Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
Welcome to Hestejarin. This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit or interact with our online store.
In this policy, “Hestejarin,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the business operating this online store. We use cookies and similar technologies, where applicable, to support essential store functions, maintain shopping cart and checkout functionality, remember preferences, understand website performance, protect transactions, and measure advertising effectiveness when relevant technologies are enabled.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy. It explains how to manage cookie preferences and understand the privacy choices that may be available when you use our online store.
2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that websites may store in your browser or on your device. They can help a website recognize a browser, retain certain information, and support functions across browsing sessions.
Other technologies may perform similar functions, including pixels, tags, scripts, software development tools, local storage, and online identifiers. Depending on their configuration, these technologies may collect or access information about your browser, device, website interactions, referral source, or browsing activity.
I. Session cookies generally remain active during a browsing session and are ordinarily removed when you close your browser.
II. Persistent cookies may remain on your device until they expire or you delete them through your browser settings.
III. Similar technologies may operate independently of traditional cookies and may require separate controls, depending on the technology and applicable requirements.
The duration and operation of a cookie or similar technology depend on its purpose, configuration, and the relevant service provider.
3. Categories of Cookies We May Use
I. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These technologies support essential website operations, such as maintaining shopping cart contents, enabling checkout, preserving session information, supporting security functions, and helping prevent fraudulent or unauthorized activity. They may also support functions necessary to provide services you request.
Where permitted by applicable law, strictly necessary technologies may operate without consent when they are genuinely required for the requested service or essential website functionality. We do not treat all cookies as strictly necessary merely because they are useful to our business.
Disabling these technologies may prevent certain store functions, including shopping cart or checkout features, from operating correctly.
II. Preference and Functional Cookies
These technologies may remember choices such as language, regional settings, or other website preferences. Their purpose is to provide a more consistent browsing experience and reduce the need to repeat certain selections.
Where consent is required, these technologies will be activated in accordance with your applicable privacy choices. If you disable them, some preferences may not be retained between visits.
III. Analytics and Performance Cookies
Where enabled, analytics technologies may help us understand how visitors navigate our store, which pages receive visits, how website features perform, and whether technical errors occur.
We may use relevant information to evaluate website performance, improve navigation, identify usability issues, and understand general visitor interactions. The information collected may include page views, referring pages, browser or device information, and interaction data.
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain consent before activating non-essential analytics technologies. We will configure these technologies in accordance with applicable consent requirements and the choices available to visitors.
IV. Advertising and Attribution Technologies
Where enabled, advertising and attribution technologies may help measure promotional performance, understand interactions with advertisements, attribute purchases to marketing campaigns, or support the delivery of relevant advertisements.
Depending on the services used and the applicable settings, these technologies may involve the disclosure of online identifiers, browsing events, device information, or other information to advertising, analytics, or measurement providers.
Certain activities may qualify as a sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or a similar regulated activity under applicable privacy laws. We will provide applicable disclosures and opt-out mechanisms where required. We will not represent that advertising cookies are active if they have not been implemented on our website.
4. How We Use Cookies
We may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes, depending on the features and services enabled on our online store.
I. Store Operations: To support browsing, shopping cart management, checkout, order-related functions, and other requested website services.
II. Preferences: To remember supported settings and make repeat visits more convenient.
III. Performance and Improvement: To understand general website usage, assess technical performance, and identify opportunities to improve usability.
IV. Security and Fraud Prevention: To help detect suspicious activity, protect website functions, and support the integrity of transactions.
V. Advertising Measurement: Where applicable, to measure advertising effectiveness, understand campaign performance, and support permitted marketing activities.
5. Third-Party Cookies and Service Providers
Our online store may integrate third-party services that provide website hosting, payment processing, security, analytics, customer support, advertising measurement, or other operational functions.
Depending on the services actually enabled, these providers may use cookies or similar technologies to process information such as browser type, device identifiers, website events, referral information, pages visited, or interactions with store content.
I. Service-Dependent Processing: The categories of information collected, the purposes of processing, and the retention periods depend on the specific services integrated into our store.
