Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy (the “Policy”) governs the terms, procedure and manner in which PRIKSI22 EOOD, UIC 208900110, having its registered office and management address at 132 St. St. Cyril and Methodius Street, Vazrazhdane District, 1303 Sofia, Bulgaria (the “Controller”), uses cookies and similar technologies in the operation of the online store https://mishuponastarr.myshopify.com  (the “Online Store”).

The purpose of this Policy is to provide clear, accurate and transparent information regarding the types of cookies used by the Online Store, the purposes for which the information is processed, the legal basis for their use, the retention periods and visitors’ options for managing their preferences.

This Policy forms an integral part of the Privacy Policy of the Online Store and shall be construed together with it. Cookies are used in compliance with applicable European and national legislation, including Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”), the Personal Data Protection Act and the Electronic Communications Act. For the purposes of this Policy, “cookies” also include other similar technologies for storing or accessing information on a terminal device, where applicable.

1. PERSONAL DATA

Some of the information collected through cookies and similar technologies may constitute personal data within the meaning of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (the “General Data Protection Regulation”), where it permits the direct or indirect identification of a natural person.

Cookies and similar technologies are used in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation, the Personal Data Protection Act and the Electronic Communications Act. Cookies which are not technically necessary for the provision of a service expressly requested by the visitor are activated only after prior consent is given through the cookie-management banner.

The Controller processes such data solely for the purposes specified in this Policy and applies appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files which, upon visiting a webpage, are stored on the visitor’s terminal device. They enable the Online Store to recognise the browser or device, retain certain settings and ensure the normal operation of its core services, including the shopping cart, language and currency selection, user-session security and the order-completion process.

For the purposes of this Policy, the term “cookies” also covers other similar technologies through which information is stored on the terminal device or access is obtained to information already stored there, where those technologies are used for the stated purposes.

3. COOKIES USED

3.1. According to the necessity for operation of the Online Store

Necessary cookies – These cookies ensure the basic operation of the Online Store. They enable visitors to navigate between pages, use the core functionalities of the Online Store, maintain a secure connection with the server and retain their settings. Their use therefore does not require the visitor’s consent. Necessary cookies are essential for the proper operation of the Online Store and do not store information used for marketing purposes.

Functionality cookies – These enable the use of additional functionalities and personalised settings, such as remembering language and currency preferences, retaining selected user settings, maintaining the shopping cart and integration with payment services. They enable the Online Store to remember the visitor’s previous actions and provide a more personalised user experience. If these cookies are not enabled, certain functionalities and services may be restricted or may not function properly.

Performance cookies – These are most commonly provided by third parties which support the analysis and optimisation of the Online Store. They collect information about the pages visited, frequency of use, time spent in the Online Store and whether technical errors arise during its use. The information obtained is generally processed in aggregated and statistical form and does not independently permit identification of a particular visitor. Their principal purpose is to improve the operation of the Online Store, optimise its content and provide a better user experience.

Advertising and social cookies – These cookies and similar technologies may be used to display content and advertising tailored to visitors’ interests, measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns or integrate social networks and external platforms. As at the date of the latest update of this Policy, the Online Store does not use Meta Pixel, Meta Conversions API, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo, TikTok Pixel or Hotjar.

3.2. According to the retention period

Session cookies – These are created for the duration of a visit to the Online Store (the session) and are automatically deleted after the browser is closed. They maintain the sequence of the visitor’s actions within a session and ensure the proper functioning of individual pages.

Persistent cookies – These remain on the visitor’s device for a predefined period or until manually deleted. They are used to retain long-term preferences and settings, such as the selected language, settings for using the Online Store or other personalised preferences which facilitate its use on subsequent visits.

3.3. According to origin

First-party cookies – These are placed directly by the Online Store. They collect information about its operation, analyse its use, retain the settings selected by the visitor and optimise the user experience. These cookies are not used to provide information to third parties, except where this is necessary for the provision of services on behalf of the Controller.

Third-party cookies – These are placed by external providers whose services are integrated into the Online Store, including Shopify as the platform provider, Consentmo as the provider of the consent-management mechanism and payment service providers. Those providers may process the information collected in accordance with their own privacy policies. The Controller does not control the manner in which third parties collect, store and process information through their own cookies.

3.4. Use of cookies

Depending on the functionalities used and services integrated, the Online Store may use one or more of the above categories of cookies. Necessary cookies are always used to the extent required for the proper operation of the Online Store. All other categories of cookies are used only after the visitor has given prior consent, where such consent is required under applicable law.

Allowing the use of cookies is not absolutely necessary for visiting and using the Online Store; however, their activation contributes to improving the user experience, personalising content and optimising the operation of the Online Store. Visitors may at any time restrict, block or delete cookies through their browser settings or through the consent-management mechanism provided. It should be borne in mind, however, that restricting or disabling certain categories of cookies may make it impossible to use certain functionalities or services of the Online Store.

