Cookies Policy
Effective Date: April 19, 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how Cigar Connoisseurs (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your browser or device when you visit. They allow the site to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, items in your cart, or whether you are signed in. We also use similar technologies, such as pixels, web beacons, tags, and local storage, which we refer to collectively as “cookies” in this policy.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They enable core features such as secure log-in, shopping cart functionality, age verification, checkout, and load balancing. The site will not work properly without them, and they cannot be switched off in our systems.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make, such as your language, region, or currency, so we can provide a more personalized experience on return visits.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information such as the pages visited, time spent on the site, and any errors encountered. This helps us measure and improve the performance of our site. We may use services such as Google Analytics or similar providers for this purpose.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you, to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns, and to limit how often you see an ad. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners (for example, Meta, Google, or similar platforms) to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other websites.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third parties we work with, such as payment processors, embedded content providers (for example, social media or video platforms), analytics vendors, and advertising networks. These third parties are responsible for their own privacy and cookie practices.
3. Legal Basis and Consent
We rely on your consent to set non-essential cookies (such as analytics and marketing cookies). Where required, we will ask for your consent through a cookie banner or similar consent tool when you first visit our site. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent as they are essential to deliver the services you request.
4. How to Manage or Disable Cookies
You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:
- Use the cookie banner or preference centre on our website to accept or reject categories of cookies.
- Configure your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive an alert before a cookie is stored. Instructions are available in the help section of your browser.
- Opt out of interest-based advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (youradchoices.ca) or the Network Advertising Initiative (networkadvertising.org).
Please note that if you disable or block cookies, some parts of our website may not function properly, including age verification, your shopping cart, or the ability to complete a purchase.
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry standard for how to interpret DNT signals, our website does not currently respond to them. You can still manage your preferences using the tools described above.
6. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
