Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Collectissim (“we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on colombianemeraldbook.com(the “Site”). Some technologies are strictly necessary for the Site to work (for example, cart, checkout, security). Others—such as analytics or embedded media—are used only after you consent via our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie banner or the “Manage preferences” link.

What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use related technologies such as local storage, tags, and anti-bot challenges. Some cookies last only for the duration of your session; others persist for a limited period.

Legal bases

We rely on different legal bases depending on the purpose:

• Necessary/functional cookies: performance of a contract (e.g., cart and checkout) and/or our legitimate interest (e.g., security and availability).
• Statistics and marketing cookies: your consent under GDPR Article 6(1)(a), requested via our cookie banner.

Categories of technologies we use

  1. Strictly necessary (always active)
    These are required to operate the Site and cannot be switched off in our systems. They include:
    • WooCommerce (cart, session, orders).
    • Complianz (stores your cookie consent choices).
    • Cloudflare Turnstile (anti-bot protection for forms, login, and checkout). Learn more: https://www.cloudflare.com/turnstile/and Privacy Policy:
    https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/ • Stripe / Apple Pay / Google Pay (secure payment processing and fraud prevention). Stripe Privacy Policy:
    https://stripe.com/privacy Without these, the cart and checkout would not function correctly.

  2. Statistics (activated only after consent)
    • Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how the Site is used and to measure e-commerce performance. IP anonymization is enabled by design in GA4. We disable Google Signals and limit data sharing so your data is not used by other Google services. Google Privacy Policy:
    https://policies.google.com/privacy (Optional) If we use Cloudflare Web Analytics in “cookieless” mode, it does not set cookies for advertising and may run without consent: https://www.cloudflare.com/web-analytics/

  3. Marketing (activated only after consent)
    • Mailchimp (when we embed a newsletter sign-up form). Mailchimp Privacy Policy:
    https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/ • Embedded media such as YouTube or Instagram (if used). Placeholders will appear until you allow Marketing. YouTube/Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy — Instagram/Meta Privacy Center: https://privacycenter.instagram.com/

Managing your preferences

You can change your choices at any time via the cookie banner or the “Manage preferences” link. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may impair the Site (for example, you may not be able to place an order).

Data recipients and international transfers

Some providers (for example, Google, Cloudflare, Stripe, Mailchimp) may process data outside the EEA. We rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses and configure services to minimize data sharing (for example, GA4 IP anonymization, no Google Signals, limited data sharing settings).

Retention

Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose and provider but are limited to what is necessary. GA4 event data is typically retained for 2–14 months (configurable in Google Analytics). Consent logs (managed by our cookie banner) may be retained for up to 24 months as proof of consent.

Your rights

Under applicable data-protection laws (including the GDPR), you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, or object to processing. To exercise your rights, contact us at contact@colombianemeraldbook.com. You can also contact your local supervisory authority (for France, the CNIL).

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect technical, legal, or business changes. We will revise the “Last updated” date accordingly.
