3. Cookies

You are not required to accept cookies to visit our site. However, please note that the functionality of our site and services is limited if you do not allow us to set cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your data carrier that save certain settings and data to enable exchanges with our system via your browser.In principle, there are two types of cookies: session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and temporary/permanent cookies, which are stored for a longer period or permanently on your data storage device. This storage allows us to tailor our website and offers accordingly and to facilitate your use by saving certain data, for example, so you do not have to enter it repeatedly.

What cookies are used by Studio Matongé ?

Most of the cookies we use are automatically deleted from your hard drive when you leave your browser (end of session, hence the term session cookies). Session cookies are used, for example, to offer you the shopping cart function across multiple pages. In addition, we also use cookies that are installed on your hard drive.During your next visit, you will be automatically recognized, as well as your preferred entries and settings. These temporary and permanent cookies (lasting from one month to 10 years) are stored on your hard drive and are automatically deleted after the defined period. These cookies are used in particular to make our site more welcoming, more efficient, and safer. The cookies are exclusively used to best adapt our offer to the wishes of our customers and to allow you to browse our site as comfortably as possible.

What data is stored in the cookies?

Only pseudonymous data is stored in the cookies used by Studio Matongé. When the cookie is activated, an identification number is assigned to it and your personal data is in no way associated with this identification number.Your name, your IP address, or any similar data allowing a direct assignment of the cookie to your person are not stored on the cookie. Based on cookie technology, we only receive pseudonymized information, such as which pages of our shop you have visited, which products you have viewed, etc.

Are there also cookies from other providers?

Studio Matongé uses certain advertising partners who help us make the online offer and website more interesting. Thus, cookies from partner companies are also stored on your hard drive when you visit our site. These are temporary/permanent cookies that are automatically deleted at the end of the defined period. These temporary and permanent cookies (lasting from 14 days to 10 years) are stored on your hard drive and delete themselves after the defined period.Even the cookies from our partner companies contain only pseudonymous data, or most of the time, anonymous data. For example, this may include data related to the products you have viewed, whether you have purchased something, which products have been searched for, etc. Some of our advertising partners also collect, in addition to on-site activity, information about previously viewed pages or products you have shown interest in, in order to display advertising that best matches your interests.

Retargeting

Our site uses so-called retargeting technologies. We use these technologies to make the online offer more interesting. This technique allows us to present advertising on our partners' websites to users who have already shown interest in our store and our products.We are convinced that the insertion of personalized advertising based on interests is more appealing to internet users than non-personalized advertising. The insertion of these advertising materials on our partners' websites is carried out using cookie technology and an analysis of your previous behavior. This form of advertising is carried out in a completely pseudonymous manner. When using our site, cookies are placed in order to collect, store, and use usage data. In addition, your data remains stored in the cookies when you leave your browser so that it can be reused during your next visit to the site.

As a general rule, the help function in your browser's menu bar will tell you how to refuse new cookies and block cookies already received.

4. Log files

Any access to the Studio Matongé website results in the transmission, by the browser, of usage data that will be recorded in log files, known as server log files. The recorded data blocks contain the following data: date and time of access, name of the site accessed, IP address, referrer URL (original URL from which you arrived at the site), volume of data transferred, product and information about the version of the browser used.

We analyze these data blocks contained in log files in order to improve our offer and the Studio Matongé store and make them more welcoming, to find errors more quickly and remedy them, and to manage server capacities. At the same time, we use the data blocks contained in the log files to block attacks on our Studio Matongé store, such as so-called denial-of-service attacks that aim to block access to our Studio Matongé store by overloading it with requests.

5. Web Analysis

In order to continuously improve and optimize our offer, we use so-called tracking technologies. For this purpose, we use the services of Google Analytics.

The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of the Google Analytics service is not merged with other data held by Google.
