Essential information we collect (first-party cookies)
In operating our online store, it is essential for us to capture some information about your device, such as your IP address and information related to your visit when you browse our store. For example, this might include a time-stamp, the last page or product you visited and the indication that you logged in. We do that in order to:
- remember who you are after you log in so that you do not need to authenticate at each click;
- monitor if our website is running with the high performance we are dedicated to providing;
- let you browse between products without having to start back from the home page at each click;
- remember if you put something in your shopping cart before you decide to checkout; and
- control that your data is processed securely.
We call the information mentioned above “essential information” and we collect it through the use of cookies. Cookies are small text files that most websites use. A website places cookies in the web browser and then reads the information collected through the cookies every time the user performs an action. We use cookies. Without enabling this mechanism and this kind of cookies (first-party cookies), we could not provide you with the smooth experience that you expect while you are using our website.
Analytics & advertising (third-party cookies)
Our site uses Google Analytics to recognise and count the number of visitors to our site and to see how they are using it. This helps us to improve our website.
Our site intends to use the Google AdWords re-marketing service to advertise on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our site, for example using the contact form to make an enquiry. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to The Clary Sage website. Of course, any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy.
You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Preferences page.
Our website uses the Facebook pixel. Facebook may use the Facebook pixel to collect or receive information from our website and use that information to provide measurement services, targeted ads and as described in the Facebook Data Policy.
If you have a Facebook account you can control your preferences by visiting:

Transfers of personal information outside Europe
Personal data in the European Union is protected by data protection laws but countries outside of the EU do not necessarily protect your personal data in the same way. Our website provider and other third-party service providers (such as our website provider, email provider, email marketing provider and analytics companies) are hosted in the United States and this means that we may transfer any information which is submitted by you through the website outside of the European Economic Area (which means all the EU countries plus Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein) ("EEA") to the United States. When you send an email to us, this may be stored on email servers which are hosted in the United States. We will take steps to ensure that our third-party companies use the necessary level of protection for your information (including checking that they are compliant with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework) but if you do not want your information to be transferred outside the EEA you should not use our website or contact us via email.
