Hosting and Page Loading (Wix):
The hosting provider for the Crown Labels website is Wix, and as such a variety of essential cookies are used in order to provide the website and manage user visits. This helps to balance activity across servers and computers and ensure a fast page load speed. These cookies are essential to the provision of the website and do not collect information that is used for personal identification.
