Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
Drapeandlayer uses cookies and similar technologies on its website to support essential website functions, remember visitor preferences and, where consent has been given, understand website usage.
This Cookie Policy explains the types of cookies that may be used, their retention periods, how consent is managed and how third-party cookies associated with payment processing are handled.
We handle personal data in accordance with applicable Singapore data protection requirements and relevant European data protection and electronic communications rules.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on a visitor’s device when a website is accessed. They may help a website maintain a browsing session, remember selected preferences or support functions associated with an online purchase.
Cookies used on our website may include:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Support functions requested by visitors, such as maintaining a shopping basket or remembering a cookie preference.
- Functional cookies: Remember selected preferences to provide a consistent browsing experience.
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand website visits and general usage patterns, where such cookies are enabled and consent has been obtained.
- Payment-related third-party cookies: May be used in connection with payment processing services provided by Stripe.
The cookies used on a particular visit depend on the website functions and services being accessed.
3. Cookie Consent and Visitor Choices
Our website displays a cookie consent banner to explain the use of cookies and allow visitors to make a choice.
Non-essential cookies will be used only after the visitor has given consent by clicking the “Accept” button on our cookie banner. Continuing to browse the website, without taking an affirmative action, will not be treated as consent to non-essential cookies.
Where available, visitors may reject non-essential cookies or adjust their preferences through the cookie settings interface.
Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where permitted by applicable law and where they are genuinely required to provide a service expressly requested by the visitor or to operate the website’s essential functions.
Visitors may withdraw or change their consent through the available cookie settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that lawfully took place before the withdrawal.
4. Cookie Retention Periods
Cookies are retained for periods appropriate to their purpose. We apply the following retention periods to the corresponding categories used on our website:
| Cookie category | Purpose | Retention period |
|---|---|---|
| Essential session cookies | Maintain a browsing session and support requested website functions | Until the browser session ends, unless a shorter period applies |
| Cookie consent preference | Record the visitor’s cookie choice and avoid repeatedly displaying the same consent request | Up to 6 months |
| Functional preference cookies | Remember selected website preferences | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics cookies | Measure general website usage, where enabled with consent | Up to 13 months |
| Stripe-related cookies | Support applicable payment processing functions | Varies by cookie and service; see Section 5 |
These periods are the retention limits adopted for the relevant cookie categories. A shorter period will apply where the configured cookie expires earlier. Cookies will not be retained beyond their stated period through our website’s cookie settings.
Where a cookie is no longer required, it should expire or be removed in accordance with its configured lifetime. Visitors may also remove stored cookies through their browser settings.
5. Third-Party Cookies and Stripe
Drapeandlayer uses Stripe as its payment processing service provider.
When Stripe services are used during checkout or payment processing, Stripe may place or access cookies and similar technologies associated with its services. Depending on the applicable service, these technologies may support payment functionality, transaction processing and payment-related risk assessment.
Stripe-related cookies are subject to the applicable Stripe cookie and privacy documentation. Their retention periods vary according to the individual cookie and the purpose for which it is used. Further information is available in Stripe’s Cookie Policy.
Our cookie consent arrangements are intended to ensure that non-essential cookies are not activated before consent is given. Any cookies that are strictly necessary for a payment function expressly requested by the visitor will be treated in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.
Cookies set by other external services, if used on our website, are subject to the relevant provider’s applicable policies and the consent requirements that apply to those cookies.
6. Personal Data and Privacy
Information collected through cookies may include browser details, device information, session identifiers, website preferences and browsing events. Depending on the cookie and its function, this information may constitute personal data.
Drapeandlayer uses such information only for the purposes disclosed in this Policy and in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Personal data will be retained only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose or as required for applicable legal and business obligations. When the information is no longer required, it will be deleted or de-identified as appropriate.
Further details about the collection, use, disclosure and retention of personal data are available in our Privacy Policy.
7. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Visitors may use their browser settings to view, restrict or delete cookies stored on their devices.
Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences or affect certain website functions, including the retention of shopping basket information or previously selected settings.
Browser controls do not necessarily replace the cookie consent options provided on our website. Where available, visitors should use our cookie settings to review or change their consent choices.
8. Legal and Regulatory Compliance
This Policy is intended to operate in accordance with applicable Singapore personal data protection requirements and relevant European rules governing cookies, electronic communications and personal data.
Where consent is required, it must be freely given, informed, specific and expressed through a clear affirmative action. Visitors must also have a practical means of withdrawing consent.
Nothing in this Policy limits any rights available to individuals under applicable data protection law.
