COOKIE POLICY

This Cookie Policy aims to transparently explain how Scheerers Flowerpot GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “we”) uses cookies and similar data tracking technologies when you visit our website www.flexiplanterrise.com and make a transaction.

This online store is directly managed and operated by Scheerers Flowerpot GmbH (a legally registered business entity in Germany). All data management processes strictly comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), and applicable US consumer privacy regulations.

What is a Cookie?

Cookies are small, encrypted text files that are sent to and stored on your computer, smartphone, or other internet-connected device when you browse our online marketplace. They are used to ensure the proper functioning of our e-commerce website layout, remember user preferences, streamline the checkout process, and provide important aggregate analytics metrics for platform administrators.

Categories and Uses of Cookies We Use

To maintain complete transparency within the global data protection framework, we categorize the tracking mechanisms used on our website into the following types:

Essential (Core) Cookies: These tracking technologies are essential for the basic functionality of our website. They support basic security firewalls, shopping cart data persistence, and a secure checkout architecture. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly or process transactions.

Security and Anti-Fraud Cookies (Stripe Infrastructure): To maintain financial security and proactively combat transaction fraud, our integrated payment processor, Stripe (Stripe Technology Europe, Limited and its global banking affiliates), deploys mandatory security cookies through our payment terminal interface. These specialized tracking scripts perform real-time risk assessments, support multi-factor credit card security checks (3D Secure), and block malicious bot activity. These security components are classified as “absolutely necessary” under applicable EU and German law and operate automatically during checkout.

Functional and Preference Cookies: These components enable our store to recognize your subsequent visits and automatically retain your regional layout choices, language preferences, or local currency settings, optimizing your checkout experience.

Performance and Analytics Cookies: These trackers collect aggregated and fully anonymous data about traffic behavior. They allow us to track the number of unique visitors and analyze user browsing behavior on www.flexiplanterrise.com, helping us structurally optimize product display layout and server response speed.

Your Consent and Control

We have implemented a regulatory-compliant interactive “Cookie Consent Banner,” which activates immediately upon your first visit to our store.

“Op-In”: Non-essential trackers (functional and analytical cookies) are disabled by default. They only activate when you explicitly select “Accept” or “Consent” via the banner interface.

Right to Withdraw Immediately: You have the inalienable legal right to withdraw your consent or modify your data collection settings at any time. In addition to clearing data directly through your browser preferences, you can also refresh your settings or submit a formal deletion request to our support team via email.

Data Lifecycle and Retention Period

The retention period for technical cookies on your physical storage device depends entirely on their core operating design:

Session Trackers: Temporary text data that is automatically and completely deleted from your electronic device immediately after you close your browser.

Persistent Trackers: These trackers are securely retained on your device for a specific limited time (strictly limited to 12 months), or until you manually clear the data through your device settings.

Stripe Third-Party Tracker Lifecycle: Stripe’s dedicated security and risk scripts follow international banking privacy guidelines to ensure that data is retained only for the period required to meet legal and anti-money laundering compliance requirements.
