Policy for Cookies & Related Technologies
Fistala would like you to know more about the web technologies that we use to run our web shop. These technologies are meant to provide as many people with the best browse and purchase experience possible, and provide advertising, site-experience, and other benefits to this end. You can read about this in further detail in this policy document.

In this policy, we‘ll refer to fistala.store and Fistala INC collectively as the “Site”. We‘ll refer to cookies and related technologies collectively as “Cookie Technologies.”

Types of Cookie Technologies

Cookies
Cookies are small data files sent from a server to your web browser. They are stored in your browser‘s cache and allow a website or a third party to recognize your browser. There are three primary types of cookies:

  • Session cookies are specific to a particular visit and carry information as you view different pages so you don‘t have to re-enter information every time you change pages or attempt to checkout. Session cookies expire and delete themselves automatically in a short period of time like after you leave the Site or when you close your web browser.

  • Persistent cookies remember certain information about your preferences for viewing the site, and allow us to recognize you each time you return. Persistent cookies are stored on your browser cache or mobile device until you choose to delete them, and otherwise typically delete themselves at expiration.

  • Third-party cookies are placed by a party other than Fistala INC, and may gather browsing activity across multiple websites and across multiple sessions. They are usually a type of persistent cookie and are stored until you delete them or they expire based on the time period set in each third-party cookie.

Cookies store data about your use, but they are helpful because they allow us to help the Site function and customize your experience.

Other Technologies
In addition to cookies, there are other similar technologies used by us and elsewhere on the web or in mobile ecosystems.

  • Web pixels: These are tiny graphics (sometimes called “clear GIFs” or “web beacons”) with a unique identifier that are used to understand browsing activity. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, web beacons are rendered invisibly on web pages when you open a page.

  • Social widgets: These are buttons or icons provided by third-party social media providers that allow you to interact with those social media services when you view a web page or a mobile app screen. These social widgets may collect browsing data, which may be received by the third party.

  • UTM codes: These are strings that can appear in a URL when a user moves from one web page or website to another, where the string can represent information about browsing, such as which advertisement, page, or publisher sent the user to the receiving website.

Purposes
We use Cookie Technologies to recognize your logged-in state on fistala.store, to understand what purchases members and visitors are interested in, to make our Site function for you, and to help your browsing experience feel more customized. More generally, we use Cookie Technologies for the following.

  • Security and Authentication (Strictly Necessary): Some cookie and similar technology functions are necessary and vital to ensuring that the Site works properly for visitors and members, such as maintaining the security, safety, and integrity of the Site, authentication and logging in (including remembering permissions and consents you have granted), and ensuring the ability to securely complete transactions.

  • Account and User Preferences: Some technologies are used to remember your account and preferences over time, such as remembering your account or keeping yourself logged in when returning to our Site, maintaining your choices on Site features and how you want the Site to appear, and customizing content based on how you use the Site.

  • Performance and Analytics: Some technologies help provide performance data on how the Site is functioning in order to improve it, including, for example, data on site functionality and speed to help us optimize it, how the Site is used to help us improve your experience, and detecting and gathering reporting on bugs.

  • Marketing Services: We partner with third-party service providers that may use various Cookie Technologies to permit us and them to learn about what ads you see and click when you visit fistala.store and affiliated sites or to show you ads on and off our Site. These may include things such as remarketing, which shows relevant ads to an audience based on prior shopping and browsing patterns on our Site.

Your Choices and Controls

You have control over how Cookie Technologies are used. You can usually change your browser's settings to reflect your cookie preferences. Each browser is different, but usually these settings are under the “options” or “preferences” menu.

Additionally, you can opt-out of interest-based advertising from many third-party advertising networks through resources provided by the Digital Advertising Alliance at https://www.aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative at https://optout.networkadvertising.org.
