Thés de la Pagode hereby informs you that, when you visit the THÉS DE LA PAGODE site using any computer device at the address www.thesdelapagode.com/en, as well as if you are using the version for mobile phones and tablets, details about your browsing may be recorded on your device in files called cookies issued by Thés de la Pagode to make browsing easier as well as to tailor it.

 

For your information, the law now obliges internet sites to first obtain the consent of internet users before using any cookies other than those that are strictly necessary or cookies that are completely anonymous. Following the cookie recommendations from the CNIL, the French National Commission for Data Protection and Civil Liberties, this consent is mostly requested and accessed by means of an information banner on any of the site’s landing pages.

 

This is why, the first time you visit our site, a banner informs you that the Thés de la Pagode site uses cookies to store your preferences and to optimise your browsing experience on our site. It also informs you that, by continuing to browse, you accept our policy about cookies used by or for the site.

 

Please note that you can, if you wish, to choose to accept all cookies, or to reject all of them categorically, which therefore means no cookies will be stored (but it may then be impossible to access all of the site functions properly).

 

Thés de la Pagode cares about protecting the personal data of any visitors to the site and wishes to ensure that they benefit from the best means of data protection and privacy possible in compliance with the amended Data Protection Act.

 

This charter informs you of our cookie policy and explains how we use cookies on our site, while maintaining a suitable degree of protection.

 

1) What is a cookie?

A cookie is a simple text file stored on your device’s hard drive (whether it’s a computer, a smartphone or a tablet, etc.) and is issued by the server of the website you are visiting. It contains data such as the name of the server which stored it, a unique number, possibly an expiration date, and browsing information for the site pages you are visiting. It is therefore designed for sending information to the browser used by your device and to enable this browser to send back information to the site that placed the cookie on your device, such as for example a session identifier, the language used, the pages you visited on the site, information about your shopping basket or your account management, etc.

 

Only the cookie issuer can access this cookie and read or edit the information attached to the cookie during its retention period.

 

There are several categories of temporary or permanent cookies with different purposes:

·       session cookies that disappear when you leave the site;

·       cookies which are stored on your device until the expiration of their lifespan, unless you have chosen not to accept them initially or subsequently, or you have deleted them using your browser’s cookie management settings.

 

Cookies may be functional, strictly necessary (for which consent is not required), or for other purposes. These other cookies may also be for statistics, audience or performance measurements, for targeting or social networks data. They are installed by the site or by third parties authorised by the site.

Your device’s browsing characteristics and preferences are recorded using cookies, so if several people use the same device, their preferences will also be saved so the offers and services available as well as advertisements will therefore be tailored to suit each of these persons.

 

2) What cookies are used by THÉS DE LA PAGODE?

 

2.1 THÉS DE LA PAGODE cookies

During any visit to the site, THÉS DE LA PAGODE will use cookies which will be installed on your device after their request to you.
We would like to add that other cookies with the same purpose may be installed later.

 

2.2 THIRD PARTY Cookies

Cookies are also likely to be placed by partner companies (third-party cookies). The purpose of these cookies is mostly to identify your areas of interest through the products viewed or purchased on our site and to collect browsing data in order to tailor the ads sent to you outside the site:  https://en.thesdelapagode.com/ or for specific objectives.

 

The cookies used on the site are from third parties (partners, advertising agencies, social networks) who are selected carefully by THÉS DE LA PAGODE. The issuing and use of these third-party cookies are subject to the "privacy protection policies and cookies" of these third parties. THÉS DE LA PAGODE has no access to or control over third-party cookies.

 

3) Purpose of the cookies that THÉS DE LA PAGODE uses

 

Not all of the cookies we use are fully listed below.
If other purposes are added after your first visit, you will be informed by a new banner which will then appear on your device, as well as an update to this charter, notifying you of the new purposes. 

 

3.1 Functional cookies

 

These are cookies placed by THÉS DE LA PAGODE on your device so that you can browse our website as well as for optimising and customising our services on the site.

 

Some strictly necessary functional cookies are essential for browsing our site and to be able to use all of its features.

 

For example, these enable you to log in to your account securely, or to access your shopping basket.

 

Storing essential cookies on your device does not require prior consent and these cookies must not be deleted if you want to be able to use all of the site’s functions. Deleting the corresponding cookie(s) may prevent or limit these functions. 

 
Other functional cookies enable you to browse our site with full functionality such as displaying images, basket addition windows, etc.

 

3.2 Advertising cookies

 

These are cookies placed by third-party companies (for example advertising agencies or by partners) in order to identify your areas of interest through the products viewed or purchased on our site and to tailor the ads you see on or outside our site.

 

3.3 Analytical cookies

 

These cookies are used to find out, for example, the number of visitors to the site, the number of pages viewed, the type of visitors, etc. They are also used to identify the source of visits to the site or the most viewed products, error pages, etc.

 

3.4 Cookies from social networks

 

THÉS DE LA PAGODE uses social networking apps to create a community based on the subject of tea, tea culture, traditions and benefits.

 

Cookies may therefore be saved via our site on your device by social networks when you use network buttons such as “Facebook”, “Pinterest” and “Twitter”.

 

The social network is likely to identify you through the app button, if you use it, but also if you do not use it during your visit to our site when your social network session is open on your device (or generally when your account on the social network concerned is activated). If you do not wish the network to do this, you must close your sessions on social networks before viewing or navigating our site.

 

We recommend you to carefully read the general conditions and "privacy and cookie protection policies" of these social networks so that you are fully informed about these cookies and to apply your choices for these social networks by setting your parameters on your accounts with each of these social networks. THÉS DE LA PAGODE can in no way be held responsible for management of your personal data these social networks via the app buttons, which you have agreed to by continuing to browse our site without having previously closed your session on these social networks.

For more information about these apps, please see paragraph 4.2.
