Cookie Policy

Kohl and Blush ("we," "us," or "our") uses a limited number of cookies and browser storage technologies on kohlandblush.com to operate our site, remember your preferences, and understand how our makeup and cosmetics reviews are being read. This policy explains what these technologies are, which ones we use, and how you can control or withdraw your consent at any time.

What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. Local storage (specifically, localStorage) is a similar browser-based technology that allows a website to store small pieces of information on your device, but without an automatic expiry date and without being sent back to the server with every request. Both are commonly used to remember settings, preferences, and choices you've made while browsing.

How We Use Cookies and Local Storage

We keep our use of tracking technology minimal and transparent. Here is exactly what we use:

1. Consent Preference Storage (localStorage)

When you first visit kohlandblush.com, a cookie consent banner appears asking whether you accept or decline non-essential cookies, such as analytics. Your choice ("accepted" or "declined") is saved directly in your browser's localStorage. This allows us to remember your preference so the banner does not reappear on every page load or future visit.

• This storage item contains only your consent status — it does not track your browsing activity.
• It is not a cookie in the traditional sense and is not transmitted to our servers; it stays in your browser.
• If you clear your browser's site data, the banner will reappear and ask for your preference again.

2. Analytics Cookies (Only If You Accept)

If you click "Accept" on our consent banner, we enable analytics cookies to help us understand how visitors use our site — for example, which beauty product reviews, swatches, or buying guides are most popular, how long readers stay on a page, and which device types are used. This data helps us improve our content and site performance.

• Analytics cookies are only set after you give consent. If you decline, no analytics cookies are placed, and no analytics data is collected via cookies.
• These cookies are provided by a third-party analytics service (see below) and may involve identifiers that help distinguish unique visits, but they are not used by us to personally identify you by name or contact details.

3. Essential Site Functionality

Some strictly necessary storage may be used to keep the site functioning correctly, such as remembering display settings or ensuring secure page loading. These are not tracking cookies, are not optional, and do not require consent under applicable cookie laws, as they are essential to delivering the site you requested.

Third-Party Cookies

When you accept analytics cookies, a third-party analytics provider (such as Google Analytics or a comparable service) may place its own cookies on your device to collect anonymized or pseudonymized usage statistics. These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which govern how they handle any data collected through their cookies. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of our analytics provider for further details on their specific data practices.

We do not use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or cross-site tracking cookies on kohlandblush.com.

How to Withdraw or Change Your Consent

You are always in control of your cookie preferences. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by doing any of the following:

• Clear your browser storage: Go into your browser's settings and clear cookies and site data (including localStorage) specifically for kohlandblush.com. This will remove your saved consent choice and any analytics cookies, and the consent banner will appear again on your next visit so you can make a fresh choice.
• Adjust your browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies entirely, or to receive a notification before a cookie is placed. Refer to your browser's help documentation (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.) for step-by-step instructions, as these vary by browser and device.
• Use private or incognito browsing: Browsing in a private window will prevent long-term storage of cookies and localStorage data for that session.

Please note that clearing your browser data will reset your consent preference to "not yet chosen," meaning you will need to make a new selection (accept or decline) the next time you visit.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" feature. Because there is no common industry standard for how to respond to these signals, our site currently does not respond differently when such a signal is detected. Your use of the consent banner remains the primary way to control cookie behavior on kohlandblush.com.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or for legal and regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date, so we encourage you to review it periodically.
