This Cookie Policy explains how clipvibeeffects (the “Data Controller”, located in Lithuania) uses cookies and similar digital operational methods when you visit or make a purchase on www.clipvibeeffects.com (the “Website”).
By continuing to browse our Website, you acknowledge the use of cookies as described in this policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed onto your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely utilised to make websites function properly, facilitate user navigation, and provide operational information to the website owners.
2. Categories of Cookies We Utilise
We implement the following categories of cookies to maintain the operational integrity and functionality of our Website:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are fundamental for the Website to operate. They enable core functions such as navigating product pages, adding digital items to your shopping cart, and completing the checkout process. Without these cookies, the core services you request cannot be provided.
- Payment Processing Cookies (Stripe): All financial transactions on our Website are processed by our payment processing partner, Stripe. When you proceed to checkout, Stripe places strictly necessary cookies on your device. These specific cookies are mandatory to process your payment, authenticate the transaction, and mitigate fraudulent activities.
- Analytical Cookies: These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and see how visitors move around our Website. This helps us improve the way our Website works. All data collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
3. Stripe and Third-Party Cookies
As mentioned above, Stripe sets its own cookies to facilitate your purchase. We do not have direct control over these external cookies. Stripe collects, processes, and stores the information generated by these cookies in accordance with their own global privacy standards and legal obligations.
Please note that blocking these strictly necessary payment cookies will impair your ability to complete a purchase on our Website.
4. Data Retention Periods
The duration a cookie remains on your device depends on its type, alongside our compliance with Lithuanian and European Union laws:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary and are automatically deleted from your device the moment you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device after your browser is closed, typically to remember your preferences for your next visit. Our analytical and preference cookies generally expire within a period not exceeding 12 months.
- Statutory Financial Retention: Any personal or transactional data derived from payment cookies during a successful purchase is retained to satisfy legal, regulatory, and tax obligations in Lithuania and the European Union. Such transactional records are mandatorily retained for up to ten years.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have the right to choose whether or not to accept non-essential cookies. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies, delete existing cookies, or notify you when a new cookie is set.
Please be aware that if you adjust your browser settings to block all cookies (including strictly necessary cookies), you may not be able to access all parts of our Website, and you will not be able to complete a purchase.
6. Operational Limitations
We implement standard commercial measures to manage the data collected by our Website. However, please acknowledge that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be considered entirely infallible. Absolute certainty regarding the invulnerability of data transmission cannot be provided, and no absolute claims are made regarding the elimination of all potential risks.
7. Amendments to This Policy
We reserve the right to revise this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our operational practices or regulatory requirements. Any updates will be published directly on this page with a revised effective date.
