Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

Xylarocetra (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates an online store serving customers in the United States. This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit, browse, or make a purchase through our website.

We use these technologies to support essential store functions, maintain shopping cart information, remember preferences, understand website performance, protect transactions, and, where applicable, measure advertising effectiveness.

Our use of cookies depends on the features, applications, and third-party services enabled on our website. We aim to provide clear information about these technologies and respect applicable privacy requirements and your available privacy choices.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may store in your browser or on your device when you visit a website. They help websites recognize a browser, maintain a session, remember preferences, and support functions such as shopping carts and checkout.

I. Cookies. Cookies may be temporary session cookies, which generally expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or are deleted.

II. Pixels and Tags. These technologies may help measure page visits, interactions, conversions, and advertising performance.

III. Local Storage and Similar Technologies. Certain website features may store information locally on your device to remember settings or support functionality.

IV. Tracking Technologies. Depending on the services enabled, technologies may recognize a browser or device over time or across different websites. Their use is subject to applicable requirements and your available privacy choices.

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

I. Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies support essential website operations, including navigation, session management, shopping cart functionality, checkout, transaction security, and fraud prevention. They are used where necessary to provide services you request or to support legitimate website operations, subject to applicable law. These cookies generally cannot be disabled through our website's cookie preference controls without affecting essential functionality.

II. Functional Cookies. These cookies may remember preferences such as language, region, or other selected settings to provide a more consistent browsing experience. Where consent is required, these cookies will be activated only after the appropriate consent has been obtained.

III. Analytics and Performance Cookies. These technologies may help us understand website traffic, page interactions, technical errors, navigation patterns, and overall store performance. We use the resulting information to evaluate and improve website functionality and usability. Where required by applicable law, we obtain consent before enabling these technologies.

IV. Advertising and Measurement Cookies. Where enabled, these technologies may measure advertising effectiveness, attribute purchases to advertising campaigns, or support advertising based on browsing activity. Depending on the technology, information may be shared with advertising or measurement providers. Where applicable law requires consent or provides an opt-out right, we will respect the relevant requirements and choices.

V. Third-Party Cookies. Certain applications, payment services, analytics providers, or advertising partners may use their own cookies or similar technologies when their services are integrated into our store. The operation and availability of these technologies depend on the services enabled and applicable privacy settings.

The categories described above explain the purposes for which cookies may be used. They do not constitute a guarantee that every category is active at all times. The actual technologies operating on our website depend on our current configuration and services.

4. How We Use Cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes.

I. Store Functionality. To maintain browsing sessions, remember shopping cart contents, support checkout, and provide requested website features.

II. Security and Fraud Prevention. To help protect our store, detect suspicious activity, maintain session integrity, and support transaction security.

III. Preferences and Personalization. To remember selected settings and improve the consistency of your shopping experience.

IV. Analytics and Improvement. To understand how visitors use our website, identify technical issues, evaluate page performance, and improve the usability of our online store.

V. Advertising Measurement. Where applicable, to evaluate advertising campaigns, measure conversions, and understand how visitors interact with advertisements.

VI. Compliance and Recordkeeping. Where appropriate, to maintain records of privacy preferences or consent choices and support compliance with applicable requirements.

We seek to use information collected through these technologies for the purposes described in this policy and our Privacy Policy, subject to applicable law and the privacy choices available to you.

5. Cookie Consent and Privacy Choices

We provide or may provide cookie preference controls depending on the website features and applicable requirements. Where consent is legally required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we will seek that consent before activating the relevant technologies.

I. Accepting Cookies. If a cookie preference tool is available, you may be able to accept the categories presented in that tool.

II. Rejecting Non-Essential Cookies. Where supported, you may reject non-essential cookies without disabling technologies that are necessary for essential website functions.

III. Selecting Cookie Categories. Where available, you may choose individual categories of cookies rather than accepting all categories.

IV. Changing Your Preferences. You may change or withdraw your consent through the website's cookie settings, where available. A withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.

V. Essential Functionality. Certain cookies may remain active when they are necessary to provide a service you request, maintain security, or support essential store operations, subject to applicable law.

VI. No Assumption of Consent. Where affirmative consent is required, merely visiting or continuing to browse our website will not be treated as consent to the use of non-essential cookies.

Rejecting non-essential cookies should not require you to accept them in order to access ordinary website content, except where a particular feature genuinely depends on the relevant technology and applicable law permits the limitation.

The availability of a cookie banner or preference tool depends on the website configuration. We do not intend this policy to suggest that a particular control is available unless it has been implemented on our website.

6. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most browsers allow you to review, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Depending on your browser, you may also be able to restrict third-party cookies or receive notifications when cookies are stored.

I. Blocking Cookies. You may configure your browser to block certain or all cookies, subject to the options provided by the browser.

II. Deleting Cookies. You may remove cookies that have already been stored on your device through your browser settings.

III. Website Functionality. Blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect shopping cart contents, saved preferences, sign-in sessions, checkout, or other website features.

IV. Separate Controls. Browser settings operate separately from any cookie preference tool on our website. Changing browser settings may not automatically update a preference or consent record maintained by our website.

For a more complete understanding of your choices, review your browser's privacy and security settings and use our website's cookie preference controls where available.

