Cookies Policy
At Soft Haven, located in charming Charleston, South Carolina, we are committed to providing you with the best possible browsing experience on our website. To achieve this, we use cookies, which are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit our site. This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage them.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny data files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies allow a website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. For example, a cookie might store the items you've added to your shopping cart so they're still there when you return to our site. Soft Haven uses this technology to ensure a smooth and personalized experience for all our customers seeking handcrafted, luxurious soft furniture in the comfort of their homes.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a variety of purposes, including:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart, or make use of e-billing services. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. We might use these to understand which furniture styles are most popular, or which pages have the highest bounce rate.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region). This enhances your browsing experience by making it more tailored to your needs. Imagine our site remembering your preferred cushion fabric the next time you visit!

We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.
