Categories and providers
Necessary
WOTS stores your consent in wots_consent for 180 days. It contains your category choices, a consent identifier, timestamps and the consent revision. It is stored on this browser, not sent to an external consent logging service. Sign-in may also use auth cookies and local storage (including auth.*) to maintain your session. Their lifetime depends on your sign-in session and token expiry. These are not used to grant optional tracking consent.
Analytics
Google Analytics 4 measures page visits and shopping-link clicks using device, browser, page and interaction information. Its first-party cookies include _ga and _ga_*, normally retained for up to two years, subject to browser limits and provider settings. Google Tag Manager delivers tags subject to your choices. Google analytics tags are blocked when Analytics is off, including cookieless measurement before consent.
Marketing
Meta Pixel and TikTok Pixel measure advertising performance and support personalized advertising. They may process page visits, browser and device details, IP addresses and cookie identifiers. Typical identifiers include Meta's _fbp and _fbc (up to 90 days) and TikTok's _ttp and ttcsid* (up to 13 months). Providers may also use their own domain storage and TikTok local storage. Lifetimes can be shortened by browser settings or changed by providers.
Meta Privacy Policy · TikTok Privacy Policy
A Global Privacy Control signal keeps Marketing disabled, even if it was previously enabled. Google AdSense, Universal Analytics, VK Pixel and Yandex Metrica are not enabled by this implementation.
Cookie lifetime and data retention
The lifetimes above describe browser cookies, not how long a provider retains information already received. Deleting a cookie or withdrawing consent does not itself delete that information. See our Privacy Policy for retention information and how to make a deletion request. Browser restrictions may shorten cookie lifetimes.
Withdrawal, expiry and your browser
Your current choice is remembered for 180 days. Clearing cookies, using another browser or a material change to our purposes or providers may require a new choice. On withdrawal we remove known optional cookies accessible to WOTS and stop future optional tracking. We cannot directly remove cookies stored on another provider's domain or HttpOnly cookies. You can clear these through your browser settings. Withdrawal does not erase information already received by providers; contact us for rights requests.
Shopping links and other services
Following a shopping link, including Farfetch links and WOTS redirect pages, does not require Analytics or Marketing consent. Links may contain affiliate parameters used by merchants or affiliate networks, including Skimlinks/Skimresources. See our Affiliate Disclosure. Once you leave WOTS, the destination's privacy and cookie policies apply. These cookie choices apply to optional tracking on the WOTS website. The WOTS app and the destination website have separate controls. Using social sign-in does not enable optional website tracking.
