Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 5, 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how Shimvornchor (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses them on our website https://shimvornchor.world (the “Site”), and how you can manage your preferences. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we process personal data generally.
We use cookies and similar technologies to provide and improve our Site, to remember your choices, and to understand how the Site is used. Where required by law (e.g. under the GDPR or ePrivacy rules), we will only use non-essential cookies with your consent.
2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
2.1 Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your actions and preferences (e.g. language, consent choices), and to collect information about how the site is used. Cookies can be “first-party” (set by us) or “third-party” (set by a domain other than ours, e.g. an analytics provider).
2.2 Session and persistent cookies
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They allow us to recognise you on return visits and to apply your preferences over time.
2.3 Similar technologies
We may also use technologies that perform a similar function to cookies, such as:
- Local storage: data stored in your browser (e.g. HTML5 local storage) to remember preferences or state.
- Session storage: temporary storage that is cleared when the browser session ends.
- Scripts and pixels: small pieces of code that may load when you view a page and can collect usage data or enable certain features.
In this policy, we use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and these similar technologies where appropriate.
3. Categories of cookies we use
We classify our cookies into the following categories. Your consent is required for non-essential categories where applicable under the law.
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function. They enable core features such as security, network management, load balancing, and remembering your cookie consent choices. The Site cannot be used properly without them. They do not store personally identifiable information in a way that is used for profiling or marketing. We do not need your consent to use strictly necessary cookies, but you can set your browser to block or delete cookies (which may affect Site functionality).
Examples: session identifier, cookie consent storage, security token.
3.2 Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site (e.g. which pages are visited, how long users stay, and how they navigate). This information is used in aggregate to improve the Site and user experience. Analytics data may be processed by us or by trusted service providers. We use analytics only in accordance with our Privacy Policy and, where required, with your consent. You can refuse or withdraw consent for analytics cookies via our cookie banner or Cookie settings.
Examples: page view counters, referral source, device type, general usage statistics.
3.3 Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to deliver relevant content or ads, to measure the effectiveness of campaigns, or to limit how often you see an ad. They may be set by us or by advertising partners. We use marketing cookies only with your consent. You can refuse or withdraw consent via our cookie banner or Cookie settings.
Examples: ad targeting, conversion tracking, retargeting (where we use such features).
4. Detailed list of cookies (summary)
The following is a summary of the types of cookies we may use. The exact names, duration, and providers may change over time; we will keep this policy updated.
- Consent / preference storage: Strictly necessary. Stores your cookie consent choices. Duration: as set when you make your choice (e.g. 12 months). First-party.
- Session and security: Strictly necessary. Used for session management and security. Duration: session or short-lived. First-party.
- Analytics: Analytics. Used to understand Site usage. Duration: as per our analytics provider; typically up to 24 months. First- or third-party depending on implementation.
- Marketing (if used): Marketing. Used for advertising or campaign measurement only with consent. Duration: as per provider. Third-party where applicable.
For the most up-to-date list, you can inspect cookies stored by the Site using your browser’s developer tools (e.g. Application or Storage tab) or contact us using the details below.
5. Legal basis and consent (GDPR / ePrivacy)
Where the GDPR or national ePrivacy rules apply:
- Strictly necessary cookies: We rely on our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website. Consent is not required for these, but you can still block all cookies in your browser (which may affect functionality).
- Analytics and marketing cookies: We use these only with your consent. You give consent via our cookie banner (“Accept all”) or via “Cookie settings” (where you can enable or disable categories). You may withdraw consent at any time by changing your settings or clearing cookies.
We will not use non-essential cookies until you have accepted them (or accepted specific categories in Cookie settings). Your choice is stored in a cookie or local storage so we can remember it on your next visit.
6. How to manage your preferences
6.1 On our Site
When you first visit the Site, you will see a cookie banner. You can:
- Accept all: consent to all categories of cookies we use (strictly necessary, analytics, marketing).
- Reject: only strictly necessary cookies will be used; analytics and marketing cookies will not be set.
- Cookie settings: open the settings panel and turn analytics and/or marketing cookies on or off. Strictly necessary cookies remain always on. Save your preferences to apply your choice.
You can change your mind at any time by revisiting the cookie banner (e.g. via a link in the footer) or by clearing your cookies and revisiting the Site to see the banner again.
6.2 In your browser
Most browsers allow you to:
- View and delete cookies (e.g. via Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies).
- Block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
- Use private or incognito mode to limit cookie storage.
Blocking or deleting cookies may affect how the Site works (e.g. you may need to set your preferences again, or some features may not function). For instructions, check your browser’s help section (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
7. Retention of cookie data
Cookie data is kept only for as long as necessary for the purpose of each cookie. Session cookies are removed when you close the browser. Persistent cookies are stored for the duration indicated in section 4 or until you delete them. Our Privacy Policy describes how long we retain personal data that may be collected via cookies.
8. Third-party cookies and links
Some cookies may be set by third parties (e.g. analytics or advertising partners). Those parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We select partners that commit to appropriate data protection standards. We do not control cookies set by third parties once you have consented to their use. To manage third-party cookies, you can use our Cookie settings or your browser options.
Our Site may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the cookie or privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read their policies.
9. Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. We will post the updated version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. If we make material changes that affect your rights or how we use cookies, we may take additional steps to inform you (e.g. a notice on the Site or a new consent prompt). Please review this policy periodically.
