Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by sites that you visit and then retransmitted to the same sites the next time you visit. They are widely used in order to make sites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site, for example, your language preference, sign in information or usage of the site’s services and applications. They are also used to show the user products and services based on their preferences as well as to allow third-party partners to deliver relevant advertising.  

There are different types of cookies and their functions vary depending on their characteristics. They can stay on the user's computer or mobile device for different periods of time. For example, session cookies are automatically deleted when the browser is closed, whereas persistent cookies remain on the user's device for a predetermined amount of time.  

Cookies created and stored directly by us are called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies, which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the site you are visiting, usually for our advertising and marketing activity. Third party cookies, i.e. cookies from sites or web servers other than NET‑A‑PORTER's, are also used for purposes specific to these third parties. 

The cookies we and our business partners use on our online services can be grouped into the following categories:

• essential cookies, i.e. browsing or session cookies, including the essential cookie that saves your cookie preferences which are strictly necessary for the running of the site or to allow you to enjoy the content and services requested by you. These cookies are essential for the Site to function and can’t be switched off in our systems.   
• functional cookies, i.e. used to activate specific site features and a number of selected criteria (e.g. language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided;  
• analytical cookies, including third party cookies, which allow us to understand how you and other users use the Site. These cookies don’t contain any information about your identity or any personal data. Information is processed in an aggregated and anonymous form; 
• advertising or “profiling” cookies, including those from third parties, i.e. cookies aimed at creating user profiles and used in order to send you advertisements in line with your preferences expressed while browsing the web;
