This website uses cookies, and this policy applies to all visitors browsing the pages of this site.

The following information aims to provide visitors with details on the placement, use, and management of cookies by SC COFFEEAST SRL, hereinafter referred to as “COFFEEAST” through the website. Additionally, some useful links on this topic are provided.

1. Why Do We Use Cookies?

COFFEEAST uses both first-party and third-party cookies to provide visitors with an efficient and improved browsing experience, enhance website functionality, and generate anonymous statistics on how the website is used.

2. What Is a Cookie?

A cookie (also known as a browser cookie, tracking cookie, or HTTP cookie) is a small, often encrypted file composed of letters and numbers that is downloaded and stored on the visitor’s device (e.g., computer, mobile terminal) when accessing a website.

When an internet browser (e.g., Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Microsoft Edge) loads a webpage, it transmits information to the browser in the form of a text file (cookie). Each time a visitor accesses the website, the browser recognizes and transmits the cookie back to the website server.

A cookie usually contains only the website URL that created it, its lifespan, and a randomly generated unique number. Installed cookies are completely passive, meaning they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and cannot access, scan, or read information from the visitor’s device.

Besides cookies, similar technical means exist for the same purposes (e.g., pixels, widgets, device-associated identifiers). In this document, the term “cookie” includes both cookies and similar technologies.

Once installed, depending on their characteristics, cookies can track where a visitor left off on a site, uniquely identify a visitor, notify the website when they return, remember visitor preferences (e.g., language settings), or track browsing history.

Only the website server that sent the cookie can access it again when the visitor returns, enabling visitor recognition.

Cookies do not request personal data to function and, in most cases, do not reveal the visitor’s identity or personally identify internet users.

The lifespan of a cookie depends on its intended purpose and is usually determined. Based on duration, cookies fall into two categories:

  1. Session cookies – Temporarily stored in the browser’s cookie folder and deleted when the visitor exits the website or closes the browser. These act like bookmarks, helping the website remember selections when navigating pages. Without them, the site would not recognize previous actions (e.g., an online shopping cart would always be empty).
  2. Persistent or tracking cookies – Stored on the visitor’s device for a set duration or until manually deleted by the visitor. These cookies store visitor preferences (e.g., preferred language), improving or speeding up future browsing experiences.

3. What Types of Cookies Do We Use?

COFFEEAST uses the following types of cookies:

  • Essential cookies – Necessary for website functionality (e.g., navigation, access to secure areas). These cookies can be stored without visitor consent.
  • Preference cookies – Store user preferences (e.g., language or region settings).
  • Analytics/statistical cookies – Help COFFEEAST understand how visitors interact with the site by collecting anonymous data.
  • Advertising/marketing cookies – Track visitors to display relevant ads.

Cookies listed under preference, analytics, and advertising categories require visitor consent before use.

COFFEAST’s cookies collect the following visitor data for anonymous statistical reports:

  • Masked IP address
  • Location (country, region, city, approximate latitude & longitude)
  • Date and time of visit
  • Page titles viewed
  • URLs visited (current and previous page URLs)
  • Screen resolution
  • Local time zone
  • Downloaded files
  • Internal user ID
  • Browser and OS details
  • Device identifier (User-Agent header)
  • Campaign and event tracking data

4. Social Media Platforms

COFFEEAST integrates social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram,) to enhance online visibility. Social media icons are displayed on the COFFEEAST website. Clicking on these icons redirects visitors to the respective platforms. These platforms may process personal data and track interactions via cookies according to their own privacy policies, which visitors should review carefully.

5. How to Disable Cookies

When first accessing the website, COFFEEAST informs visitors about cookie usage through a pop-up window, where they can review cookie information, access the policy, select preferred cookies, or accept/refuse cookies. Essential cookies required for website functionality cannot be disabled.

Visitors can configure their browser to reject cookies or accept them from specific sites. Disabling essential or functionality cookies may affect website performance and limit certain features (e.g., returning to a previous page during a session).

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” feature to prevent tracking during browsing. Blocking cookies or enabling “Do Not Track” may disable certain site functionalities.
