COOKIE POLICY

This Cookie Policy aims to transparently explain how flexiplanterrise (hereinafter “we”) uses cookies and similar data-tracking technologies when you visit our website, www.flexiplanterrise.com, and conduct transactions.

This online store is directly managed and operated by [XXX] (a business entity legally registered 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.

1. What are Cookies?
   Cookies are small, encrypted text files that are sent to and stored on your computer, smartphone, or other internet-connected device when you browse online marketplaces. They are used to ensure the proper functioning of the e-commerce site’s layout, remember user preferences, streamline the checkout process, and provide platform administrators with important aggregated analytical metrics.
2. Categories and Purposes of Cookies We Use
   To maintain full transparency within the global data protection framework, we classify the tracking mechanisms used on our website into the following distinct categories:

Strictly Necessary (Core) Cookies: These tracking technologies are essential for the fundamental operational functions of our website. They support basic security firewalls, shopping cart data persistence, and 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 actively combat transaction fraud, our integrated payment processor, Stripe (Stripe Technology Europe, Limited and its global banking affiliates), deploys mandatory security cookies via our payment terminal interface. These specialized tracking scripts perform real-time risk assessments, facilitate multi-factor credit card security checks (3D Secure), and block malicious bot activity. Under applicable EU and German laws, these security components are classified as “Strictly Necessary” and operate automatically during checkout.

Functionality 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, thereby optimizing your checkout experience.

Performance and Analytics Cookies: These trackers collect aggregated, fully anonymized data regarding traffic behavior. They enable us to track the number of unique visitors and analyze user browsing behavior on www.flexiplanterrise.com, thereby helping us structurally optimize product display layouts and server response speeds.

3. Your Rights of Consent and Control
   We have implemented a regulatory-compliant, interactive “Cookie Consent Banner” that activates immediately upon your first visit to our store.

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

Right to Immediate Withdrawal: You hold 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 web browser’s preference settings, you may refresh your settings or submit a formal deletion request to our support team via email.

4. Data Lifecycle and Retention Periods
   The duration for which technical cookies remain on your physical storage device depends entirely on their core operational design:

Session Trackers: Temporary text data that is automatically and completely removed from your electronic device as soon as you close your web browser.

Persistent Trackers: These trackers remain securely on your device for a specific, limited period (strictly capped at 12 months) or until you manually clear the data via your device settings.

Stripe Third-Party Tracker Lifecycle: Stripe’s dedicated security and risk scripts adhere to international banking privacy guidelines, ensuring data is retained only for the duration necessary to fulfill legal and anti-money laundering compliance requirements.
