Welcome to Clarity Kitchens. This Cookie Policy explains how Clarity Kitchens ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website, claritykitchens.com ("Website").

What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Clarity Kitchens) are called "first party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies." Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
Clarity Kitchens uses cookies to:
- Help us understand how visitors use our website.
- Improve the functionality and performance of our website.
- Personalize your experience on our website.

- Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
- Performance and Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to its use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos) may become unavailable.
