Cookies are small text files that websites may place on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your browser or device and retain certain information between visits or during a browsing session.
Cookies can make websites more convenient by remembering information that has already been provided, supporting navigation, maintaining shopping sessions, and helping website operators understand how visitors interact with different pages.
In addition to traditional cookies, websites may use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, local storage, or other identifiers. Throughout this policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer generally to these technologies where appropriate.

4. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are used to support core functions of the website. Without certain essential technologies, parts of the shopping experience may not operate as intended.
These technologies may support functions such as maintaining a shopping cart, navigating between pages, remembering information during a checkout session, and maintaining necessary website security.
Important: Disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the website, including shopping cart features, checkout functions, account-related features, or other parts of the online store.
5. Shopping Cart and Checkout Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to maintain information associated with your shopping session. This can help ensure that products you add to your cart remain associated with your current browsing session.
These technologies may also support the checkout process by allowing the website to maintain necessary session information as you move through different stages of an order.
6. Preference Cookies
Preference cookies may help the website remember certain selections or settings so that you do not have to repeatedly provide the same information during your browsing experience.
The specific preferences remembered may vary depending on the technologies active on the website and the features you use.
7. Analytics Cookies
Outtacity may use analytics-related technologies to understand general patterns of website activity. This information can help us identify which pages are useful to visitors, understand navigation behavior, and recognize areas where the website could be improved.
Analytics information may include general information such as pages visited, approximate interaction patterns, browser information, device type, referring pages, or other technical information associated with website usage.
Analytics information is generally used to understand website performance and visitor interaction rather than to identify an individual personally.
8. Security-Related Technologies
Cookies or similar technologies may be used to support website security. These technologies can help identify unusual activity, protect website functions, and assist in maintaining a safer shopping environment.
Security-related information may be evaluated alongside other technical information when necessary to investigate potentially unauthorized activity or protect the website and its customers.
Supporting a Safer Shopping Experience
Some cookies may contribute to security controls that help protect the website, checkout process, and customer interactions. We may retain or use these technologies when they are reasonably necessary for website security and fraud prevention.
9. Third-Party Cookies
Some services used by an online store may place cookies or use similar technologies directly through your browser. These third-party technologies may support services such as payment processing, website analytics, security, or other functions.
Third-party providers operate under their own privacy practices and policies. Outtacity does not control every technology used by an independent third-party provider.
When you interact with a third-party service, such as PayPal during checkout, that provider may process information according to its own applicable terms and privacy practices.
10. PayPal and Cookies
Outtacity currently uses PayPal as its available payment method. When you proceed through a PayPal payment process, PayPal may use cookies or similar technologies as part of its own services, security controls, authentication processes, and website functionality.
Any cookies or technologies controlled directly by PayPal are subject to PayPal's own policies and practices. Outtacity does not control the cookies that PayPal may use on its own services.
11. Session Cookies
Session cookies are generally temporary technologies that remain active during a browsing session and may expire when the browser session ends.
These technologies can help maintain continuity while you move between pages or interact with functions such as your shopping cart or checkout.
12. Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies may remain on your device for a defined period after you close your browser. They may be used to remember certain preferences or recognize a browser when it returns to the website.
The duration of a persistent cookie depends on its purpose, configuration, and the service that places it.
13. Cookie Duration
Different cookies may remain active for different periods. Some expire when a browsing session ends, while others may remain for a longer period according to their intended purpose.
| Duration Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Session | Generally expires when the applicable browsing session ends. |
| Short-Term | Remains for a limited period to support a particular website function or preference. |
| Longer-Term | May remain on the device for a defined period to remember preferences or support analytics and other functions. |
14. Cookies and Personal Information
Cookies do not necessarily contain information that directly identifies an individual. However, information collected through cookies may sometimes be associated with other information that can relate to a customer or browsing activity.
How information is handled depends on the purpose of the technology, the service involved, and the applicable processing activity. For additional information about how Outtacity handles personal information, please review our Privacy Policy.
15. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most modern web browsers provide settings that allow you to control or restrict cookies. You may be able to block cookies, delete stored cookies, or receive notifications when cookies are being used.
Browser controls vary by device and browser. If you choose to restrict cookies, certain website functions may not work correctly.
- Review your browser's privacy or cookie settings.
- Delete previously stored cookies when appropriate.
- Block certain categories of cookies if your browser supports this option.
- Adjust settings for individual websites where supported.
16. What Happens If You Disable Cookies?
Disabling cookies does not necessarily prevent you from visiting the Outtacity website. However, certain features may become unavailable or may not function as expected.
Depending on which cookies are disabled, you may experience issues with shopping cart functionality, checkout sessions, preferences, website navigation, or other interactive features.
Recommendation: If you experience difficulty adding products to your cart, completing checkout, or navigating the website after changing browser cookie settings, consider restoring the settings that allow essential website cookies.
17. Managing Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies may be controlled through the settings offered by the relevant provider or through your browser. Because third-party services operate independently, the controls and procedures available to you may vary.
If you use PayPal or another external service during your shopping experience, that provider may have its own cookie and privacy controls that are separate from Outtacity.
18. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers provide a "Do Not Track" or similar privacy preference. Because browser implementations and third-party services may differ, the handling of such signals may vary.
Where appropriate, Outtacity will consider available browser and privacy controls in accordance with the technologies and services used on the website.
19. Cookies and Website Performance
Certain cookies and related technologies may help us understand website performance. This can include identifying technical problems, understanding how visitors navigate the store, and determining whether particular website features are functioning effectively.
Information obtained for these purposes may help us improve page structure, navigation, functionality, and the overall shopping experience.
20. Cookies and Website Improvements
Understanding general website usage allows Outtacity to evaluate how customers interact with different areas of the online store. This information may be considered when improving product discovery, navigation, checkout usability, and website performance.
Cookie-related information may therefore contribute to ongoing improvements without requiring us to identify every individual visitor.
21. Changes to This Cookie Policy
Outtacity may update this Cookie Policy when our website, technologies, services, or operational practices change. We may also update the policy when necessary to provide clearer information about how cookies and similar technologies are used.
