4. Essential Cookies
Some cookies may be necessary for the website to function properly. These cookies can support important features such as page navigation, shopping cart functionality, checkout, account-related functions, and security.

Functional cookies may help the website remember information that makes your visit more convenient. For example, they may help retain certain preferences or settings associated with your browsing session.

6. Analytics and Performance Cookies
Nichewind may use analytics or performance technologies to better understand how visitors use the website. Information collected through these technologies may help us identify popular pages, understand navigation patterns, monitor website performance, and improve the overall shopping experience.
Analytics information is generally evaluated in an aggregated or statistical manner to help us understand website activity rather than to identify individual customers through the information itself.
7. Third-Party Cookies
Some services integrated into our website may place or access cookies through your browser. These services may include technology providers that support website functionality, analytics, security, payment processing, or other online services.
Third-party cookies are controlled by the respective third-party provider and may be subject to that provider's own privacy and cookie practices.
For example, when you complete a purchase through PayPal, PayPal may use cookies or similar technologies as part of its payment and security systems. Nichewind does not control the cookie practices of independent third-party services.
