Cookies, Web Beacons, and How We Use Them
A “cookie” is a small data file stored by your Web browser on your computer or mobile device [hard drive]. It allows us to recognize your computer (but not specifically who is using it) upon entering our site by associating the identification numbers in the cookie with other customer information you have provided us. That customer information is stored on our secured database.
We use cookies to keep track of what you have in your shopping cart for the next time you make a purchase. You can disable cookies on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. If you opt not to accept cookies, however, you may not be able to benefit from the full features of our site. Please refer to your browser’s Help area for assistance with enabling and disabling cookies.
We may contract with third parties who may use cookies and web beacons and collect information on our behalf or provide services such as credit card processing, shipping, promotional services, or data management. We call them our Customer Care Partners. These third parties are prohibited by our contract with them from sharing that information with anyone other than us or our other Customer Care Partners.
We use third party retargeting and remarketing features on our website. These technologies allow us to address internet users who previously visited the site by personalized advertising on our partners’ websites. For this purpose, the retargeting or remarketing provider will store a cookie on your hard drive. Based on the cookie technology, anonymous user details will be stored – for example, the advertising you received from us or clicked, the products you viewed, or whether you made a purchase.
You may stop the use of the retargeting and/or remarketing feature by accessing the third party providers’ cookie opt-out pages via the following links:

Children’s Privacy
Protecting children’s privacy is important to us. Our website is a general audience site. We do not knowingly collect or maintain information from a child under 13, and no part of our website is targeted to attract anyone under 13.

In addition, our privacy practices may differ from those of these other sites. If you provide personal information at one of those sites, you are subject to the privacy policy of the operator of that site, not the Artyarns Privacy Policy. Make sure you understand any website’s privacy policies before providing personal information.
Data Storage, Access, The Right to be Forgotten, and Dispute Resolution
We store personal data for different periods of time consistent with the purposes for which they were originally collected, as subsequently further authorized, or when required or allowed under applicable law.
EU residents have certain data subject rights which may be subject to limitations and/or restrictions. These rights may include the right to: (i) request access to and rectification or erasure of their personal data; (ii) obtain restriction of processing or to object to processing of their personal data; and (iii) the right to data portability. If you wish to exercise one of the above mentioned rights, please send us your request via the website at https://www.artyarns.com/fjngpu/contact-us/. Individuals in Europe may also have the right to lodge a complaint about the processing of their personal data with their local data protection authority.
Once we receive your message, Artyarns can provide you with that data or at least an explanation of why we cannot do so in the particular context, such as if responding to the request would be unreasonably expensive. If your concerns cannot be resolved, we can enter into appropriate third-party neutral dispute resolution.
