This Cookie Policy explains how KOBU Inc., operating the Niva brand and the website kobugroup.com (the “Site”), uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with the Site.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files and similar technologies that are stored on or accessed from your device when you visit a website. They can help a website operate properly, remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the website, and, where permitted, support marketing and advertising activities.
We may also use technologies such as pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and similar identifiers that perform functions similar to cookies. In this policy, we refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies.”
2. How We Use Cookies
We may use cookies for the following purposes:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Site and its core functions to operate. They may be used to:
- maintain your shopping cart and checkout session;
- process and secure transactions;
- remember information necessary to complete an order;
- maintain website security;
- detect and prevent fraud or abuse; and
- support other essential website functions.
Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of the Site, they generally cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tools without affecting certain Site functions.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced functionality, such as preferences relating to language, region or other Site settings.
Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before placing non-essential functional cookies.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
We may use analytics and performance technologies to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve its functionality, content and performance.
This may include information such as:
- pages visited;
- approximate location or other general geographic information;
- browser and device information;
- referring websites;
- time spent on pages; and
- interactions with the Site.
We may use services such as Jetpack, WordPress.com or other analytics providers for these purposes.
Where required by applicable law, these technologies will only be used after you provide the appropriate consent.
Marketing and Advertising Technologies
Where applicable, we may use cookies, pixels or similar technologies in connection with email marketing, social media, advertising and campaign measurement.
These technologies may help us understand whether marketing communications or advertisements are viewed or interacted with, measure campaign effectiveness, and provide or evaluate advertising.
Depending on the technology and applicable law, these activities may involve third-party providers such as Brevo, Meta or other advertising and marketing platforms.
Where consent is required, we will obtain consent before activating non-essential marketing or advertising technologies.
3. Third-Party Services
Some cookies and similar technologies may be placed or accessed by third parties that provide services to us.
Depending on the services active on the Site, these may include:
- WordPress.com / Automattic / Jetpack — website hosting, security, performance and analytics;
- WooCommerce — e-commerce functionality and checkout;
- Payment processors — payment processing and transaction security;
- Chit Chats Canada or other shipping providers — shipping, delivery and order-tracking functionality;
- Brevo — email marketing and campaign measurement;
- Meta and other social media or advertising platforms — advertising, campaign measurement and related functionality.
Third-party providers may collect, use or process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms. We do not control the privacy practices of third parties.
The specific third-party technologies used on the Site may change from time to time as we add, remove or update services.
4. Cookie Preferences and Consent
Where required by applicable law, we will provide a mechanism that allows you to accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies and similar technologies.
You may also manage or delete cookies through your browser or device settings.
Depending on your browser or device, you may be able to:
- view cookies stored on your device;
- delete existing cookies;
- block cookies from particular websites;
- block third-party cookies; or
- configure your browser to notify you before cookies are placed.
Please note that disabling or blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the Site, including shopping cart, checkout and account-related functions.
Where applicable, withdrawing consent to optional cookies will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
5. Do Not Track and Similar Signals
Some browsers and devices provide “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signals.
Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to all such signals, the Site may not respond to every browser or device-based signal in the same manner.
Where required by applicable law, we will honour applicable privacy preference signals in accordance with our legal obligations.
6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to:
- the cookies and technologies we use;
- our website or services;
- third-party providers;
- applicable privacy laws; or
- our privacy practices.
When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this policy.
