Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website.

They allow a website to recognize your device, remember certain information, maintain functionality, and improve the browsing experience.

We may also use similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage, or other technologies that perform similar functions.

They may support functions such as:

  • Shopping cart functionality

  • Checkout

  • Login or account functionality

  • Security

  • Payment processing

  • Session management

  • Cookie preference management

Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of the website, they may be used where legally permitted without optional marketing consent.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices and preferences made by visitors.

For example, they may help remember settings or preferences so that customers do not have to enter the same information repeatedly.

Where required by applicable law, these cookies will only be activated after the customer provides the appropriate consent.

They may provide information such as:

Analytics cookies will only be used where legally permitted and, where required, after obtaining the appropriate consent.

3.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to measure advertising performance, understand customer interactions, or provide more relevant advertising.

These cookies may be placed by Rugged Miles or by third-party advertising and marketing service providers.

Where consent is legally required, marketing cookies will only be activated after the visitor provides the appropriate consent.

The duration of individual cookies depends on their purpose and the service that places them.

Some cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of information that can be associated with an individual.

Where cookie-related processing involves personal data, it is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.
