2. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner. We may also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, or pixels where relevant for the same or similar purposes. In this policy, we use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and these similar technologies where applicable.

Cookies can be “first-party” (set by us) or “third-party” (set by a different domain, such as an analytics or advertising provider). They can also be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (they remain for a set period or until you delete them).

3. Legal basis

Our use of cookies is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), the ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in Ireland and the EU), and the Data Protection Act 2018 (Ireland). Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent because they are essential for the operation of the website. For all other cookies (e.g. analytics and marketing), we ask for your consent before they are set, in line with our cookie banner and preference centre.

4. Categories of cookies we use

4.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable basic features such as page navigation, secure access to areas of the site, remembering your cookie consent choices, and ensuring the security and integrity of the session. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. They do not collect information that identifies you for marketing purposes.

Examples and purposes:

• Cookie consent storage: to remember whether you have accepted or rejected cookies and your preferences (e.g. cookie-consent in local storage).
• Security and load balancing: to maintain a secure session and distribute requests (e.g. session or load-balancer identifiers).

Legal basis: Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and/or legal obligation where applicable. Consent is not required for strictly necessary cookies.

Retention: Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies used for consent or security may be stored for up to twelve (12) months or as needed to maintain your choices and security.

4.2 Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website (e.g. which pages are visited, how long users stay, and how they navigate). The data is used in aggregate to improve the website and user experience. Where we use third-party analytics, the data may be shared with that provider in accordance with our Privacy Policy and your consent.

Examples and purposes:

• Usage statistics: number of visits, pages viewed, referral sources, device type, and general geographic region (e.g. country).
• Performance: page load times, error rates, and other technical metrics to improve stability and speed.

Legal basis: Your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). These cookies are only set if you click “Accept all” or enable “Analytics” in Cookie settings.

Retention: Typically up to twenty-six (26) months for analytics cookies, unless a shorter period is configured. You can withdraw consent at any time via the cookie banner or settings.

4.3 Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to deliver relevant advertisements, to measure the effectiveness of campaigns, and to build profiles for interest-based advertising. They are often set by third-party ad networks or social platforms. We only use marketing cookies if you have given your consent.

Examples and purposes:

• Ad delivery and frequency: to show you ads and limit how often you see them.
• Conversion and attribution: to measure whether users who saw an ad later visited our site or completed an action.
• Interest-based advertising: to show ads that may be more relevant to your inferred interests (subject to your consent and our partners’ policies).

Legal basis: Your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). These cookies are only set if you click “Accept all” or enable “Marketing” in Cookie settings.

Retention: As specified by the relevant third-party provider, often between thirty (30) days and thirteen (13) months. You can withdraw consent at any time.

5. Managing your preferences

You can control and manage cookies in the following ways:

• Cookie banner and settings: When you first visit the site, you can choose “Accept all”, “Reject” (non-essential cookies), or “Cookie settings” to enable or disable analytics and marketing cookies. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled if you wish to use the website.
• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies, or to delete existing cookies. You can usually find these options in the “Settings”, “Options” or “Preferences” menu of your browser. Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of the website.
• Withdrawing consent: If you have previously accepted analytics or marketing cookies, you can withdraw consent by opening the cookie settings (e.g. via a link in the footer or by clearing cookies and revisiting the site to see the banner again) and disabling the relevant categories, or by clearing cookies for this domain.

For more information about controlling cookies in common browsers, you can visit the browser’s help section or sites such as www.aboutcookies.org.

6. Third-party cookies and links

Where we integrate third-party services (e.g. analytics or advertising), those providers may set their own cookies. Their use of data is governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to read those policies when you interact with such services. We do not control the duration or exact purpose of third-party cookies; the retention and purposes are as described by each provider.

Our website may contain links to other websites. This Cookie Policy applies only to this website (velmorinzol.world). We are not responsible for the cookie or privacy practices of other sites.

7. International transfers

If a third-party cookie provider processes data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), that transfer will be subject to appropriate safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions) as required by GDPR. Details of such transfers can be found in our Privacy Policy or in the privacy notices of the relevant providers.

8. Your rights

In addition to managing cookies as described above, you have the same data protection rights as set out in our Privacy Policy, including the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and to object, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission (Ireland). For more information, see Privacy Policy.

9. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies, in technology, or in legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised when we make changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Where changes are significant, we may inform you via the website or by email where appropriate.
