How many clicks to find the privacy policy from the homepage?

One click, from the footer. “Privacy Policy” opens as a web page, with a separate Cookie Policy beside it. No last-updated date is shown, which is the one gap in an otherwise well-kept document.

Is there a meaningful choice about cookies and tracking before data is collected?

Three buttons, all identical. “Accept All”, “Only Essential” and “Manage Preferences” are stacked in the same solid navy fill, at the same width. Refusing is one click, costs exactly what agreeing costs, and sits beside real category control. Only Aldo matches it, and Aldo tints the accept button. On a first load, before the banner is answered, no advertising network identifier is set: no Google Analytics, no Meta, no TikTok. An affiliate cookie and several identifiers belonging to the marketing platform Attentive do arrive early, which is worth knowing, and it is a far smaller footprint than anything else measured here.

How hard is the policy to read, how much of it is there, and can you get it in one piece?

Grade 11.8 across 5,130 words, in one place. Difficulty 2, length 2, access 4. Middling on both measured parts, and among the more readable policies in the retail set. Measure it yourself.

How many clicks to reach data settings, and can you delete your account yourself?

A rights request form, two clicks from the front door. The policy links a OneTrust privacy web form for access and deletion requests, reachable without an account. privacy@clarks.com is published beside it.

Find the support page. How many clicks, and is there a way to speak to a human?

A phone number, a chat and a form. “Contact Us” carries +1 825-203-1882 with staffed hours. The chat opens with a virtual assistant named Cyrus and says plainly that it will transfer you to a person if Cyrus cannot help, which is more honest than most chat widgets manage.
