Cookie Policy
Last updated: . This Cookie Policy explains how Removaleapurgeux uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on removaleapurgeux.world.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to website operators. Cookies can be "session cookies" that are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies" that remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them manually.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies including local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. References to "cookies" in this policy include these comparable technologies unless otherwise stated.
2. How We Use Cookies
Removaleapurgeux uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience, remember your preferences, analyze Website traffic, and support our marketing efforts where you have provided consent. We categorize cookies into the following groups:
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, filling in forms, or navigating between pages. Strictly necessary cookies do not store personally identifiable information in a way that is used for profiling or marketing.
Examples of strictly necessary cookies used on our Website:
- Cookie consent preference storage: remembers your cookie choices so the consent banner does not reappear on every visit
- Session management: maintains your session state during form interactions
- Security cookies: help detect and prevent fraudulent activity and protect against cross-site request forgery
Legal basis: these cookies are necessary for the legitimate operation of the Website and do not require consent under GDPR ePrivacy exemptions for strictly necessary cookies.
2.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting information anonymously or in aggregated form. This data allows us to measure page performance, identify navigation patterns, and improve content structure and usability.
Analytics cookies may collect:
- Number of visitors and unique sessions
- Pages viewed and average time on page
- Referral sources and exit pages
- Device type, browser, and approximate geographic region
Legal basis: consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). Analytics cookies are only activated after you click "Accept All" or enable them through Cookie Settings.
2.3 Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be set through our Website by advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device. We use marketing cookies sparingly and only with your explicit consent.
Marketing cookies may be used to:
- Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
- Limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement
- Understand which content led you to visit our Website
Legal basis: consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). Marketing cookies are disabled by default and require your opt-in through our cookie banner or Cookie Settings panel.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our Website are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control the dissemination of these cookies. Third-party providers may include analytics platforms, content delivery networks, and icon font services. We select third-party providers that commit to privacy-compliant data handling practices.
When you consent to analytics or marketing cookies, data may be transferred to servers located outside New Zealand, including in the United States and European Union. Such transfers are governed by appropriate safeguards as described in our Privacy Policy.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for controlling cookies:
- Cookie Banner: When you first visit our Website, a cookie banner appears offering "Accept All," "Reject," and "Cookie Settings" options. Your choice is stored locally and respected on subsequent visits.
- Cookie Settings Panel: Access granular controls to enable or disable analytics and marketing cookies while keeping strictly necessary cookies active.
- Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings menu. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions. Note that disabling all cookies may affect Website functionality.
- Opt-Out Tools: Industry opt-out tools such as the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out page and the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out page may be used to manage interest-based advertising cookies from participating companies.
You may change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for our Website and revisiting to trigger the consent banner again, or by contacting us directly.
5. Cookie Retention Periods
Different cookies have different lifespans:
- Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser
- Cookie consent records: stored for 12 months in local storage
- Analytics cookies: typically expire after 13 to 26 months depending on the provider
- Marketing cookies: typically expire after 30 to 90 days depending on the provider
6. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals websites you visit that you do not want your online activity tracked. Because there is no universally accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals, our Website does not currently alter its behavior based on DNT settings. You may still manage cookies through the methods described in Section 4.
7. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use, applicable regulations, or our business practices. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last updated. We encourage you to review this policy regularly. Continued use of the Website after changes constitutes acknowledgment of the updated policy.
