Hi there, this is our cookie notice. When you visit our website or use a mobile app, we will place one or more cookies on your device or use JavaScript, HTML 5 and other digital technologies to collect information from your computer, mobile handset or other device. This information may contain personal data. In this cookie policy we will tell you what cookies we will use and what their functions are. How we process personal data that we obtain from your device is described in our Privacy Policy. When you visit our website we will regard this as your specific request to provide you with the full functionality of the site, including but not limited with the ability to submit an application on our website.

1. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
The responsibility for this cookie policy lies with PVH Corp., or any of its affiliated companies (“PVH”). This legal entity is the “we” or “us” in this cookie notice. You can contact us at the address listed below.

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
When we talk cookies, we are talking about small (temporary) text files we transfer to your device. We may also use similar digital techniques, such as JavaScript, HTML 5, device fingerprinting etc. Collectively we refer to these digital techniques as “cookies” in this cookie policy.

3. WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?
Cookies may be used for many different purposes. In the first place, we have cookies that are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only 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. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will then not work. We call these “strictly necessary cookies”.

Cookies can also be used to allow us to further develop and improve the functionality of our website by tracking usage. In some cases they improve the speed with which we can process your request, allow us to remember site preferences you have selected. You can make a choice to not consent to our use of these “analytics cookies”.

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Thirdly, “social media- and personalization cookies” offer the possibility to connect you to social networks and share (advertising) content from our website on social media with you. Information that we obtain from advertising cookies is used to maintain your personal advertising profile. The purpose of your profile is to provide you with effective targeted advertising. Based on your profile we may also show you tailored content on our website. 

We may also use the data for retargeting by showing you a targeted advertisement on a third-party website that is linked to an event on our website, for example a specific purchase that was abandoned.

You can make a choice to not consent to our use of the “analytics” or “social media- and personalization cookies”.

The actual cookies that we use are listed and described in Section 6 below.

4. HOW CAN I MAKE A CHOICE ABOUT COOKIES AND MY PRIVACY?
On our website you can set your preferences regarding cookies. You can do this by clicking on "manage preferences" in the cookie banner, or via Cookie Settings in the footer of this website. On this screen you can accept all cookies, reject all non-functional cookies or manage your preference by (de-)activating the relevant tick in the tick boxes for analytics and social media- and personalization cookies. Accepting cookies will provide you with an optimal website experience and will also help ensure that no advertisements are shown to you that are not relevant.
