1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Hercigne ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at hercigne.shop. It describes what cookies are, which types we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

By continuing to use our website after being presented with the cookie banner, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we process your personal data.

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 properly, to improve their efficiency, and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies do not typically contain information that directly identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies remain on your device for different lengths of time depending on their type — some expire when you close your browser (session cookies), while others persist for a set period (persistent cookies).

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as filling in a form or setting your cookie preferences. Without these cookies, parts of the website will not work properly.

3.2 Analytical / Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors interact with our website, so we can measure and improve its performance. All information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use these cookies to:

3.3 Functional Cookies

3.4 Marketing / Targeting Cookies

Please be aware that withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal, and strictly necessary cookies will remain active regardless of your preference, as they are required for the website to function.
