Cookies
BotaniBrands and its partners use cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, manage the website, track users’ movements on the website and collect socio-demographic information about our user base as a whole.
We use “cookies” to help to personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard drive by a web server. Cookies are not used to run programmes or install viruses on your computer. They are personally assigned to you and can only be read by a web server located in the domain issuing the cookie.
Cookies are used mainly to save you time. The function of a cookie is to inform the web server that you have returned to consult a specific page. When you revisit a website, the information you previously provided is retrieved so that you can more easily use custom features.
You can accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser settings to opt out if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, the interactive features of the website you are viewing may be affected. BotaniBrands keeps a list of the pages you visit, to determine which section of the website is the most popular or the most used.
This data is used to offer promotions and personalized content to customers whose behaviour indicates that they are interested in a specific area. Your browsing data (cookies) on our website will be kept for 13 months, in accordance with regulations.
Log files
We may collect socio-demographic information such as your postal code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favourites, using log files not associated with your name or other personal information.
We also automatically collect certain information about your computer hardware and software. This information may include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, Internet Service Provider (ISP), files viewed on our website (eg HTML pages, images, etc.), operating system, browsing data, access times and original websites addresses.
This information is used by BotaniBrands to maintain the quality of its services and to obtain general statistics on the use of the BotaniBrands website. For these purposes, we combine this automatically collected data with personal information such as name, email address and phone number.
Invisible Gifs (web beacons/internet tags)
We use software technology called web beacons (also known as web bugs), which help us to better manage the website by telling us which content is most effective.
Web beacons are very small images provided with a unique ID, performing a similar function to cookies, and used to track the online movements of Web users. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the hard disk of the user’s computer, web beacons are seamlessly embedded on web pages or e-mails, and are no bigger than the dot at the end of this sentence.
We use web beacons in our HTML emails to identify emails that have been opened by recipients. This allows us to measure the effectiveness of certain messaging and, more generally, for our marketing campaigns. We combine the information collected by web beacons in emails with our customers’ personal data.
If you do not wish to receive these emails, see the “Exclusion and unsubscribe” section.
Flash cookies and other third-party tracing technologies
Adobe Flash Player (and similar applications) uses this technology to retain a user’s settings, preferences and habits in the same way as cookies, but this information is managed through a different interface than that provided by your web browser. This technology creates locally stored objects that are often called “Flash cookies”.
BotaniBrands does not use Flash cookies. You can access your Flash management tools on the Adobe website from here directly.
Third-party tracing technologies
The use of cookies and web beacons designed by tracing system companies is not covered by our privacy policy.
