Cookie Policy

Preamble

The purpose of this Cookie Policy is to inform users of the Chamini website (hereinafter "Users") about the use of cookies and similar technologies when browsing the site.

It specifies the types of cookies used, their purposes, and how users can manage their preferences and exercise their consent.

This Policy applies to all Users worldwide and supplements Chamini's Privacy Policy. Data processing related to cookies is carried out in accordance with applicable French and European legislation, including the GDPR and the recommendations of the CNIL (French Data Protection Authority).


1. Definition of cookies

A cookie is a small text file placed on the user's device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when visiting a website.

It allows, in particular, the recognition of the user's terminal, the memorization of certain information, the improvement of the browsing experience and the personalization of the content offered.

Some cookies are essential for the operation of the site, while others require the user's prior consent before being placed.

Cookies may be placed by Chamini or by third-party partners. Users can manage their cookie preferences or refuse their use at any time, in accordance with applicable legal provisions.


2. Types of cookies and their purposes

The Chamini website uses different types of cookies, depending on their purpose and their necessity for the proper functioning of the site.

2.1. Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and for the provision of the Services. They enable, in particular:

  • Navigating the site and accessing essential features 
  • Shopping cart and order process management 
  • Securing payments

These cookies are essential for the operation of the site and do not require user consent.

2.2. Audience measurement cookies

These cookies allow us to collect anonymous information on site traffic and usage (pages viewed, visit duration, traffic sources) in order to analyze and improve performance and user experience.

  • Tools integrated with Shopify: allow you to track the number of visitors, page views and general behavior on the site.
  • Google Analytics 4 (GA4): a free tool from Google offering more detailed tracking of traffic and user behavior. Integration is done via the GA4 measurement ID.

The placement of these cookies is subject to the user's prior consent, in accordance with the GDPR and the recommendations of the CNIL (French Data Protection Authority). Users can accept or refuse these cookies at any time via the cookie banner or their browser settings.

2.3 Functional or optional cookies

These cookies help improve the site's functionality and remember certain browsing preferences, such as:

  • The user's language or region 
  • Custom display settings (e.g., light/dark display, menu preferences)

They may also relate to third-party services integrated into the site, but in the case of Chamini, social networks such as Instagram or TikTok are only present via direct links in the footer, without displaying any content on the site. Therefore, no cookies from these platforms are directly placed by the site, but users may be redirected to these sites and should consult their privacy policies.

2.4 Consent Management and User Rights

The user can manage their cookie preferences at any time and withdraw their consent for non-essential cookies, directly via the cookie banner or browser settings.

For cookies placed by third parties, the user is invited to consult their privacy policies in order to know how their data is collected, used and stored.


3. Cookie Consent and Management

On their first visit to the Chamini website, users are informed about the use of cookies via a dedicated banner.

The user can then:

  • accept all cookies
  • refuse non-essential cookies
  • or configure your preferences according to your choices

The consent given is kept for a maximum period of 13 months, in accordance with current regulations.

Consent is given by a clear affirmative action by the user (clicking on "Accept" or voluntary setting of cookies), in accordance with the requirements of the CNIL.

The user can change their preferences at any time:

  • via the cookie management banner available on the website
  • or by configuring your browser to refuse or delete certain cookies


Refusing non-essential cookies may degrade the browsing experience or limit access to certain site features.

Some cookies may be placed by third parties (for example, Google Analytics). Users are encouraged to consult their privacy policies to learn how their data is collected, used, and stored.


4. Cookie retention period and deletion

The cookies placed on the Chamini website are stored for a limited period depending on their purpose:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: stored only during the browsing session or until the browser is closed
  • Audience measurement and functional cookies: stored for a maximum of 13 months, in accordance with CNIL recommendations

The user can delete cookies already stored on their device at any time:

  • via your browser settings, following the instructions specific to each browser
  • or via the cookie management tools offered on the website

Deleting or refusing certain cookies may limit some site functionalities or alter the browsing experience, but does not prevent the use of essential services.
