Like any other website, this one (www.sneakermarket.ro) uses cookies for purposes related to the operation, improvement, and personalization of your browsing experience according to your preferences, remembering login information so that registration is not required at each visit, protecting the security of your systems and ours, or generating statistics for the provision of services offered by SC World Wide Zoo S.R.L. For example, some cookies provide us with important information about how visitors access and use our website, allowing us to make it more suitable for their needs, while other cookies allow us to see how many users access our website during a certain period.

Because we value transparency, below we provide details regarding the cookies used on this website and the choices you have regarding their activation or deactivation. However, please keep in mind that, like all websites, our website relies on this technology to function properly, so if you refuse to allow its use, the quality of your browsing experience may be affected.

1. What is a cookie?

Some people refer to cookies as Internet cookies, browser cookies, or HTTP cookies. These are multiple names for the same technology, commonly referred to as cookies.

A cookie is a small text file (letters and numbers) that will be stored on the computer, mobile devices, or other equipment of a user from which the websites of SC World Wide Zoo S.R.L. are accessed. Cookies consist of two parts: their name and their content (or value).

2. What are cookies used for?

With the help of cookies, websites remember information about users’ visits, such as preferred language, username and password (so that re-registration is not required at each visit, only if the user chooses this option), the type of device used (computer, mobile phone, etc.) to access the website, or the services or products the user has viewed or added to the virtual shopping cart (where applicable). Cookies simplify the browsing experience on a website, and website owners are able to provide more relevant information to users based on their needs.

Cookies help the Internet function efficiently and result in friendly, efficient, and personalized browsing for each user. Without them, Internet websites would be much more unpleasant or boring and would not be able to effectively respond to users’ needs.

Moreover, cookies help website owners continuously develop their websites. Cookies can obtain valuable information about how a website is used by visitors, so that increasingly better browsing experiences can be provided.

3. What are the main types of cookies?

There are cookies that are deleted immediately when you close your Internet browser (also called session cookies) and cookies that are stored on your device in order to be used for your next visits to the website (also called persistent cookies, although, despite the name, they expire after a certain period of time). Persistent cookies are reactivated when you revisit the website that placed them on your device.

Depending on who places them on your device, there are first-party cookies (placed by us) and cookies placed by third parties.

4. What is the lifespan of a cookie?

The lifespan of cookies depends greatly on each individual case, depending on the purpose of each cookie.

As mentioned above, some cookies are used only for a single browsing session, while others persist for a determined period after you leave the website in order to ease user interaction with the website.

Regardless of the type of cookies, you can delete or disable them at any time.

5. Are cookies dangerous for my device?

Cookies are harmless. They do not contain programs, viruses, or other harmful files and cannot access information on the user’s device. Since cookies are installed through a request from an Internet browser (its web server), only that web server that sent them can access them again when the user returns to the website associated with that web server.

However, cookies can be used for negative purposes, such as a form of spyware. Many anti-spyware products mark cookies for deletion during anti-virus or anti-spyware scanning and removal procedures.

In general, browsers have privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity periods, and automatic deletion after a user has visited a website.

6. Is my consent required for cookies?

Your explicit consent is not required for the use of cookies on this website unless the cookies (i) are not essential for the functioning of the website and (ii) are not strictly necessary to provide you with access to the service or option requested on the website.

7. Do cookies have anything to do with my personal data?

Some cookies collect anonymous information that does not say anything about you. Others collect information that can identify you, such as your IP address or preferences for certain products.

8. Does the website I am on use cookies?

Every website uses cookies. Our platform uses both first-party and third-party cookies to provide visitors with a superior browsing experience and pleasant, useful services adapted to their specific needs.

9. What are the specific purposes for which the website uses cookies?

Both our own cookies and third-party cookies are present on this website.

10. Third-party cookies

There are situations where certain parts of other websites may appear on our website. For example, a Facebook Like button or a YouTube video. When such elements appear on our website, it means that we have allowed the companies that own those platforms to place cookies on it.

We allow some third-party cookies on our website, but not from just anyone. Third-party cookies are primarily used to provide you with a more useful experience and to compile statistics about the number of visitors and how they use our website. For example, like or share buttons on websites may allow social networks to place cookies on the website.

We do not control these third-party cookies or the information they may collect, so please consult the policies of those providers if you wish to learn more. Since these are websites operated by other parties, the cookies that enable their content to be placed on our website come from their operators, not from us. It is possible that third parties use cookies for their own purposes. For information about these third-party cookies, please consult their cookie policies.
