1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites. They are widely utilized to make websites work efficiently, remember your shopping bag between page views, secure payment transactions, and provide anonymous analytical insight into how visitors interact with our catalog.
We also utilize related web technologies such as localStorage (for maintaining cookie consent and user session state) and secure session tokens.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
Required for the store to function properly. They enable core features such as cart memory, checkout authentication, CSRF security protection, and fraud prevention. You cannot opt out of these essential cookies without breaking core site functionality.
Remember your selections (such as cookie consent decisions, room visualization preferences, and currency settings) so you do not have to reset them each time you browse our collections.
Help us understand how guests navigate Knotiq Rugs, which rug weave collections are most viewed, and diagnose page load bottlenecks. Data is aggregated and IP-anonymized via Google Analytics.
Payment processors set security tokens strictly during the checkout process to detect fraudulent card usage and ensure bank-grade 3D Secure verification under PCI-DSS standards.
