What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that is stored or read on your computer, tablet, or smartphone via our webshop when you visit our webshop. This happens through the web browser on your device. This file remembers specific information. The information in these text files allows us to recognize you, for example, if you visit our webshop again later. During your next visit, our webshop can retrieve and use this information to provide better service. For example, we remember your login details and the language you have set. This way, we can help you better and faster next time.

 

Why are cookies necessary?

We and third parties use cookies to:

• Enable the functionalities of the webshop (technical and functional cookies) • Analyze the use of the webshop and, based on this, make the webshop more user-friendly (analytical cookies) • Display personalized advertisements (marketing cookies)

When you visit our webshop for the first time, we show a notice with an explanation about cookies. Where consent is required for placing cookies, we only place cookies if you accept them and give Buddha to Buddha your permission.

You can also set your web browser to only accept the storage of cookies if you agree. For more information, consult the manual of your browser. Please note: many websites do not work optimally if cookies are disabled.

 

Do you want to delete cookies?

Most cookies have an expiration date. If an expiration date is set, the cookie will be automatically deleted when the expiration date expires. Additionally, you can also delete your cookies yourself if you wish. To do this, go to your internet browser, such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Safari. If you want to know more about this, you can use the help function of your browser.

Note: After deleting and/or refusing cookies, you may still see advertisements. If you refuse and/or delete cookies, you may not always be able to use all the features of a website. Furthermore, refusing and/or deleting cookies only affects the computer and browser where you perform this action. Are you using multiple computers and/or browsers? Then repeat the action(s) to refuse or delete cookies as often as necessary.

 

What types of cookies are there?

Cookies are small text files that can be used by websites to make user experiences more efficient. By law, we may store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the use of the webshop. For all other types of cookies, we need your permission. The webshop uses different types of cookies. Some cookies are placed by third-party services that are displayed on our pages. The different types of cookies are:

Functional cookies or technically necessary Cookies
Functional or technically necessary cookies are required for the operation of our webshop. We use these cookies to make our webshop more user-friendly. For these cookies, your consent is not necessary because they improve the webshop's functionality. For example, these cookies allow us to save your login details and the purchases in your shopping cart. We also use these cookies to ensure that you do not have to provide the same information repeatedly when visiting our webshop.

Analytical Cookies
We use these cookies for statistics to analyze how visitors use our webshop and investigate which parts of the webshop are most interesting to our visitors. We also use them to see if a page we think might interest you is actually being found. For instance, if you are looking for specific information but cannot find it, we can see this through cookies for statistics. This way, we know how to make the webshop more user-friendly. We do not trace the statistics and other reports back to individuals. For these cookies, your consent is not necessary because they process personal data.

Social Media Cookies
The content you view on our webshop can be shared via social media buttons. When you click on the button, social networks place cookies on your computer, phone, or tablet. We only place the buttons if you give us permission for this. These cookies allow these social networks to see what you are doing on the internet. The cookies that these social networks place and how long the cookies are stored depends on the social network you use. Buddha to Buddha has no influence on this. If you want to know what the social media platforms do with your personal data, please read the relevant privacy statement:
• Facebook
• Instagram
• YouTube
• Pinterest

Our webshop contains videos that work via YouTube and Vimeo. To watch these videos, social media cookies are also necessary. For more information about these cookies and the privacy statement of these cookie providers, see the cookie table below.

Advertising Cookies
We use these cookies to see which pages you have visited on our webshop. We use this information to display relevant Buddha to Buddha advertisements on other websites you visit. Additionally, cookies ensure that we remember your visit. The collected data is shared with third parties, such as advertisers. We collaborate with advertising partners like Google or Facebook for this purpose. We measure how many people click on our ads and how many of them buy our product. This helps us improve our digital marketing. Through these partners, we can also search for other target groups that might find our advertisements interesting. This way, Buddha to Buddha can offer you targeted information in which you have shown interest. For example, if you have looked at bracelets on our webshop, we may offer you a matching ring. We only place these cookies if you give us permission.

We also show you Buddha to Buddha advertisements on other websites. For this, we use so-called advertising networks. Not all advertisements use cookies. There are also general offers that apply to anyone visiting our webshop or another website. If you disable cookies, it is still possible to see Buddha to Buddha advertisements.
