Cookies
We use cookies for a wide range of purposes on our website and in our email communications to deliver our services and to improve your experience. We’re now also implementing a way for trusted partners to share those learnings, and enhance the experience on their website. This policy describes the categories of cookies that we use (and used by our partners), what they are used for, and how you can change your preferences.
What are ‘cookies’?
Cookies are small bites of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. Every time you revisit our website, your web browser sends these cookies back to us so that we can customise your experience to better match your interests and preferences, or to simply facilitate your signing in to use our services.
What cookies do we use?
The cookies we use allow us to recognise each returning consumer and their relevant information so that you do not need to input the same information more than once. They also help us to understand visitor traffic patterns through our website, so that we can enhance usability.
Take a look at some of the types of cookies that are used across our website:
Essential Cookies
We may use essential cookies in order to enable you to receive the services that you request via our website. Without these cookies, services that you have asked for cannot be provided.
For example, these cookies may be used to:
Operate and remember the items that you place in your ‘shopping basket’ when using the Maria Dalcielo store
Allow you to access secure areas of our website without having to continually log in to the service
Remember previous actions you have taken (such as completing an online form) when navigating back to a page in the same session
Performance cookies modules
We may use performance cookies to collect information about how our website, advertisements and email communications are used and to flag to us if an error occurs. These cookies may be used to collect quite detailed technical information such as the last visited Page, the number of pages visited, whether or not email communications are opened, which parts of our website or email communication are clicked on and the length of time between clicks. While this information may be associated with details such as your IP address, domain or browser information, it is analysed only in aggregate with information from other users and not in a way that would directly identify you.
For example, these cookies may be used on our website to:
Analyse and improve the performance and design of our website, advertisements and email communications
Calculate the number of responses to our advertisements to improve the effectiveness of our advertising
Measure errors presented on our website to improve our service and management complaints
Referral cookies
We may access referral cookies that are sent to your device by the websites of our business partners. These cookies are used to identify each time our business partners refer someone to our website and whether or not that person’s visit results in the purchase of a Maria Dalcielo product or service. This information may be disclosed to our business partners, but only in an anonymous manner and not in a way that would directly identify you.
We use this information to meet our contractual obligations to our business partners and to assist them in improving the effectiveness of their websites.
Functional cookies
We may use functional cookies that are not essential but enable various helpful features on our website.
For example, these cookies may be used on our website to:
Remember the preferences that you selected on a previous visit to our website, such as, country/language, your interests and the presentation of our website (for instance, layout, font size, colours, etc), so you do not have to tell us again
Remember answers to questions our website has asked you, such as, not wishing to take part in a customer satisfaction questionnaire, so that you are not asked again
Detect if a service has already been offered to you, such as, an offer of live online help
Provide information to allow an optional service to function, such as, watching an online video or commenting on a blog
Targeting or advertising cookies
Targeting or advertising cookies may be used on our website to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. These cookies may collect quite detailed information about your browsing habits across our website (such as which products and services you have clicked on). They may also be used to recognise when you re-visit our website and/or visit a website that is part of one of our advertising partner’s network.
For example, these cookies may be used to collect information about the Maria Dalcielo products and services you have browsed or added to your shopping basket across our website so that:
Maria Dalcielo can provide you with adverts on their websites for the Maria Dalcielo products and services you have been viewing
Maria Dalcielo can personalise emails and other direct marketing communications you receive
Our advertising partners can provide you with adverts on other websites in their advertising network for the Maria Dalcielo products and services that you have been viewing
We can limit the number of times you see an advert, as well as measuring the effectiveness of an advertising campaign
These cookies may be stored and accessed by Maria Dalcielo and/or our advertising partners.
