Effective date: May 12, 2021

BILLY Footwear (“us”, “we”, or “our”) uses cookies on www.billyfootwear.ca (the “Site”) as detailed below.

Our Cookie Policy is part of our Privacy Policy and explains what cookies are, how we use cookies, how third parties we may partner with may use cookies on the Site, and your choices regarding cookies.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a small text file that uniquely identifies your device. Cookies are sent to and stored on browser files on your device when you visit a website, including ours. Cookies are set and read by web beacons on websites. Web beacons, or "gifs", are electronic images that may be used on websites and in our emails. We and third parties use web beacons to deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness and to tell if an email has been opened and acted upon.

On our website and on third party sites, third party cookies can be set and read by third party web beacons. We and third parties use these cookies and other technologies to collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services. We and third parties also share the information we collect or infer with third parties for purposes described in this Cookie Policy and in our Privacy Policy. Cookies can be “persistent” (last for a longer timeframe) or “session” cookies (only useful during your session on that specific site).

Do we and others use other tracking technologies?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We and third parties may use other, similar technologies from time to time, such as:

IP Address. Internet Protocol addresses (IP Address) can be used to identify your devices connected to the Internet and to connect your activities across multiple devices. IP addresses are used to determine your general location including region, city, state, and country and the Internet service provider (ISP) you use.

Mobile Device IDs. Mobile device IDs uniquely identify your mobile device and can be used for analytics on our apps and advertising on third-party apps that serve our ads.

Flash Cookies (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs"). Flash cookies are used by the authors of files that are read by Adobe® Flash® Player and the websites hosting those files (learn more about Flash Player and LSOs at https://www.adobe.com/privacy/policies/flash-player.html).
