Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 6, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Bendis World LLC (“Bendis World,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit bendisworld.com (the “Site”).

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information.

By using the Site, you may be asked to manage your cookie preferences through a cookie consent banner or similar tool where required by applicable law.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies can help websites:

function correctly;
remember user preferences;
maintain shopping carts and login sessions;
improve security;
understand how visitors use the website; and
support analytics, advertising, or other optional features.

Cookies may be set directly by Bendis World (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services used on the Site (“third-party cookies”).

Cookies may also be:

Session cookies, which are generally deleted when you close your browser; or
Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

The European Commission similarly distinguishes between first-party, third-party, session, and persistent cookies.

2. Similar Technologies

In addition to traditional cookies, websites may use other technologies that store or access information on a user’s device.

These technologies may include:

pixels;
web beacons;
local storage;
scripts;
software development technologies;
device identifiers; and
similar tracking or storage technologies.

Where applicable, references to “cookies” in this Cookie Policy also include these similar technologies.

3. Why We Use Cookies

Bendis World may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:

operating and securing the Site;
maintaining shopping cart functionality;
processing checkout sessions;
allowing customers to sign in to their accounts;
remembering cookie preferences;
preventing fraud and unauthorized activity;
maintaining website performance;
understanding how visitors use the Site;
improving website functionality and user experience; and
supporting optional analytics or marketing tools, if such tools are enabled.

4. Categories of Cookies We May Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Site to function properly and provide services requested by the user.

They may be used for:

shopping cart functionality;
checkout;
customer account login;
security;
fraud prevention;
session management;
payment-related functionality; and
remembering privacy or cookie preferences.

Because these cookies are essential to providing requested website functionality, they may not require consent where applicable law provides an exemption.

However, we still provide information about their use.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies help improve usability and remember choices made by visitors.

They may be used to remember:

language or regional settings;
account preferences;
website display preferences; and
other personalization choices.

Some functional cookies may require your consent depending on their purpose and applicable law.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies may help us understand how visitors interact with the Site.

For example, they may help us understand:

which pages are visited;
how users navigate the Site;
how long visitors remain on certain pages;
whether website errors occur; and
how the Site performs across different devices or browsers.

If analytics tools are used and consent is required by applicable law, these cookies will be activated only after you provide the appropriate consent.

Advertising and Marketing Cookies

The Site may in the future use advertising or marketing technologies to measure campaigns, understand advertising performance, or provide more relevant advertising.

Such technologies may involve third-party services and may be considered tracking or cross-context behavioral advertising under certain privacy laws.

If Bendis World uses these technologies, we will provide appropriate information and consent or opt-out mechanisms where required by law.

At present, this section does not mean that all such advertising technologies are necessarily active on the Site.

5. WooCommerce and Ecommerce Cookies

Because the Site uses ecommerce functionality, including WordPress and WooCommerce, certain cookies may be necessary to support shopping-related functions.

These may include cookies used to:

remember items placed in your cart;
maintain checkout sessions;
identify customer sessions;
manage customer accounts;
process purchases; and
support secure payment functionality.

These types of cookies are generally necessary to provide the ecommerce service requested by the customer.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some features of the Site may be provided by third-party services.

These third parties may place or access cookies depending on the services being used.

Third-party providers may include, for example:

website hosting providers;
payment processors;
ecommerce services;
security providers;
analytics providers;
email or marketing platforms; and
other technical service providers.

The use of cookies by these providers is subject to their own privacy and cookie policies.

We encourage you to review the policies of any third-party services you interact with.

7. Payment Processing Cookies

When you proceed to checkout, third-party payment processors may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes including:

processing transactions;
preventing fraud;
authenticating payments;
maintaining security; and
complying with legal or regulatory requirements.

Bendis World does not control all cookies that may be set directly by independent payment processors.

Their own privacy and cookie policies may apply.

8. Cookie Consent

Where required by applicable law, Bendis World will request your consent before storing or accessing non-essential cookies on your device.

Consent should be freely given, informed, specific, and provided through a clear positive action.

Simply continuing to browse the Site will not be treated as consent where applicable law requires affirmative consent.

The UK ICO states that non-essential cookies should not be placed before consent and that users should have an easy way to enable or disable them.

9. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Where a cookie consent tool is available on the Site, you may be able to:

accept all optional cookies;
reject non-essential cookies;
select individual cookie categories; or
change your previous preferences.

You may also control cookies through your browser settings.

Most browsers allow you to:

view stored cookies;
delete cookies;
block cookies;
prevent cookies from specific websites; or
receive notifications before cookies are placed.

Please note that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Site from functioning correctly.

For example, your shopping cart, checkout, account login, or security features may not work properly.

10. Changing or Withdrawing Consent

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw or change that consent at any time.

If a cookie preference or consent management tool is provided on the Site, you may use that tool to update your choices.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

11. Do Not Sell or Share and U.S. State Privacy Choices

Bendis World does not sell personal information in the ordinary sense of selling customer information for money.

Certain U.S. privacy laws may also define some disclosures for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising as “sharing” or similar activity.

If Bendis World becomes subject to such requirements and uses technologies covered by those laws, we will provide any required opt-out methods or privacy controls.

California law, for example, may give covered consumers the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information used for cross-context behavioral advertising.

12. Browser-Based Privacy Signals

Certain browsers or extensions may send privacy preference signals, such as opt-out preference signals.

Where required by applicable law and technically applicable to our services, we may recognize and respond to supported privacy preference signals.

The availability and legal effect of such signals may depend on your location and the technologies used on the Site.

13. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device

The duration of a cookie depends on its type and purpose.

Some cookies may last only for the duration of your browsing session.

Others may remain on your device for a longer period in order to remember preferences or provide continuing functionality.

You can generally delete persistent cookies through your browser settings.

Where available, our cookie consent tool may also provide more specific information about individual cookies and their duration.

14. International Visitors

The Site may be accessed by users from different countries.

Cookie and privacy requirements may vary depending on your location.

Where required by applicable law, we may use different consent, notice, or opt-out mechanisms based on the visitor’s jurisdiction.

For users in jurisdictions requiring consent for non-essential cookies, optional cookies will be handled according to applicable requirements.

15. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect:

changes to the Site;
changes to the technologies we use;
new service providers;
changes to our ecommerce functionality;
legal or regulatory developments; or
changes to our privacy practices.

When this Cookie Policy is updated, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of the page.

If required by law, we may request renewed consent when our use of cookies materially changes.