7. Information That May Be Collected Through Cookies

Depending on the technology used and your settings, cookies and similar technologies may collect or make available information relating to your browser, device, and website activity.

I. Device and Browser Information. This may include browser type, operating system, device identifiers, IP address, language settings, and technical information about how your device accesses our website.

II. Browsing Activity. This may include pages viewed, products viewed, referring pages, navigation patterns, time spent on pages, and interactions with website features.

III. Shopping and Transaction Activity. Where relevant to the technology and permitted by applicable law, information may relate to shopping cart activity, checkout events, or purchase conversions.

IV. Advertising and Measurement Information. Where advertising technologies are enabled, information may include advertisement interactions, campaign attribution, and conversion events.

V. Preference and Consent Information. We may maintain records of cookie selections or consent choices to help respect your preferences and document applicable compliance activities.

Some of this information may constitute personal information under applicable state privacy laws, depending on the circumstances and whether it can reasonably be linked to an individual, household, browser, or device.

We handle personal information collected through these technologies in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable legal requirements.

8. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

Our online store may use third-party services to support ecommerce functionality, payment processing, analytics, advertising measurement, security, and other business operations.

I. Service Providers. Certain providers may process information on our behalf to perform services such as website hosting, store functionality, analytics, or technical support.

II. Payment and Checkout Services. Payment-related technologies may be used to support secure checkout and transaction processing. The information handled depends on the payment method and service involved.

III. Analytics Providers. If analytics tools are enabled, their providers may receive information about website visits, browsing interactions, or performance events.

IV. Advertising Partners. If advertising technologies are enabled, information may be disclosed to advertising or measurement partners to measure campaign performance or support advertising activities, subject to applicable law and your privacy choices.

V. Independent Third Parties. Some providers may operate under their own privacy policies and terms. Their processing practices may differ from ours, and we encourage you to review their disclosures when appropriate.

Depending on the technologies used and applicable law, certain disclosures of information for cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute “sharing,” and certain transfers for other purposes may constitute a “sale,” as those terms are defined under applicable privacy laws. We assess our practices based on the actual data flows and purposes involved rather than assuming that every third-party disclosure is exempt.

For further information about categories of recipients and how personal information is handled, please review our Privacy Policy.

9. U.S. State Privacy Rights and Targeted Advertising Choices

Certain U.S. state privacy laws provide eligible residents with rights relating to personal information, including rights concerning targeted advertising and the sale or sharing of personal information. The availability of these rights depends on the applicable law, the individual's location, and whether our business activities fall within the law's scope.

I. Opting Out of Targeted Advertising. Where applicable law grants you the right to opt out of targeted advertising, we will provide or honor the applicable opt-out method required by law.

II. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information. Where applicable law provides a right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, we will provide the required method and process qualifying requests in accordance with that law.

III. Privacy Preference Signals. Where legally required, we will recognize and process valid browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, in accordance with applicable requirements and the scope of the signal.

IV. Privacy Choices Link. Where required, our website will provide an appropriate and accessible mechanism for exercising applicable privacy choices, which may include a link labeled “Your Privacy Choices” or “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.”

V. Additional Rights. Depending on applicable law, eligible individuals may have rights to know or access personal information, request correction or deletion, obtain a portable copy of certain information, or limit certain uses of sensitive personal information.

VI. Exercising Your Rights. You may contact us at team@xylarocetra.com to ask about privacy choices or submit a request. We may need to verify your request and apply legal exceptions where permitted. Requests will be handled according to applicable requirements.

A cookie preference tool and an opt-out mechanism for the sale or sharing of personal information are not necessarily interchangeable. Where the law requires a separate opt-out method or recognition of a valid preference signal, we will address that requirement through the appropriate mechanism.

For additional information about personal information rights, request procedures, and applicable limitations, please review our Privacy Policy.

10. Data Retention and Security

Cookies may remain on your device for different periods depending on their purpose and configuration.

I. Session Cookies. These cookies generally expire when you close your browser or when the relevant session ends.

II. Persistent Cookies. These cookies may remain on your device until they reach their configured expiration or you delete them.

III. Preference and Consent Records. Where maintained, records of your selections or consent choices may be retained for a period reasonably necessary to respect your preferences, document compliance, and support legitimate operational needs, subject to applicable law.

IV. Personal Information Retention. Information collected through cookies may be retained according to its purpose, the applicable retention requirements, and our Privacy Policy. We seek to retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary, subject to legal, security, dispute-resolution, and recordkeeping needs.

V. Security Measures. We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information processed through our website against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No electronic storage or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Deleting cookies from your browser does not necessarily delete information already collected and retained by us or a third-party provider. Requests concerning retained personal information may be submitted using the contact details provided in this policy and our Privacy Policy.

11. Children's Privacy

Our online store is intended for a general audience and is not knowingly directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly use cookies or similar technologies to collect personal information from children under 13 in a manner prohibited by applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through our website in circumstances that require our attention, please contact us at team@xylarocetra.com. We will review the matter and take appropriate action as required by applicable law.

This section does not limit any obligations that may apply to us under children's privacy laws or other applicable requirements.

12. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may revise this Cookie Policy when our website features, technology providers, data practices, or applicable legal requirements change.

The revised version will be published on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to understand how cookies and similar technologies may be used on our website.
