Cookie Policy
The Yasmintrend.shop website uses cookies.
The information presented below aims to provide users with more details about the placement, use, and administration of cookies used by the Yasmintrend.shop website.
If you need more information and it is not found below, you can contact us at the official email address of the store.
Please read the following information carefully:
This website may use both its own cookies and third-party cookies to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services tailored to everyone's needs and interests. Because we respect your right to privacy, you can choose to block certain types of cookies from this site through the consent banner.
The Role of Cookies
Cookies play an important role in facilitating access and delivery of multiple services that users enjoy on the internet, such as:
-
Customization of certain settings such as: the language in which a site is viewed, the currency in which certain prices or tariffs are expressed, saving options for various products (sizes, colors, etc.) in the shopping cart (and remembering these options), or saving certain preferences for future reuse.
-
Valuable feedback provided to website owners about how their pages are used by users, so they can make them even more efficient and easily accessible.
-
Integration of multimedia applications or other types from other sites to create a more valuable, useful, and enjoyable browsing experience.
-
Improving the efficiency of online advertising.
What is a Cookie?
A Cookie is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, which will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal, or other equipment of a user from which the Internet is accessed.
The cookie is installed through a request issued by a web-server to a browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari) and is completely "passive" (it does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user's hard drive).
A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. Furthermore, the lifespan of a cookie is determined; technically, only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that webserver.
Cookies themselves do not request personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.
There are two main categories of cookies:
-
Session cookies – these are temporarily stored in the web browser's cookie folder for the browser to remember them until the user closes the browser window or logs out of that site.
-
Persistent cookies – these are stored on a computer's or equipment's hard drive (their lifespan depends on the preset period for the cookie). Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is currently visiting – known as "third-party cookies" (cookies placed by third parties) – which can be used anonymously to remember a user's preferences.
What are the advantages of cookies and their lifespan?
A cookie contains information that links a web browser (the user) and a specific web server (the website). If a browser accesses that web server again, it can read the already stored information and react accordingly. Cookies ensure users a pleasant browsing experience and support online stores' efforts to provide comfortable services: online privacy preferences, site language options, shopping cart, or relevant advertising.
The lifespan of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are used exclusively for a single session and are no longer retained once the user leaves the website, while others are retained and reused every time the user returns to that website (permanent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through the browser settings.
What are third-party cookies?
Certain content sections on the site may be provided through third parties / providers (e.g., a YouTube video, an advertisement, a chat application, traffic analysis services). These third parties may also place cookies through the site, and these are called "third-party cookies" because they are not placed directly by the owner of that website. Third-party providers must also comply with applicable law and the privacy policies of the site owner.
How Yasmintrend.shop uses cookies
A visit to this site may place the following types of cookies:
1. Essential cookies
These cookies allow both saving preferences regarding other types of cookies used and accessing the basic functionalities of this site. They retain user preferences on this site, so there is no need to set them on each visit.
Registration cookies are generated when you register on the site, in order to inform us whether you are logged in or not. Our servers use these cookies to display your correct account and provide you with an easier experience.
Other essential cookies we place are those corresponding to the shopping cart and Favorites lists (with the role of saving added products), session cookies necessary for the HTTP protocol to function, form completion, or those that recognize the type of device used (desktop or mobile).
2. Performance and analysis cookies
These include cookies from traffic analysis services (such as Google Analytics). These allow aggregated measurement of site traffic, identification of traffic sources, and provide information about the most visited pages. The information is collected completely anonymously.
3. Social Media and advertising cookies
These may be placed through the site by social media or advertising services we use (e.g., Google AdSense, Google Ads, Meta/Facebook Pixel). This type of cookie can be used to determine a specific visitor profile and to display relevant advertising messages on other sites you visit.
Note: Due to the nature of their use, Yasmintrend.shop cannot access these third-party cookies, just as third parties cannot access the cookies owned by this site.
Security and privacy issues
Cookies use plain text formats. They are not made up of code pieces, so they cannot be executed and cannot self-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run again.
However, because they store information about users' preferences and browsing history, both on a specific site and on several other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products therefore mark cookies to be deleted during scanning procedures.
Because information is constantly transmitted between the browser and the website through them, if an attacker or unauthorized person interferes with the data transmission path (for example, on an unsecured Wi-Fi network), the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted. It is important to always use secure networks and ensure that your browser is up to date to prevent the exploitation of old versions.
How can you stop or configure cookies?
It is possible to configure your browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted, or you can configure your browser to accept cookies only from a specific site. You can also use the integrated preferences banner on Yasmintrend.shop to enable or disable non-essential categories.
All modern browsers offer the possibility to configure storage preferences. These settings are usually found in the "Options", "Settings", or "Preferences" (Privacy / Security) menu of your browser.
