3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites remember information about your visit and provide necessary functionality.

WooCommerce Cookies

WooCommerce may use cookies to:

  • Keep track of items in your shopping cart
  • Recognize changes to cart contents
  • Maintain customer sessions
  • Support account login
  • Remember certain customer or store preferences
  • Provide functionality necessary for checkout and store operation

Other Cookies

WordPress, WooCommerce, Square, Jetpack, Omnisend, website security tools, caching tools, embedded content, and other website features may use cookies or similar technologies when those features are enabled.

You can usually control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Blocking essential cookies may prevent features such as the shopping cart, account login, or checkout from functioning correctly.

4. Website Analytics – Jetpack Stats

We use Jetpack Stats, provided by Automattic, to understand how visitors use the Twisted Teddy Apparel website and to monitor general website performance.

Jetpack Stats may process information such as:

If a visitor is logged into WordPress.com, certain WordPress.com account identifiers may also be processed by Automattic.

Twisted Teddy Apparel generally receives aggregated statistics such as numbers of visitors and page views rather than information identifying individual visitors.

Automattic states that identifiable Jetpack Stats logs may be retained for a limited period for purposes of operating the Stats service.

We use this information to understand website usage, identify popular content, troubleshoot website performance, and improve the customer experience.

5. Social Media Connections – Jetpack Social

We use Jetpack Social, provided by Automattic, to connect Twisted Teddy Apparel with social media accounts such as Facebook and Instagram and to assist with publishing or sharing website content to those platforms.

Jetpack Social may process information associated with our connected social accounts, website connection, and publishing activity.

Social media platforms may independently collect information when you visit, interact with, or follow links to their services.

Your use of Facebook, Instagram, or other social media platforms is governed by the privacy practices of those services.

Payments on our website are processed through Square.

When you make a payment, Square may collect and process information necessary to complete and secure the transaction, including:

Twisted Teddy Apparel does not intentionally store your complete payment-card number or card security code on our website.

Square processes information according to its own privacy practices.

However, no website, electronic transmission, network, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
