Two types of “cookies” are used on the website: “session” and “persistent” cookies.

  • Session cookies are temporary files stored on the Service User’s end device until they log out (leave the website).
  • Persistent cookies are stored on the Service User’s end device for the period specified in the cookie parameters or until they are deleted by the Service User.

The Administrator uses its own cookies to better understand how Service Users interact with the website’s content. These files collect information about how the Service User uses the website, the type of website from which the Service User was redirected, as well as the number of visits and the duration of the Service User’s visit to the website.

ADDITIONAL SERVICES RELATED TO USER ACTIVITY IN THE STORE

  1. The Store uses so-called social media plugins (“plugins”) of social networking services. When displaying the website www.lawkiorganic.com containing such a plugin, the Service User’s browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
  2. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly by the respective service provider to the Service User’s browser and integrated into the website. Through this integration, the service providers receive information that the Service User’s browser has displayed the website www.lawkiorganic.com, even if the Service User does not have a profile with the given provider or is not currently logged in.

    Such information (including the Service User’s IP address) is sent by the browser directly to the server of the respective service provider (some servers are located in the USA) and stored there.

  3. If the Service User logs in to one of the above-mentioned social media services, that service provider will be able to directly associate the visit to www.lawkiorganic.com with the Service User’s profile on the respective social networking platform.
  4. If the Service User uses a given plugin, for example by clicking the “Like” or “Share” button, the relevant information will also be sent directly to the server of the respective service provider and stored there.
  5. The purpose and scope of data collection, as well as the further processing and use of such data by the service providers, including contact details, the Service User’s rights in this regard, and the options available to ensure the protection of the Service User’s privacy, are described in the privacy policies of the respective service providers.

    The Service User may also completely prevent plugins from loading on the website by using appropriate browser extensions, for example by blocking scripts with tools such as NoScript.
