This Cookie Policy defines how Etherplaquepost, operating via the primary domain www.etherplaquepost.com, utilizes cookies and comparable data-tracking mechanisms. As a registered retail business operating from Germany and serving consumers across Europe and the United States, we maintain a transparent, legally aligned framework regarding digital data gathering.
1. Data Controller Identity
The entity responsible for the placement and management of cookies under this policy is the registered operating company of the domain:
Registered Office Address: Max Mustermann, Musterstraße 123, 10115 Berlin, GERMANY
Corporate Support Email: picture@etherplaquepost.com
2. Operational Methodology & Customer Choice
Our platform operates on a strict user-consent framework. We utilize an active cookie consent banner to grant visitors complete choice over their data footprint.
Essential Data Handling: Necessary cookies required solely for basic website operations, item selections, and shopping cart functions are deployed automatically upon site access to maintain operational usability.
Consensual Deployment: Non-essential cookies, including analytical data and regional markers, are deactivated by default. We will only deploy these tracking components once a consumer intentionally clicks the “Accept” choice on our cookie banner. Users retain the liberty to modify or decline these non-essential preferences at any moment through their local web browser configurations.
3. Categories of Cookies & Third-Party Integration
We classify the digital mechanisms utilized on our platform into clear operational divisions:
Strictly Necessary First-Party Cookies: These are internal identifiers managed directly by Etherplaquepost to preserve session statuses, cart items, and regional display preferences.
Third-Party Transactional Cookies (Stripe): To facilitate secure digital order processing, our checkout interface integrates mandatory third-party elements provided by our external payment processor, Stripe. These specific third-party cookies are essential for risk evaluation, fraud mitigation, and executing commercial billing. They are handled independently according to Stripe’s corporate data frameworks.
4. Data Retention Thresholds
In absolute compliance with German, wider European Economic Area (EEA), and North American privacy mandates, cookies are strictly limited by time retention boundaries to prevent unnecessary data persistence:
Session Cookies: These temporary data markers expire immediately and are automatically erased from your local system device upon closing the active web browser session.
Persistent Cookies: These structural data markers remain on your browser device for a predefined duration to recognize previous regional preferences or verify consent choices. In accordance with statutory guidelines, persistent operational elements on our domain do not exceed a maximum retention period of twelve (12) months from the date of initial user authorization, after which they are systematically purged.
5. Administrative Communications
For explicit inquiries regarding our cookie management framework, data processing boundaries, or to submit a preference clearance request, please contact our administrative desk. Our operational framework ensures that all compliant queries are reviewed and addressed within twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) working hours.
