At Crystalinea (“we”, “our”, “us”), we use cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience, personalize content, provide social media features, and analyze our traffic. By using our website crystalinea.com, you agree to the use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy.

This policy explains what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, how you can control cookies, and the information they collect.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) by websites you visit. These files allow the website to recognize your device and store information about your preferences or past actions. Cookies are essential to the functioning of most modern websites, enabling features like shopping carts, login authentication, and user preferences.

Cookies can be either:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are primarily used to maintain your session and remember your actions during your visit.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They help websites remember your preferences and choices for future visits.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Our website uses different types of cookies for various purposes. Here is a breakdown of the categories:

A. Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary Cookies)

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and enable you to navigate the site and use its features. Without these cookies, services like adding items to your cart, processing orders, or accessing secure areas of the website would not be possible.

Examples include:

  • WooCommerce Cookies: Used to store cart and checkout information, manage user sessions, and keep track of customer activity while shopping.
  • Login Authentication Cookies: Used to keep you logged in as you navigate the website.

B. Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information such as the number of visitors, the pages they visit, and how long they spend on the site. This information helps us improve the functionality and user experience of our site.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose. The data collected is anonymized and aggregated, meaning it does not identify individual visitors.

Examples include:

  • Google Analytics Cookies: Track site usage, such as which pages are most visited, user behavior, and site navigation. This data helps us identify areas for improvement.

C. Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization by remembering your choices and preferences (such as your username, language, or region). They ensure that you have a more tailored experience during your visits.

Examples include:

  • Language or Currency Preferences: Store your selected language or currency so that you do not need to choose it again when you return to the site.
  • User Preferences: Remember whether you opted into or out of certain services or features (like email newsletters).

D. Advertising and Targeting Cookies

We do not currently use cookies for advertising purposes on our website. However, if we implement any third-party advertising platforms in the future, these cookies would track your browsing activity across our site and other websites, allowing advertisers to show you relevant ads.

Should we introduce advertising cookies, we will update this policy and obtain your consent before doing so.

E. Social Media Cookies

These cookies are used to enable sharing functionality via social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. They allow you to interact with social media channels directly from our website, for example, by liking or sharing content.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • To remember your shopping cart contents and complete your orders.
  • To improve website performance and functionality, ensuring that pages load quickly and your preferences are remembered.
  • To analyze user behavior, so we can enhance our services, design, and content.
  • To keep you logged into your account when navigating between pages.
  • To help prevent fraudulent activity and secure your information during transactions.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services to assist us in understanding how users interact with our website and to enhance the shopping experience.

Third-party services we use:

  • Google Analytics: This service helps us analyze website traffic and user behavior. You can learn more about Google’s privacy practices here.
