Seprina - Shop Local, Buy Global

This Cookie and Similar Technologies Policy (the "Cookie Policy") supplements the Seprina Privacy Policy and describes how we handle personal information that we collect through our digital properties that link to this Cookie Policy, including our website and mobile application (collectively, the "Service"), and through social media, our marketing activities, and other activities as described in this Cookie Policy.

1. Introduction to Cookies and Similar Technologies

When you visit any website, it may store or retrieve information on your browser, mostly in the form of cookies. This information might be about you, your preferences, or your device, and is mostly used to make the site work as you expect it to. The information does not usually directly identify you, but it can give you a more personalized web experience.

Cookies allow web servers to record users’ web browsing activity and remember their submissions, preferences, and login status as they navigate a website. Cookies used on our sites include "session cookies" that are deleted at the end of a session, "persistent cookies" that are retained for longer periods of time, "first-party" cookies that we manage, and "third-party" cookies that our third-party business partners and service providers place.

Local storage technologies, such as HTML5, provide equivalent services to cookies but can store large amounts of data related to a particular application on devices outside of your browser.
Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email address was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked.

Because we respect your right to privacy, you can choose not to allow some types of cookies. However, blocking some types of cookies may impact your experience of the site and the services we are able to offer.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

We categorize our cookies and similar technologies into the following five groups:

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, maintaining the security and integrity of the website, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work.

B. Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They help us remember the settings you choose on Seprina so that they work the way you want them to (such as your language and currency preferences). They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.

C. Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. They assist in providing data on the functionality and speed of the website and mobile application. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

D. Targeting Cookies (Interest-Based Advertising)

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. We may also share information about our users with these companies to facilitate interest-based advertising to those or similar users on third-party platforms. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. If you do not allow these cookies, you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.

3. Your Choices

Some Internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit. We currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” or similar signals.

We reserve the right to modify this Cookie Policy at any time. If we make material changes to this Cookie Policy, we will notify you by updating the date of this Cookie Policy, posting it on the Service, or providing notice required by applicable laws.