Information collected through cookies is retained only for the period necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected, in accordance with this Policy and applicable law. Where third-party cookies are used, the relevant providers may process the information collected in accordance with their own privacy policies. Where this results in data transfers outside the European Economic Area, the Controller takes the necessary measures to ensure the lawfulness of such transfer in accordance with the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

Depending on the functionalities used and the consent given by the visitor, the Online Store may use the following categories of cookies:

4. HOW TO CONTROL COOKIES?

Upon the first visit to the Online Store, the visitor is informed about the use of cookies through a consent banner. Through that banner, the visitor may accept the use of all cookies, refuse the use of those for which consent is required, or manage preferences for the individual cookie categories, where that functionality is available.

The visitor may at any time amend or withdraw the consent given through the cookie-management mechanism available within the Online Store, where such mechanism is provided. In addition, the use of cookies may be restricted, blocked or deleted through the settings of the internet browser used. It should be borne in mind that restricting or disabling certain categories of cookies may result in incomplete or improper operation of certain services and functionalities of the Online Store.

Further information about the management and control of cookies may be found on the official websites of the relevant browsers and on specialised information platforms such as: www.aboutcookies.org and www.whatarecookies.com.

For convenience, the User may find specific instructions for managing cookies in the most commonly used browsers:

1. click here for Chrome
2. click here for Firefox
3. click here for Safari
4. click here for Opera

Through browser settings, the visitor may at any time control, restrict or delete cookies already stored, as well as configure the browser automatically to block their future storage or notify the visitor whenever a new cookie is sent. It should be borne in mind that blocking certain cookies may require some settings to be configured manually on every visit to the Online Store, and certain functionalities and services may be unavailable or may not function properly.

If the visitor has questions or requires assistance regarding the use or management of cookies, they may contact the Controller at: prixyprix22@gmail.com.

5. DELETION OF COOKIES

All internet browsers permit cookies to be stored on the visitor’s device by default. The settings of the browser used may be changed at any time so that the automatic storage of cookies is blocked or the visitor is notified whenever a new cookie is sent. Depending on the browser used and its version, these settings may include complete blocking of cookies, deletion of cookies already stored or restricting their use to specific websites only.

Detailed information about the options and methods for managing and deleting cookies is available in the settings menu of the respective browser and on the official website of its provider.

It should be borne in mind that restricting, blocking or deleting cookies may affect the proper operation of the Online Store and may result in incomplete, delayed or improper operation of certain services and functionalities. In some cases, blocking necessary cookies may make it impossible to use particular functionalities or the Online Store in its full scope.

6. SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

Cookies are small text files stored on the visitor’s device and do not, in themselves, contain executable program code. They therefore cannot be used as a means of distributing viruses, malware or other malicious software, nor can they independently access information stored on the visitor’s device.

Most internet browsers provide built-in mechanisms for managing cookies, including the ability to accept, restrict, block, automatically delete them or receive a notification when they are created. Visitors may change those settings at any time in accordance with their preferences.

Information collected through cookies is processed solely for the purposes specified in this Policy, in compliance with applicable law and by applying appropriate technical and organisational measures for the protection of personal data. The Controller takes the necessary measures to prevent unauthorised access, unlawful alteration, disclosure or destruction of information processed through the use of cookies.

The use of cookies does not increase the risk of infection of the device with viruses or other malware. Visitor security when using the Online Store also depends to a significant extent on using an up-to-date version of the internet browser and maintaining appropriate information-security settings.

Nevertheless, visitors should exercise due care when using public or shared devices and when providing third parties with access to them.

7. TIPS FOR THE SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE USE OF COOKIES

To ensure a higher level of protection of your personal data and better control over the use of cookies, it is recommended that you personalise your internet browser settings according to your preferences. Proper browser configuration enables you to determine when and under what conditions cookies are stored and to reduce the risk of unlawful access to stored information.

When using a device which is also accessible to other persons, it is recommended that the browser be configured automatically to delete browsing history, cookies and cached data at the end of the session. This reduces the risk of third parties gaining access to information concerning your preferences or activity when using the Online Store.

To improve security, we recommend that you always use an up-to-date version of your internet browser. Regular installation of updates contributes to remedying known vulnerabilities and improves protection when using the internet.

The use of cookies is standard practice in the operation of modern websites. Their complete blocking may lead to restricted or impossible use of certain functionalities of the Online Store. We therefore recommend that visitors take a balanced approach and manage their cookie preferences according to their individual needs.

8. AMENDMENTS TO THE COOKIE POLICY

The Controller reserves the right to amend and supplement this Cookie Policy at any time in view of changes in applicable law, the technologies used or the functionalities of the Online Store. All amendments shall take effect upon publication of the updated Policy in the Online Store, unless expressly stated otherwise. Visitors should periodically review the current version of this Policy.
