COOKIE POLICY

Our Cookie Policy is here to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, the information we gather with cookies and why, as well as how you can manage your cookie preferences on our website.

OVERVIEW

The Cookie Policy constitutes a binding agreement between you, the user, and Greenaway’s Herbal Ointments and is designed to ensure transparency, user privacy, and data protection.

If you have any questions or concerns about our Cookie Policy, please feel free to contact us.

SECTION 1 – WHAT EXACTLY ARE COOKIES?

Think of cookies as small, text-based notes that store tiny bits of information. These notes are saved on your device when you visit our website using your web browser. Cookies play a role in making our website work correctly, ensuring security, enhancing your experience, and helping us understand how the site is doing and where we can make it better.

SECTION 2 – CONSENT FOR COOKIES

Where legal frameworks dictate, we do not rely on implicit consent (continuing to use the website) for cookie usage. Instead that activation of such cookies requires you to deliberately click the “Accept all” button and/or to stipulate which exact types of cookies you consent to via the “cookie consent banner” which is displayed when you first visit the site (and may be displayed again in future visits).

Our website uses cookies for specific, legitimate purposes, and the data collected is limited to what is necessary for those purposes.

Our cookie rules apply only to this website, belonging to Greenaway’s Herbal Ointments.

SECTION 3 – HOW WE USE COOKIES

Similar to most online services, our website uses two types of cookies: first-party and third-party.

First-party cookies are set by the website you are currently visiting and function as part of the website’s tool-set, helping it function smoothly without collecting any of your personal data. Some first-party cookies are session cookies, which are temporary and expire when you close your web browser. Others may be persistent cookies that are stored on your device for a specific period, typically ranging from a few days to a several months. This is, for example, how you are able to return to a website that you have visited previously and resume your shopping with the products you previously added to your cart still present.

Third-party cookies are set by domains other than the one you are currently visiting. These are often used for website performance analysis; they help us see how the website is doing and how our users are interacting with it. Third party cookies are also used for security and/or authentication purposes and for making websites work faster. Some third party cookies are used for tracking and advertising purposes (for example pixels and beacons). The storage duration of third-party cookies typically ranges from a few days to several months. This means that certain anonymous data which is still linked to your user session may be collected and shared with third parties. In recent years, web browsers and privacy regulations have placed restrictions on third-party cookies. We have made every effort to ensure we only work with entities that are completely compliant with any and all laws, including data privacy regulations.

SECTION 4 – WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE?

– Essential: Some cookies are crucial for you to use our website fully. They maintain your user sessions and safeguard against security risks.

– Statistics: These cookies keep track of data like the number of visitors, unique visitors, which pages are visited, and where visitors come from. This information helps us understand how well the website is doing and where it might need improvements.

– Marketing: Our business may display ads on this website or elsewhere (such as social media platforms) and these cookies may be used to personalize those ads to be more relevant to you. They also help us measure how well our ad campaigns are working. Please note that the information stored in these cookies may be used by other companies to show you ads on other websites as well.

– User Choices: The mechanisms that we use to obtain your consent to use cookies will ideally give you the option to choose which types of cookies you would like to accept (if any). Please bear in mind that your decisions on which cookies you accept and which you decline will have consequences for your website experience.

– Documentation: Our website maintains records of consent, including when and how it was obtained.
