We respect your privacy and aim to provide clear information about the technologies used on our website and the choices available to you.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website.

They allow websites to recognize your browser, remember certain settings, maintain shopping cart functionality, and support other features.

Cookies may be:

• Session cookies: Temporary cookies that generally expire when you close your browser.

• Persistent cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

• First-party cookies: Cookies placed by the website you are visiting.

• Third-party cookies: Cookies placed by third-party services integrated into the website.

We may also use similar technologies, including tracking pixels, browser storage, and scripts. These technologies may be subject to similar privacy and consent requirements.

3. How We Use Cookies

ESSENCORIA uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• To operate and secure our online store.

• To maintain shopping carts and checkout functionality.

• To support customer accounts and login sessions.

• To remember selected website preferences, such as language or currency.

• To understand website performance and visitor interactions.

• To measure advertising effectiveness.

• To support relevant advertising where consent has been provided.

Not all cookies described in this Policy will necessarily be active during every visit. Their use depends on the features enabled, your consent choices, and the services integrated into our website.

4. Categories of Cookies

4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the essential operation, security, and functionality of our online store.

These cookies may support:

• Shopping cart functionality.

• Checkout and payment processes.

• Customer authentication.

• Fraud prevention and website security.

• Session management.

• Remembering your privacy and consent choices.

These cookies do not require prior consent where they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested or to transmit communications.

You can configure your browser to block certain cookies, but doing so may prevent essential website functions from operating correctly.

4.2 Functional and Preference Cookies

Functional and preference cookies help our website remember certain choices, such as:

• Preferred language.

• Selected currency.

• Regional settings.

• Other optional personalization preferences.

Where these technologies are not strictly necessary, we request your consent before activating them.

You may change your preferences at any time through our cookie consent controls.

4.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website.

Depending on the tools enabled, they may collect information about:

• Pages visited.

• General website navigation.

• Website performance.

• Interactions with product pages.

• Technical errors and performance issues.

• Aggregated usage trends.

We use this information to evaluate and improve the performance, usability, and functionality of our store.

Non-essential analytics cookies and similar technologies are used only where the required consent has been obtained.

4.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies and tracking technologies may be used to measure advertising performance and support relevant advertising.

ESSENCORIA intends to use Meta Pixel, a technology provided by Meta Platforms, to help measure the effectiveness of advertising on Facebook and Instagram.

Depending on your consent and our configuration, Meta Pixel may collect or receive information about website interactions, such as product page visits, shopping cart activity, and purchases.

This information may be used for advertising measurement, attribution, and audience-related purposes.

Where required by applicable law, Meta Pixel and other non-essential marketing technologies will not be activated until you have provided valid consent.

You may refuse or withdraw consent to marketing cookies without preventing access to the essential functions of our online store.

For information about Meta's processing practices, please refer to Meta's privacy information:

5. Shopify Cookies

Our online store is powered by Shopify.

Shopify may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential store operations, customer accounts, shopping carts, checkout, security, and other services.

Depending on the features enabled and your privacy preferences, Shopify technologies may also support analytics, personalization, or marketing.

Examples of Shopify cookie identifiers that may be used include:

• _shopify_y and _shopify_s — commonly associated with Shopify analytics.

• _shopify_essential — associated with essential Shopify functionality.

• _secure_session_id — associated with secure session functionality.

• cart and cart_sig — associated with shopping cart functionality.

These examples are illustrative and do not constitute a verified inventory of all cookies currently active on our website.

Cookie names, purposes, providers, and expiration periods may change as Shopify updates its services.

6. Email Marketing Technologies

ESSENCORIA may use an email marketing service, such as Klaviyo or Omnisend, to manage newsletters, promotional communications, and customer engagement.

Depending on the service selected and features enabled, these providers may use cookies, tracking pixels, or similar technologies.

Non-essential website tracking by such providers will be subject to applicable consent requirements.

Consent to receive marketing emails is managed separately from consent to non-essential website cookies.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link included in the relevant message or by contacting us.

We will update this Policy as necessary to identify the actual marketing service and technologies used.

7. Your Cookie Choices and Consent

When you first visit ESSENCORIA, you may be presented with a cookie consent banner.

We use Shopify Customer Privacy features to help visitors manage their cookie preferences.

Depending on the available controls, you may be able to:

• Accept non-essential cookies.

• Reject non-essential cookies.

• Customize cookie preferences by category.

• Review or change previously selected preferences.

• Withdraw consent at any time.

Strictly necessary cookies remain active where they are required for the operation of the website.

Non-essential cookies and similar technologies requiring consent should remain disabled until valid consent has been obtained.

Refusing optional cookies does not prevent you from browsing our store or purchasing products, although certain optional features may be unavailable.

8. How to Change or Withdraw Consent

You may change or withdraw your consent at any time using the Cookie Preferences control provided on our website.

Where available, this control can be accessed through our website footer or the cookie consent interface.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Your updated preferences will apply to future processing covered by those consent settings.

Please note that withdrawing consent may not automatically remove cookies already stored on your device. You may also delete existing cookies through your browser settings.

If you cannot access the consent controls, please contact us at:

info@essencoria.com

9. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their privacy or security settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• View stored cookies.

• Delete existing cookies.

• Block certain cookies.

• Block third-party cookies.

• Clear cookies when closing the browser.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect shopping carts, customer accounts, checkout functionality, or other essential website features.

Browser settings do not necessarily replace the consent controls required for non-essential tracking technologies.

10. Third-Party Technologies

Certain third-party providers may process information collected through cookies or similar technologies used on our website.

Depending on the services enabled, these may include:

• Shopify, our e-commerce platform provider.

• Meta Platforms, for advertising measurement and marketing technologies.

• An email marketing service, if integrated.

• Other providers necessary to operate the website or provide requested services.

Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and applicable contractual arrangements.

We aim to ensure that any third-party technologies requiring consent are configured to respect visitors' choices.

11. International Data Transfers

Some technology providers may process personal information outside Lithuania or the European Economic Area.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we seek to rely on appropriate safeguards required by applicable data protection law, such as an adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable.

For more information about international transfers and the processing of personal information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

12. Cookie Retention Periods

Cookies may remain on your device for different periods depending on their purpose and provider.

Session cookies generally expire when the relevant browser session ends.

Persistent cookies may remain until their scheduled expiration date or until they are deleted.

The exact retention period depends on the specific technology, provider, and configuration.

We do not assign a single retention period to all cookies because different technologies serve different purposes.

A current, verified list of active cookies, their providers, purposes, and expiration periods should be made available through our cookie management information or an accompanying cookie inventory.

13. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies may be used without prior consent where permitted under applicable electronic communications and data protection rules.

For non-essential cookies and similar tracking technologies, we rely on your consent where required by law.

Where information collected through these technologies constitutes personal data, its subsequent processing is governed by the applicable legal bases and safeguards described in our Privacy Policy.

We aim to ensure that consent is freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous.

You may withdraw your consent as easily as you provided it.

14. Your Data Protection Rights

Where cookies or similar technologies involve the processing of personal data, you may have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the rights to:

• Access your personal data.

• Request correction of inaccurate information.

• Request erasure where applicable.

• Restrict certain processing activities.

• Object to certain processing.

• Receive data in a portable format where applicable.

• Withdraw consent.

• Lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.

15. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in website technologies, service providers, legal requirements, or business operations.

Any updated version will be published on our website with a revised date.

Where legally required, we will request renewed consent before using new or materially changed non-essential tracking technologies.
