Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Meridia Ltd, operating as Starloom (“Meridia”, “Starloom”, “we”, “us” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at getstarloom.com and use our services (the “Services”).

We use cookies and similar technologies to help our site function, understand how it is used, and support our marketing. This Policy works together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal information more broadly.

By continuing to use the Services, and where required by law by clicking “Accept” on our banner, you agree to the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this Policy.

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies help websites recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.

We also use similar technologies, such as:

• Local storage and session storage in your browser
• Tracking pixels or tags that help us understand whether certain pages, emails, or ads have been seen or interacted with

In this Policy, we refer to all of these together as “cookies” for simplicity.

3. Types of cookies we use

We use the following categories of cookies:

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of the site and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as:

• Navigating between pages
• Accessing secure areas of the site
• Managing your cart or checkout process
• Remembering basic settings needed to provide the Services

Without these cookies, parts of the Services may not work properly.

3.2 Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how people use our site so we can improve it. For example, they may:

• Count visits and traffic sources
• Show us which pages are popular and which may need improvement
• Help us understand how visitors move around the site

The information collected by these cookies is typically aggregated and used to measure and improve the performance of the Services rather than to identify you personally.

3.3 Functional cookies

These cookies allow the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as:

• Remembering your preferences (for example, language or region)
• Remembering that you have already seen or dismissed certain notices or banners
• Making your experience smoother when you return

If you disable these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising and marketing cookies

These cookies help us and our partners:

• Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
• Understand how users arrive at our site from ads
• Show, or help our partners show, more relevant Starloom ads to you on other websites or apps

The information used for these purposes may relate to how you interact with our site and similar sites over time. Some of this activity may be considered “cross-context behavioral advertising” or “sharing” under California law.

We do not sell your personal information for money. However, the use of certain advertising or marketing cookies may be considered “sharing” of personal information for advertising purposes, as described in our Privacy Policy.

4. Why we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• To run and secure the Services (strictly necessary cookies)
• To measure and improve the performance and usability of the site (performance/analytics cookies)
• To remember your choices and provide a smoother, more personalized experience (functional cookies)
• To measure and optimize our marketing, and to show Starloom ads that may be more relevant to you (advertising/marketing cookies)

Cookies help us keep Starloom fast, stable, and aligned with what our users actually need and respond to.

5. How you can control cookies

You have several options to manage cookies and similar technologies.

5.1 Browser settings

Most web browsers allow you to:

• View which cookies are on your device
• Delete cookies
• Block cookies from being placed on your device
• Block cookies from specific websites

The exact steps vary by browser, but you can usually find these settings under “Options,” “Settings,” or “Privacy and security.” If you block or delete cookies, parts of the Services may not work as intended.

5.2 Cookie banner and preferences

In certain regions, including where required by law, you will see a cookie banner when you first visit our site. This banner gives you the option to accept or reject all non-essential cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies are always on, because the site cannot function properly without them. Other categories (such as analytics and marketing cookies) are only used with your consent in regions where this is required.

You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Your Privacy Choices” link in our website footer, or by using the button below:

5.3 Email and marketing controls

For email-based marketing (once we offer it):

• You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in the email; or
• You can contact us at support@getstarloom.com and ask to be removed from marketing communications.

This does not directly control cookies, but it manages how we contact you for promotional reasons.

6. Cookies, advertising, and California residents

As described in our Privacy Policy, we do not sell your personal information for money.

However, some cookies and similar technologies used for advertising and analytics may be considered “sharing” your personal information for “cross-context behavioral advertising” under California law.

If you are a California resident, you have the right to direct us not to “sell” or “share” your personal information for these purposes.

You can:

• Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies;
• Enable Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser, which we honor automatically to opt you out of marketing cookies;
• Use our “Your Privacy Choices” link in the website footer to manage cookie preferences, including opting out of analytics and marketing cookies; and
• Contact us at support@getstarloom.com and indicate that you wish to opt out of the “selling” or “sharing” of personal information for advertising purposes.

For more details on your rights as a California resident, please see the “Additional information for California residents” section of our Privacy Policy.

7. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add new tools or change how we use cookies. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.

If the changes are significant, we may also show a notice on the site or take other steps to let you know.

Your continued use of the Services after we post changes to this Cookie Policy means you accept those changes. If you do not agree with the updated Policy, you should adjust your cookie settings and stop using the Services.
