Kilwins Chocolates Franchise, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies on the website located at
www.kilwins.com (the “Website”).
By continuing to browse the Website, you agree to our use of cookies, subject to your consent preferences.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files used to store small pieces of information. They are stored on your device
when a website loads in your browser. These cookies help ensure that the Website functions properly,
enhance security, provide a better user experience, and analyze performance to identify what works
and where improvements are needed.
Cookies are either “session” cookies, which are deleted when you end your browser session, or
“persistent” cookies, which remain until their deletion by you or the party who served the cookie.
How do we use cookies?
Like most online services, our website uses both first-party and third-party cookies for various purposes.
First-party cookies are set directly by the domain you are visiting, in this case, by our Website.
Because they are set by us, only our Website can read them. We use first-party cookies for a range
of purposes, including ensuring the site functions correctly, remembering your preferences, and
collecting analytics data about how you use the site.
Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. When our Website includes
content or services provided by external partners – such as analytics providers, advertising networks,
or social-media platforms – those partners may place cookies on your device through our Website.
Third-party cookies allow those partners to recognize your browser across different websites, which
can be used for purposes such as measuring advertising effectiveness, building interest-based profiles,
and delivering targeted advertisements. You can find more information about the individual cookies
we use and the purposes for which we use them below.
