1. SUMMARY

This cookies policy explains what cookies are and how Sofa.com Ltd (“we”, “us” or “our”) uses them on www.sofa.com (our “platform”) to distinguish you from other users. We encourage you to read the policy in full so that you can understand what information we collect using cookies and how that information is used.

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES OR SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES?

Cookies (or similar technologies) are text files (not quite as exciting as the cookies with chocolate chips in, we’re afraid!), containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your browsing device (such as a computer or smartphone) when you visit a platform. Cookies can be recognised by the platform that downloaded them — or other platforms that use the same cookies. This helps platforms know if the browsing device has visited them before so we can improve your shopping experience.

3. WHAT ARE COOKIES USED FOR?

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like helping us understand how our platform is being used, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving your journey by making the browsing experience as comfortable as our sofas! Cookies can also help ensure information and advertising you see online is more relevant to you and your interests.
