Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use a variety of technologies to help us better understand how you use Knitted for You.com (the "Site"), Knitted for You's mobile applications (the "Apps") and our services (collectively, "Knitted for You"). Knitted for You adheres to the Digital Advertising Alliance's Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising. As part of our commitment to upholding a high standard of transparency in our Privacy Policy and practices, we've created this guide to explain the tracking technologies we use on the Site.

Types of tracking technologies

There are three common types of tracking technologies used on Knitted for You:

1. Cookies: This is a small data file sent from a server to your web browser or mobile device that is stored on your browser cache or mobile device. You can configure your browser's settings to reflect your preference to accept or reject cookies (see Managing Cookies below).
2. Clear gifs, web beacons, web bugs: These are tiny graphics with a unique identifier similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to your personally identifiable information.
3. Flash cookies, local shared objects (LSOs): Flash cookies are used to collect and store information, but differ from browser cookies in the amount, type and manner in which data is stored. Knitted for You uses Flash cookies in order to facilitate services such as fraud prevention. Knitted for You does not tie the information gathered by Flash cookies to your personally identifiable information. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies click here.

Tracking technologies have two different lifespans:

1. Persistent means it remembers certain information about your preferences for viewing the site, and allows Knitted for You to recognize you each time you return. Persistent cookies are stored on your browser cache or mobile device until you choose to delete them.
2. Session, on the other hand, is specific to a particular visit to the site, to carry information as you view different pages on Knitted for You so you don’t have to re-enter information. Session cookies expire and delete themselves automatically when you leave the Site or close your web browser.

Purposes

Knitted for You uses tracking technologies for a few general purposes:

1. Strictly necessary: Vital to ensuring that Knitted for You works properly for visitors and members.
2. Performance: Help us understand how the Site or the Apps are functioning so that we can improve our services.
3. Functionality: Retain your personal preferences as you use the Site or the Apps to enhance your experience.

Knitted for You uses cookies to record what purchases members and visitors are interested in making and to make it easier for you to browse the Site whenever you visit.

Knitted for You sometimes partners with third-party services who may use various tracking technologies to provide certain services or features, including targeted online marketing. These technologies allow a partner to recognize your computer or mobile device each time you visit Knitted for You, but do not allow access to personally identifiable information from Knitted for You. Knitted for You does not have access or control over these third-party technologies, and they are not covered by our Privacy Policy.

Third-parties may choose to include Knitted for You widgets on their websites. When you load a website that has chosen to include our widgets, we receive analytics information through a cookie that may be used to enhance our data or to improve our services.
