What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Think of them as tiny memory aids for websites, allowing them to remember your preferences, login details, or what you've added to your shopping cart.

These files play a crucial role in providing a seamless and personalized browsing experience. Without them, websites would treat you as a completely new visitor every time you navigate to a new page, making simple tasks like logging in repeatedly or remembering your language preferences cumbersome.

How Natural Balance & Botanical Beauty Uses Cookies

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functionalities such as secure login, shopping cart management, and remembering your privacy preferences. Without these cookies, crucial parts of our site would not function correctly, and we would be unable to provide basic services. They do not collect any personal information that could be used for marketing.

Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data to understand and improve how our website performs, ensuring a better user experience for everyone.

Functionality Cookies

Functionality cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, they can be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.

Targeting & Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

Third-Party Cookies

In some special cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. For example, our site uses Google Analytics, which is one of the most widespread and trusted analytics solutions on the web for helping us to understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience. These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the site and the pages that you visit.

Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Cookies can be either "session" or "persistent." Session cookies are deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain stored on your computer until deleted or until they reach their expiry date. We use both types to optimize different aspects of your browsing experience, from temporary login sessions to remembering long-term preferences.
