At SD Press (https://sdpress.eu.com), we respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, SD Press) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., analytics).
Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our websites to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our websites for analytics and other purposes.
What types of cookies do we use and how do we use them?
- Essential website cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
- Analytics cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our website for you. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
- Functional cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the functionality of our website but are non-essential to its use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality like videos may become unavailable or you would be required to enter your login details every time you visit the website as we would not be able to remember that you had logged in previously.
- Marketing cookies: These cookies are used by third-party vendors like SendFox to track the performance of our newsletter sign-up forms and to tailor marketing to you based on your browsing activities and interests.
- E-commerce cookies: When our shop pages go live, we will use cookies to manage the cart process, retain order details, and provide seamless checkout experiences.
- Payment processing cookies: These are used to enable transactions on our website, including those using payment services like Stripe.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
