Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about the cookies and similar tracking technologies used on the website florawashing.world, operated by Florawashing, located at 85 Pike St, Seattle, WA 98101, USA. Contact: assist@florawashing.world, Phone: +1 206-682-7453.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more broadly. By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to website owners.

Cookies can be "session cookies" (temporary and deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They can be "first-party cookies" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party cookies" (set by a domain other than the one you are visiting).

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixel tags, and web beacons. Where this policy refers to "cookies," it includes these similar technologies unless otherwise stated.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze website traffic, and measure advertising effectiveness. We categorize cookies into three groups based on their purpose and your ability to control them through our cookie consent banner.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided. These cookies do not require your consent under GDPR because they are strictly necessary for the operation of the website.

Examples of strictly necessary cookies we use:

• Consent storage cookie: Stores your cookie preference choices so we do not ask you on every visit. Duration: 12 months.
• Session security cookie: Helps maintain secure connections and prevent cross-site request forgery. Duration: Session.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously or in aggregated form. This data helps us improve our educational content, navigation structure, and overall user experience. Analytics cookies are only activated when you provide consent through our cookie banner or cookie settings panel.

Information collected may include:

• Number of visitors and page views
• Time spent on pages
• Navigation paths through the website
• Referral sources (how you arrived at our site)
• Device and browser information
• General geographic location (country/region level)

Analytics data is retained for up to 26 months and is not used to identify you personally unless combined with other data you have voluntarily provided.

3.3 Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners. Marketing cookies are only activated with your explicit consent.

These cookies may be used to:

• Measure ad impressions and click-through rates
• Understand which advertising channels bring visitors to our site
• Deliver relevant content based on your interests

We do not use marketing cookies to collect sensitive personal information. You can withdraw consent for marketing cookies at any time through our cookie settings.

4. Cookie Consent Management

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the page. You have three options:

• Accept All: Enables all cookie categories including analytics and marketing cookies.
• Reject: Declines all non-essential cookies. Only strictly necessary cookies will be used.
• Cookie Settings: Opens a detailed panel where you can toggle analytics and marketing cookies individually while keeping strictly necessary cookies always enabled.

Your consent preferences are stored locally on your device and respected on subsequent visits. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, or by contacting us at assist@florawashing.world to request guidance on updating your preferences.

We require all third-party cookie providers to comply with applicable data protection laws and to process data only according to our instructions and your consent preferences.
