JD Sports Singapore Cookie Policy

Effective Date: April 23, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how JD Sports Singapore ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, sg-jd-sports.myshopify.com (the "Website"). This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

By using our Website, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files containing small amounts of information that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, enhance your user experience, and provide information to the website owners. Cookies can be temporary (session cookies) or persistent (persistent cookies). Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain stored on your device for a defined period, typically ranging from a few minutes to several years, unless you delete them.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services that the website uses ("third-party cookies").

Cookie Providers

The cookies used on our Website can be set by different providers. These providers are the entities that place the cookies on your device when you visit our site. They are generally categorised as first-party or third-party providers:

• First-Party Providers: These are the entities that operate the website you are visiting. In our case, this is JD Sports Singapore and the underlying e-commerce platform provider, Shopify, which sets cookies on our behalf via the sg-jd-sports.myshopify.com and myshopify.com domains. First-party cookies are typically used for essential website functions and to personalise your experience directly on the site.
• Third-Party Providers: These are entities other than the website owner that place cookies on your device through the website you are visiting. This often occurs when a website integrates services from third parties, such as analytics services, advertising networks, or social media platforms.

Based on a recent scan of sg-jd-sports.myshopify.com, all listed cookies in the tables below are classified as first-party cookies, primarily associated with the sg-jd-sports.myshopify.com domain and the underlying Shopify platform functionality (myshopify.com).

Specific First-Party Providers

Within the first-party cookies used on our Website, the following specific providers are identified based on the cookie names and descriptions:

• Shopify: As our e-commerce platform provider, Shopify is responsible for setting many of the essential and performance cookies that enable the core functionality of the online store, manage user sessions, and collect analytics data on website usage. Cookies like `_shopify_s`, `_shopify_y`, `_landing_page`, `_orig_referrer`, `_shopify_sa_t`, and `_shopify_sa_p` are associated with Shopify's platform and analytics suite.
• Swym: Swym is a third-party service integrated into our Shopify store, primarily for providing wishlist functionality. Although Swym is a third party, the cookies it sets on our Website (like `swym-swymRegid`, `swym-email`, `swym-session-id`, and `swym-pid`) are set via our domain (sg-jd-sports.myshopify.com) and thus appear as first-party cookies in the scan data. These cookies are necessary for the Swym wishlist app to function correctly for users.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for various purposes to ensure our Website functions correctly, provides a secure and efficient shopping experience, allows us to understand how our Website is used, and helps us with our marketing efforts. Based on a recent scan, the cookies used on our Website fall into the following categories:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies (C0001): These cookies are essential for the operation of our Website and enable core functionalities such as allowing you to navigate the site, access secure areas, use the shopping cart, and complete your purchase. The Website cannot function properly without these cookies. They are typically set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.
• Performance Cookies (C0002): These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, such as which pages are visited most often, how visitors move around the site, and if they encounter any errors. This information is aggregated and anonymous and is used to help us understand and improve the performance and functionality of our Website, identify popular products or sections, and optimise the user experience.
• Functional Cookies (C0003): These cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language preference, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They can be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. The purpose of these cookies is to provide a more convenient and tailored Browse experience.

Cookies Used on Our Website

This list details the cookies identified in a recent scan of sg-jd-sports.myshopify.com, categorised as provided by the scan. Please note that the exact cookies used may vary depending on your Browse activity and any third-party services integrated into the site. Information regarding cookie purpose and duration is based on the scan data.

Strictly Necessary Cookies (C0001)

These cookies are essential for you to be able to navigate the website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like putting items into your shopping cart and checking out, cannot be provided.

Note: The cookie 'swym-o_s' (Purpose: Associated with the Swym platform which is used for app versioning systems) was noted as removed since a previous scan (Feb 26, 2025 01:42 AM).

Performance Cookies (C0002)

These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works.

Functional Cookies (C0003)

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your Browse activity on other websites.

Targeting and Advertising Cookies

Based on the provided scan data, there were no cookies explicitly categorized as Targeting and Advertising Cookies (C0004).

Third-Party Cookies

Based on the provided scan data, all listed cookies in the tables above are indicated as being set by First Party providers (sg-jd-sports.myshopify.com or myshopify.com). However, it's common for websites to use third-party services that may set cookies not explicitly listed in this scan data or categorised differently by the scanning tool. These third parties may collect information about your online activities across different websites and over time. This Cookie Policy does not cover the use of cookies by third parties not listed in this scan data. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you encounter.

Based on our understanding of typical e-commerce operations, potential third-party services that might use cookies (though not listed or categorised in the provided scan) could include services for analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), advertising networks, or social media integrations.

Implications of Disabling Cookies

Disabling cookies can significantly impact your experience on the Website:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Disabling these will make the Website unusable, as core functions like adding items to your cart or checking out rely on them.
• Performance Cookies: Disabling these will prevent us from gathering data about Website usage, which limits our ability to identify and fix errors and improve the site's performance.
• Functional Cookies: Disabling these will remove personalised features and settings, requiring you to re-enter information and potentially making the Browse experience less convenient.
• Targeting and Advertising Cookies: Based on the provided scan, no cookies were categorised here. However, if third-party advertising cookies were present and disabled, the advertisements you see online, both on our Website and other sites, would be less tailored to your interests.
