1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on the Linenvessel website.
This website is operated by Linenvessel and is registered in Canada.
Website: https://www.linenvessel.com

In this Policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the company operating Linenvessel.
We handle information collected through cookies in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy requirements and relevant European data protection and electronic communications rules, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable national cookie consent requirements.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on a customer’s device when they visit a website. They may help a website remember preferences, maintain requested functions, understand website usage or support payment-related processes.
Similar technologies, such as local storage or tracking pixels, may also be used where applicable. References to cookies in this Policy include similar technologies where the context requires.
3. Types of Cookies We May Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for functions requested by the customer or for the operation of essential website features. They may support activities such as maintaining a shopping basket, remembering a checkout session or processing a payment.
Where permitted by applicable law, strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent when they meet the relevant legal criteria.
3.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may remember choices such as language or other website preferences to provide a more consistent browsing experience.
Where consent is required, these cookies will remain inactive until the customer provides consent through our cookie banner.
3.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies may help us understand how visitors use the website, including which pages are visited and whether website functions operate as expected.
Where required by law, analytics cookies will only be used after the customer has provided consent.
3.4 Third-Party Cookies Used by Stripe
Payments on our website are processed by Stripe. During payment-related activities, Stripe may use cookies or similar technologies to support payment processing, help identify unusual transaction activity and maintain the operation of its payment services.
The use, purpose and retention of Stripe-related cookies or similar technologies may depend on the payment process, the services enabled and Stripe’s applicable policies.
Where Stripe-related cookies are not strictly necessary and consent is required, they will only be used after the customer selects “Accept” on our cookie banner. Cookies that qualify as strictly necessary may be treated differently where permitted by applicable law.
For further information about Stripe’s handling of information, customers may consult Stripe’s privacy information on its official website.
4. Cookie Consent and Customer Choices
Our website displays a cookie banner to allow customers to make a choice about the use of cookies.
Non-essential cookies will only be used after the customer selects “Accept” on the cookie banner.
Customers are free to decline non-essential cookies where the banner provides that option. Declining such cookies will not prevent access to website functions that do not depend on those cookies, although some optional features may not operate as intended.
Where required, customers can change or withdraw their consent through the available cookie settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
We do not treat continued browsing or inactivity as consent where applicable law requires an affirmative choice.
5. Cookie Retention Periods
Cookies may be session-based or persistent.
- Session cookies: These generally remain on the device while the browser session is active and are removed when the session ends, subject to the browser and cookie configuration.
- Persistent cookies: These remain on the device for a defined period or until they are deleted by the customer.
The retention period depends on the cookie’s purpose, provider and configuration. Our intended retention periods are as follows:
| Cookie category | Typical retention approach |
|---|---|
| Strictly necessary cookies | For the session or for the period needed to perform the relevant function |
| Functional cookies | Only for the period needed to remember the relevant preference |
| Analytics cookies | Based on the configured analytics retention period and applicable consent requirements |
| Stripe-related cookies | According to the relevant cookie’s purpose, configuration and Stripe’s applicable information |
We do not apply a single retention period to all cookies. Where consent is required, the relevant non-essential cookies remain inactive until consent is given.
We review cookie use and retention periods periodically and adjust them where necessary to meet applicable legal requirements and the purposes for which the cookies are used.
6. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Customers can also manage or delete cookies through their browser settings. Browser controls may allow customers to block certain cookies or remove cookies already stored on their devices.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect functions such as checkout, shopping basket access or payment processing.
Browser controls do not necessarily replace the consent choices available through our website’s cookie banner.
7. Personal Data and Privacy
Some cookies or similar technologies may collect information that relates to an identifiable person or device. Where this occurs, we handle that information in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
Our Privacy Policy provides further details about the personal information we collect, the purposes for which it is used, retention, disclosures and applicable privacy rights.
