The privacy of my users is of utmost importance to me. I believe in transparency, and I'm committed to being upfront about my privacy practices. This includes how I treat your personal information and data.
This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how I use them, and what your choices are regarding their use. This is important because cookies can have an impact on your browsing experience and privacy.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow a website to ‘remember’ your actions or preferences over a period of time, or they can contain data related to the function or delivery of the site.
While cookies can enhance your overall browsing experience by allowing websites to remember your preferences, they can also be used to track your visits to different websites, which raises privacy concerns.
I want you to understand these aspects of internet technology, so you can make informed decisions about your cookie preferences. I believe that your data is yours, and you should have control over it.
Please read this policy carefully to understand mind practices regarding cookies and your information.
I do not use cookies on my website. Nevertheless, for the process of payment, I use PayPal, which may use cookies. I do not have control over the cookies that PayPal uses. Please refer to the PayPal website for more information on their cookie policy.
Third-party cookies are created by domains that are not my website (or domain) that you are visiting. These are usually used for online advertising purposes and placed on a website through adding scripts or tags.
A third-party cookie is accessible on any website that loads the third-party server’s code. An example might be a Facebook ‘Like’ button on a website. The button will allow the Facebook server to store a cookie that can be accessed later from Facebook, allowing them to identify the user and see which websites they visited.
I do not use third-party cookies on my website. Nevertheless, for the process of payment, I use PayPal, which may use third-party cookies. In the context of my website, if you’re using PayPal for payments, PayPal may set third-party cookies on your devices. These cookies could be used by PayPal for several purposes, including remembering your preferences, ensuring transactions occur securely, and for advertising purposes. Third-party cookies are set by the third party, not by my website, and therefore the data collected by these cookies is not under my control.
When you use PayPal for payments on my website, PayPal processes certain types of data. Here’s a breakdown:
Personal Data: This includes information necessary for the service, such as the user’s name, address, phone number, and email address. This data is used by PayPal to identify the user and facilitate transactions.
Transaction Data: This includes data that arises during payment, such as the payment amount, device information, and geolocation data. This data is used by PayPal to process transactions and provide the user with a receipt.
Marketing Data: PayPal may also collect data for marketing purposes. However, this data is erased by PayPal immediately upon the user’s request.
Retention of Data: By law, PayPal must retain some user data for a certain number of years to comply with legal and regulatory obligations. This is also done to help prevent fraud and money laundering, as well as for the establishment, exercise, and defense of legal claims.
Data Erasure: PayPal progressively erases information during the required retention period, culminating in the complete erasure of your information.
Remember, PayPal’s use of data is governed by its own privacy policy, which you should review before using the service.
While I do not use cookies, third-party services such as PayPal may do so. When you make a payment on my website using PayPal, you may be sent cookies that are used by PayPal or other third-party services invoked by PayPal. I have no control over these cookies as they are set by PayPal or other third-party services. By using PayPal for payments on my website and agreeing to this policy, you are consenting to the use of these cookies by PayPal and other third-party services invoked by PayPal.
You can manage cookies by adjusting your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or to accept only certain types of cookies. You can also delete cookies that have already been set.
I may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. If I make changes, I will notify you by revising the date at the bottom of this policy. I encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how I use cookies.
