At Ecofabel Interiors, we are dedicated to providing you with a seamless, personalized, and secure online experience. To achieve this, our website utilizes "cookies" and similar tracking technologies. This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we employ, and your choices regarding their use. By continuing to browse and use our website, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy. We encourage you to read this policy in conjunction with our Privacy Policy to gain a complete understanding of how we handle your personal data.
Our commitment to sustainability extends to our digital practices. We aim for transparency in how we collect and use data, ensuring that your privacy is respected while enhancing your interaction with our handcrafted furniture stories. This policy is designed to be clear and comprehensive, helping you make informed decisions about your online privacy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and to remember your preferences. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies.
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain on your device only for the duration of your browsing session. They are deleted once you close your web browser. Session cookies are essential for basic website functionality, such as keeping you logged in or remembering items in your shopping cart as you navigate different pages.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period (which can range from a few minutes to several years) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits, enabling a more personalized and convenient experience. For example, a persistent cookie might remember your language preference or login details.
Cookies can also be categorized as "first-party" or "third-party" cookies:
- First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by the website you are visiting (i.e., by Ecofabel Interiors). They are primarily used to enable core website functionalities and to understand how you interact with our site.
- Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by a domain other than that of the website you are visiting. They are typically used for analytics, advertising, or social media integration. For example, a video embedded from YouTube might set a third-party cookie.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several purposes to enhance your experience, understand website usage, and support our business operations:
1. Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies:
These cookies are fundamental for the operation of our website. Without them, certain services you have requested, such as adding items to your shopping cart or logging into secure areas, cannot be provided. They do not collect any personal information that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.
- Purpose: To enable navigation and basic functionality, maintain user sessions, and ensure security.
- Examples: Session cookies that keep you logged in, cookies that remember your shopping cart contents, or cookies that manage security tokens.
- Impact if disabled: The website may not function correctly, and you may not be able to access certain features or services.
2. Performance and Analytics Cookies:
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, the time spent on the site, and if users encounter error messages. This data is aggregated and anonymous, helping us to understand and improve the performance of our website.
- Purpose: To analyze website traffic, understand user behavior, identify popular content, and diagnose technical issues.
- Examples: Cookies set by Google Analytics or similar analytics services that track page views, bounce rates, and user demographics.
- Impact if disabled: We will have less data to optimize our website's performance and user experience, but core functionality will remain.
3. Functionality Cookies:
Functionality cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
- Purpose: To personalize your experience, remember your preferences (e.g., language, currency), and enable interactive features like live chat support.
- Examples: Cookies that remember your login details for future visits, or cookies that store your preferred display settings.
- Impact if disabled: Your personalized settings may not be saved, leading to a less convenient browsing experience.
4. Advertising and Targeting Cookies:
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
- Purpose: To deliver targeted advertisements, measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, and limit the number of times you see an advertisement.
- Examples: Cookies from advertising platforms like Google Ads or social media platforms (e.g., Facebook Pixel) that track your browsing habits across different websites.
- Impact if disabled: You will still see advertisements, but they may be less relevant to your interests.
5. Social Media Cookies:
These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit.
- Purpose: To enable social sharing features and integrate with social media platforms.
- Examples: Cookies from Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, or other social media sites when you use their sharing buttons or embedded content.
- Impact if disabled: You may not be able to use or see these sharing tools, and your social media activity related to our site may not be tracked.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Service, deliver advertisements on and through the Service, and so on. These third-party services include, but are not limited to:
- Google Analytics: For website analytics and performance tracking. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how users interact with our website. This information is used to compile reports and help us improve the site. The cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the site, where visitors have come to the site from, and the pages they visited.
- Google Ads: For advertising and remarketing purposes. These cookies help us show relevant ads to users who have visited our site and to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns.
- Social Media Platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest): When you interact with our social media content or use social sharing buttons, these platforms may set cookies to track your activity and provide personalized content.
- Payment Processors: While we do not store full payment details, our payment partners may use cookies to facilitate secure transactions and prevent fraud.
We have no control over third-party cookies. These cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the third parties setting them. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third-party services for more information about their data practices.
