Like almost any online shop, our site uses cookies as well. Some are strictly necessary so that you can add a magazine to your cart and complete your order; others help us understand how the site is being used.
Below we explain what cookies are, which ones we use and how you can control them.
Cookies are small text files that are saved on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website.
They allow the site to “remember” certain information for a period of time – for example what you have placed in your cart, or the fact that you are logged in.
Cookies do not run programs and cannot transmit viruses. In certain situations, the information collected through cookies may constitute personal data.
We use cookies for:
Strictly necessary cookies
These are indispensable for the operation of the site and the shop. Without them you would not be able to add products to the cart or complete an order. No consent is required for these cookies.
Preference (functional) cookies
They remember choices you have made, in order to give you a more convenient experience.
Analytics (statistics) cookies
They help us understand, in aggregate form, how many people visit the site and which pages are useful. They are used only on the basis of your consent.
Marketing cookies
They may be used to show you relevant messages, on this site or on other platforms. They are used only on the basis of your consent.
The site runs on the WordPress platform, with the shop built in WooCommerce. The cookies commonly used are the following:
Strictly necessary
Preferences
Analytics and marketing
[TO BE COMPLETED – ANALYTICS/MARKETING TOOLS, if they are used: for example Google Analytics, Meta Pixel]. These cookies will only be placed after obtaining your consent.
The list above is informative and may be updated when we change the functionality of the site.
Some cookies may be placed by third-party providers whose services are integrated into the site – for example the payment processor, analytics tools or embedded content (maps, video material).
These cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the respective providers. We encourage you to consult them if you would like further details.
Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, mentioned in the previous section, or until you delete them from your browser.
Consent for cookies that are not strictly necessary is requested again after the period stored by the cookie management tool expires.
The use of cookies is governed by Law no. 506/2004 on the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector, as well as by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), where personal data is processed through cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies are used on the basis of the legitimate interest of ensuring the operation of the site and the provision of the service you requested.
For the other categories of cookies the basis is your consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
If a cookie banner is displayed on the site, you can express your choice directly from it and change it later.
In addition, you can control cookies from the settings of the browser you use. As a rule, in the privacy settings section you can:
Detailed instructions can be found in the help sections of the Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge or Safari browsers.
You can block cookies at any time, but if you block strictly necessary cookies, certain functions of the shop may no longer work correctly – for example the shopping cart or the checkout process.
Blocking analytics or marketing cookies does not affect your ability to browse and place orders.
Besides cookies, other technologies with similar functions may be used, such as local storage in the browser or tracking pixels.
When these technologies are not strictly necessary, they are used under the same conditions as the cookies for which consent is required.
When the information collected through cookies allows you to be identified, directly or indirectly, it is treated as personal data.
In that situation the Privacy Policy also applies, where you will find information about your rights and how you can exercise them.
If you have questions about the way we use cookies, you can write to us at office@smartpuzzles.ro or call us at +40 742 295 165.
We may update this policy when we change the functionality of the site or the tools we use. The current version is permanently available on this page.