II. Independent Provider Practices: Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy policies and applicable contractual arrangements. Their practices are not necessarily controlled entirely by Hestejarin.
III. Consent and Privacy Controls: Where required, we will configure applicable consent mechanisms to prevent non-essential technologies from operating before the required consent is obtained and to respect relevant opt-out choices.
IV. Configuration Accuracy: We will review the technologies enabled through Shopify settings, installed applications, manually added scripts, pixels, and other integrations so that our disclosures remain consistent with our actual practices.
For information about personal information collected or disclosed through these services, please review our Privacy Policy.
6. Cookie Consent and Preference Management
Your available cookie choices depend on your location, the technologies used on our website, and applicable legal requirements.
Where a consent mechanism is required or provided, you may be able to accept available cookie categories, reject non-essential categories, or select individual preferences through the cookie banner or cookie settings interface.
I. Essential Technologies: Technologies that are genuinely necessary for requested services may continue to operate where permitted by law.
II. Non-Essential Technologies: Analytics, advertising, preference, and other non-essential technologies will be handled according to applicable consent requirements and your available choices.
III. Changing Preferences: Where our website provides a cookie settings tool, you may use it to review or change your preferences. If a preference tool is not visible, you may contact us for assistance with available privacy options.
IV. Withdrawing Consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent through the applicable control mechanism. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
V. Functional Limitations: Rejecting or disabling certain technologies may affect website personalization, analytics, advertising measurement, or other features. We will not condition access to a service on consent where applicable law prohibits doing so.
A browser setting that deletes cookies may not automatically withdraw consent previously recorded by a website or disable all similar technologies. For this reason, where available, we recommend using the website's cookie preference tool as well as your browser controls.
7. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most modern browsers provide settings that allow you to view, block, restrict, or delete cookies. Some browsers also offer controls for cross-site tracking and related technologies.
I. Reviewing Cookies: Consult your browser's privacy or security settings to determine which cookies are stored on your device.
II. Blocking or Deleting Cookies: You may configure your browser to block cookies or delete existing cookies, subject to the browser's available functions.
III. Device-Specific Settings: Browser settings generally apply to the browser and device on which they are configured. You may need to adjust settings separately across different browsers or devices.
IV. Website Functionality: Blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect shopping cart contents, saved preferences, checkout functionality, or other website features.
Browser controls may not block every pixel, script, local storage mechanism, or other tracking technology. Where applicable, use the cookie preference mechanism provided on our website in addition to your browser settings.
8. Privacy Rights and Global Privacy Control
Depending on your state of residence, the nature of our business, and the circumstances of our data processing, you may have privacy rights under applicable law. These rights may include requesting access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information, and opting out of certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising activities.
I. Privacy Requests: Where applicable, you may submit a privacy request through the mechanisms described in our Privacy Policy or contact us using the information provided in Section 12 of this policy.
II. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising: Where required by applicable law, we will provide an appropriate method for exercising the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information or targeted advertising. These rights are distinct from ordinary browser cookie settings.
III. Global Privacy Control: Where applicable law requires us to recognize Global Privacy Control (GPC) or another qualifying universal opt-out preference signal, we will process that signal in accordance with the applicable requirements and the scope of the request.
IV. Preference Scope: A browser-based privacy signal may apply to the browser or device sending it and may not automatically change settings on other devices or browsers. The scope and effect of the signal depend on applicable law and the technical implementation.
V. No Unlawful Retaliation: We will not unlawfully discriminate against individuals for exercising privacy rights protected by applicable law.
For more information about personal information, privacy rights, and available request procedures, please review our Privacy Policy.
9. Data Retention and Security
Cookies and similar technologies may retain information for different periods depending on their purpose, whether they are session-based or persistent, and the settings of the relevant technology or service provider.
Information collected through these technologies may be retained in accordance with our operational needs, applicable contractual arrangements, and legal obligations, as described in our Privacy Policy.
We use reasonable measures appropriate to our operations to help protect information handled through our online store. However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Where applicable, we review the retention and operation of integrated technologies to help ensure that they remain appropriate for their stated purposes.
