use identifiers to recognize browsers or devices across different websites, subject to their own practices and applicable legal requirements. Marketing cookies are not necessary for customers to browse products or submit order requests. Where required by law, marketing and advertising cookies will only be activated after the visitor has provided consent. Signature Bags will not describe marketing cookies as active unless the corresponding technologies are actually installed and operating.
05
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Cookies can also be categorized according to who places them.
5.1 First-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by the Website domain that a visitor is using. On Signature Bags, these may support:
• Shopping cart functionality.
• Session management.
• Essential Website preferences.
• Cookie consent records.
• Security-related functions.
5.2 Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies are associated with services provided by organizations other than Signature Bags. Depending on our Website integrations, third-party technologies may be used for:
• Website analytics.
• Advertising measurement.
• Embedded content.
• Customer support tools.
• Payment services.
• Website security.
• Other external functionality.
Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies. Where required, we will provide information about relevant providers and obtain appropriate consent before non-essential third-party tracking technologies are activated.
06
Shopping Cart and Checkout Cookies
Signature Bags provides an online shopping experience in which customers can browse products, select items, and submit order requests. Cookies or related storage technologies may help maintain the shopping experience.
6.1 Shopping Cart Functionality
When customers add products to their shopping cart, the Website may store information needed to remember those selections. This may include:
• Product identifiers.
• Selected quantities.
• Product variations.
• Cart session identifiers.
• Other information necessary to maintain the cart.
These technologies help prevent cart contents from disappearing unexpectedly during browsing.
6.2 Checkout and Order Requests
During checkout, essential technologies may support:
• Form functionality.
• Session continuity.
• Security validation.
• Prevention of duplicate or unauthorized submissions.
• Reliable transmission of order request information.
6.3 Manual Payment Process
Signature Bags does not collect immediate online payments through its Website checkout under its current operating model. After an order request is submitted, our team reviews the request and may send an invoice and payment instructions through an official communication channel. Cookies used for shopping cart or checkout functionality do not themselves establish that an invoice has been paid. Payment verification is handled separately through the applicable payment process.
6.4 Order Information
Customer names, email addresses, delivery addresses, and other personal information submitted through checkout are processed according to our Privacy Policy. Such information may be stored in secure business systems rather than in cookies.
07
