Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how StickerEnScene ("the website") uses cookies and similar technologies. It describes the categories of cookies that may operate on visitors’ devices, the purposes for which these technologies are used, and the choices available for managing consent.
This policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy, which outlines how personal information may be collected, processed, and stored when cookies interact with identifiable data. The website does not use targeted advertising, profiling, or behavioral tracking as defined under applicable U.S. state privacy laws.

2. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on a device when a website is accessed. They may contain identifiers, preferences, or small segments of technical information used to support functions such as page navigation or session management.
Cookies can be classified as “first-party” when placed by the website itself, or “third-party” when placed by external service providers supporting website operations. The website aims to limit cookies to what is necessary for core functionality and aggregated analytics.

3. Types of Cookies Used on This Website

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies enable essential website functions, such as secure navigation, server communication, and access controls. They support features that allow pages to load correctly and maintain a stable user experience.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require visitor consent because the website cannot function properly without them.

3.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies store non-essential preferences, such as language settings or display options. They help maintain a consistent experience but are not required for the website to operate.
Disabling functional cookies may require visitors to reenter preferences during subsequent visits. Consent may be required depending on the jurisdiction.

3.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help generate aggregated, non-identifying information about how visitors interact with the website. Examples may include pages viewed, approximate duration of visits, and general patterns of navigation.
Data collected through analytics cookies is not used to build profiles, assess behavior, or deliver targeted advertising. Analytics are implemented to support website performance, improve clarity of content, and maintain operational reliability.
These cookies require consent, and they are not activated unless the visitor agrees to their use.

3.4 Advertising Cookies

The website does not use targeted advertising cookies or behavioral tracking technologies.
If advertising-related cookies are ever introduced in the future, they will remain non-targeted and contextual only. The Cookie Policy will be updated accordingly, and the website will provide clear consent options before enabling such tools.

4. Cookie Duration

Cookies may operate for varying lengths of time depending on their purpose:

- Session cookies remain active only while the visitor’s browser is open and are deleted once the session ends.
- Persistent cookies remain stored until their expiration date or until manually removed through browser settings.

The website aims to minimize cookie duration and retain only what is required for essential functions or aggregated analytics. Specific durations may vary based on technical requirements.

5. Cookie Banner and Consent Management

When visitors access the website for the first time, a cookie banner may appear describing categories of cookies and options to provide or withhold consent. Non-essential cookies—such as functional or analytics cookies—are not activated without explicit approval.
The banner does not contain pre-selected checkboxes. Visitors must make an active choice. At any time, visitors may revisit the cookie settings interface, where available, to modify or withdraw consent.
Consent preferences apply only to this website and do not extend to external sites.

6. Managing Cookies Through Browser Settings

Most browsers allow visitors to manage cookies manually, including blocking, restricting, or deleting cookies. Choices made through browser settings may affect the functionality of the website, particularly features dependent on strictly necessary or functional cookies.
Instructions for cookie management vary by device and browser. Visitors who delete cookies may see the cookie banner again on their next visit because the website cannot detect previously stored preferences.

7. Relationship Between Cookies and Personal Data

Some cookies may interact with personal information, such as general IP-related data or identifiers generated by servers. When this occurs, the processing of such information is governed by the Privacy Policy.
The website does not combine cookie data with additional datasets to create user profiles. Cookies are not used to infer financial interests, behavioral patterns, or decision-making tendencies.
The website does not sell or share personal information generated through cookies, nor does it engage in targeted advertising under applicable state privacy laws.

8. Third-Party Cookies and External Services

The website may rely on service providers for hosting, infrastructure security, or analytics. These providers may place cookies necessary for their basic operational functions.
All such providers act under contractual obligations that limit data use to operational or security-related tasks. The website does not allow external services to use data collected through cookies for independent commercial activities or promotional purposes.

9. Updates to This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or website functionality. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy reflects the most recent revision.
Visitors are encouraged to review this policy regularly to stay informed about cookie-related practices.
