1. COOKIE POLICY AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

This policy refers to cookies and similar technologies encountered on the website operated by the company MYGRACE – the trade name for GODDESS INTERNATIONAL S.R.L., a Romanian legal entity, with its registered office in Bucharest, Sector 4, Drumul Jilavei Street, No. 52, registered with the Trade Register under number J2022001538401, CIF RO45551581.

This policy complements two other essential policies present on this site: Terms and Conditions, and the Privacy Policy, which also regulates the field of personal data protection.

We aim to ensure total transparency regarding the data collected on the MYGRACE website. Therefore, we will now provide some information about what cookies are, their purpose, and how you can manage them depending on the browser you use.

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small files or parts of a file saved on the computer/mobile terminal of an internet user, consisting of letters and numbers and stored by the browser used for a better internet browsing experience. These files allow websites to remember and store useful information about user preferences and may contain personal data (such as a history of visited pages, user identification code, personalized preferences).

A cookie consists of two parts: the name and the content. The lifespan of a cookie is determined, and technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when the user returns to the website associated with that web server.

3. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF COOKIES?

Cookies cannot be used to transmit computer viruses or run programs. When you access the site as a visitor, a cookie is sent to your internet browser and saved on your computer's hard drive. You can block the use of cookies through the settings in the browser you use to browse the internet.

By using cookies, you will benefit from a better browsing experience on our website. When a user accesses our site, we store information such as: IP address, pages viewed, the site you came from to our site, information from cookies, and other technical data that we use strictly for the following purposes:

analyzing traffic and traffic sources to our site, using analysis services to improve the services we offer and coordinate our image/marketing strategy to reach our customers more easily.
monitoring access to maintain site security and detect potentially dangerous accesses to our site.

All this data is statistical and anonymized.

In this regard, we use the following types of cookies:

strictly necessary cookies for the website's operation;
analytical cookies;
advertising cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies and/or similar technologies are essential for the proper functioning of the site, being set on your device when you access the site or as a result of actions performed on the site, as appropriate. You can set your browser to block cookies, but in this case, certain sections of the site will not function correctly.

4. WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE?

We use two types of cookies: session and persistent.

session cookies are temporary files that remain on the user's terminal until the session ends or the application is closed;
persistent cookies remain on the user's terminal for a period determined by the cookie's parameters or until they are manually deleted by the user.

5. DO COOKIES CONTAIN PERSONAL DATA?

Cookies or similar technologies themselves do not request personal information to be used and, in many cases, do not personally identify internet users. However, there are situations when personal data may be collected through the use of cookies to facilitate certain functionalities for the user or to offer the user an experience adapted to their preferences. Such data is encrypted in a way that makes unauthorized access impossible.

6. WHAT ARE SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES?

There are other technologies that can be used for the same purposes as cookies. The MYGRACE website uses Local Storage as a similar technology, which allows information to be stored on the terminal (computer, mobile phone, etc.).

7. BLOCKING COOKIES

Even though most browsers are set by default to accept cookies, you have the option to change the settings so that you can block all cookies or only some, depending on your preferences.

8. IMPORTANCE OF COOKIES FOR THE INTERNET

Cookies and/or similar technologies are the quintessence of efficient Internet functioning, contributing to generating a user-friendly browsing experience adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies can make some sites or parts of sites unusable.

Disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising, in compliance with the law, but only that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, highlighted by your browsing behavior.

Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require user authentication through an account):

content and services adapted to user preferences – product and service categories;
offers adapted to user interests;
password retention;
retention of child protection filters regarding Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions);
limiting the frequency of ad dissemination – limiting the number of times an ad is displayed to a specific user on a site;

measuring, optimizing, and adapting analysis features, such as: confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed, and how a user reaches a website (e.g., through search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.). Websites perform these analyses of their usage to improve their services for the benefit of users.
