What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that is saved on your computer when you visit a website. This text file stores information that can be read by the website on your subsequent visits. Some cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the site (e.g. a cookie allows to link the shopping basket created by you to its storage on our servers).

In order to protect your personal data and to prevent any loss of information or unlawful behaviour, La Semeuse SA takes appropriate organisational and technical measures.

Are there any cookies of third-party providers (third-party cookies)?

La Semeuse SA enlists the services of some advertising partners who help to make the products offered on the Internet and the websites more interesting to you. That is why cookies of partner companies are saved on your hard disk as well when you visit the websites. These are temporary or permanent cookies that delete themselves automatically after the specified period of time. These temporary or permanent cookies (lifespan 14 days to 10 years) are saved on your hard disk and delete themselves after the specified period of time. The cookies of our partner companies do not contain any personal data, either. Pseudonymity is ensured as data are only collected under a user ID. These data include information about which products were looked at, whether something was purchased, which products were searched, etc. In this process, some of our advertising partners not only collect information about the websites you have visited, but also about the pages you have viewed before or which products you have shown interest in, for instance, in order to be able to deliver advertising to you that best reflects your interests. These pseudonymous and anonymised data will not be linked to your personal data at any time. They exclusively serve the purpose of enabling our advertising partners to target you with advertising that might actually interest you.

The following third-party cookies are used:

Google Analytics
Google AdWords (conversion tracking)
Google AdWords Remarketing
Facebook Remarketing

Remarketing/retargeting

Our website uses remarketing/retargeting technologies. We use these technologies in order to make the product range offered on the Internet more interesting to you. This technology allows us to target Internet users who showed interest for our shop and our products with advertisements on the websites of our partners. We are convinced that the display of personalised interest-based advertising is generally more interesting to the Internet user than advertising that does not have such a personal connection. The display of these advertisements on the pages of our partners is based on a cookie technology and an analysis of previous user behaviour. This form of advertising is done on an entirely pseudonymous basis. No personal data are saved and user profiles are not linked to you personal data, either.
In order to protect your personal data and to prevent any loss of information or unlawful behaviour, appropriate organisational and technical measures are taken.
