Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website http://menadea.com (hereinafter "Website"), which types of cookies we install, and how you can manage your preferences regarding them.
For more information on how we process your personal data, please consult our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites visited by the user send and record on their computer or mobile device, to be then retransmitted to the same websites during the next visit. Thanks to cookies, a website remembers the user's actions and preferences (such as, for example, login data, chosen language, font size, products added to the cart, etc.) so that they do not have to be indicated again when the user returns to visit said website or navigates from one page to another.
2. Which cookies does this Website use and why?
Our Website uses different categories of cookies to ensure the proper functioning of the online shop, allow you to access your reserved area, and, subject to your consent, optimize your browsing experience.
Below is the list of the types of cookies used:
A. Technical and Functional Cookies (Necessary)
These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the Website and its main features (such as the shop and account management). They do not require your prior consent because, without them, the Website could not provide the requested services.
- Cart Management and Checkout: They store the products you add to your cart while you continue browsing the website and allow you to complete the purchase.
- Authentication and Account: If you decide to register and access your reserved area, these cookies recognize your login session so that you do not have to re-enter your credentials on every page.
- Security: Cookies for fraud prevention in payments and the protection of the website from cyber attacks (e.g., cookies linked to payment gateways like Stripe or PayPal).
- Saving preferences: They store your choices, such as your preference regarding the consent of the cookies themselves.
B. Analytical Cookies (Statistical)
We use these cookies to collect information in an aggregate and anonymous form on the number of visitors and how they navigate the Website (e.g., which pages are the most read, how long people stay on the website). They help us understand what works and what we can improve on the shop.
- Note: If the data is completely anonymized (e.g., with IP address masking), they are equated to technical cookies and do not require consent. If they are not anonymized, they will be activated only after you click "Accept".
C. Marketing and Profiling Cookies (If present)
These cookies (often from third parties, such as Facebook Pixel or Google Ads) are used to track the user's navigation on the web and create profiles on their tastes, habits, and choices. They allow us to show you relevant advertisements in line with your interests even on other websites or social networks. They strictly require your explicit consent.
D. Cookies related to the Newsletter
When you subscribe to our newsletter through the forms on the Website, the system may release a cookie to remember that you have already subscribed, avoiding showing you subscription invitation pop-ups or banners again during your browsing.
3. Third-Party Cookies
While browsing our Website, you may receive cookies from websites managed by other organizations (third parties). A typical example is the presence of "social plugins" (e.g., "Share" or "Follow" buttons from Facebook, Instagram) or the integration of payment systems. The management of information collected by third parties is governed by their respective policies, to which you are requested to refer:
- PayPal (Payments): Privacy Policy PayPal
- Stripe (Payments): Cookie Policy Stripe
- Automattic / WooCommerce (E-commerce platform and comments): Privacy Policy Automattic
4. How can I manage, block, or delete cookies?
You can manage your cookie preferences directly on our Website via the Consent Banner (Cookie Banner) that appears on your first visit. You can choose to accept them all, reject them all (keeping only the necessary technical ones), or customize your choices.
In addition, you can configure your internet browser to accept, block, or delete cookies at any time. Below are the links to the instructions for the main browsers:
Note: disabling technical cookies entirely may compromise the ability to use the shop (e.g., you might not be able to keep products in the cart or log in to your account).
