The purpose of this policy is to provide you with information that is as clear and complete as possible about the cookies we use and their purposes. We also invite you to read our Data Protection Policy to understand the rules that apply on our website www.lovelysecret.be regarding data protection, especially when you provide us with data via online forms, and to learn about your rights. This policy covers the collection and use of data via cookies when you browse our website, whether from a computer, tablet, or smartphone.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that can be placed on your device when you visit a website. A cookie file allows its issuer to identify the device on which it is stored for the duration of the cookie’s validity or storage period. Some cookies are essential for using the site, while others help optimize and personalize the displayed content.

Who places the cookies?

The cookies placed on our site may be deposited by TTCK SPRL or by third parties. The cookies placed by TTCK SPRL are essentially those related to the operation of our website.
The others are third-party cookies placed by our partners. The issuance and use of cookies by third parties are subject to the “cookie” policies of these third parties. Only the issuer of a cookie can read the information contained within it. We inform you of the purpose of the third-party cookies we are aware of and the means available to you to make choices regarding these cookies.

How and why do we use cookies?

We use four categories of cookies, whose purposes are described below. We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information (such as your name), except upon your specific request (as a TTCK SPRL customer, your first and last names can be memorized at your request so you are recognized the next time you log in).
1. Cookies strictly necessary for the operation of www.lovelysecret.be
These are cookies that are essential for navigating our site (such as session identifiers), allowing you to use the main features of the site and secure your connection. For example, they allow you to directly access reserved and personal areas of our site, using identifiers or data you may have previously provided. Without these cookies, you will not be able to use the site normally; we advise against deleting them.

2. Functionality cookies
These cookies are not essential for browsing our site, but they help optimize its operation and give you access to specific features, such as ordering a requested product. Placing cookies on your device is the fastest and easiest way to personalize and improve your user experience. These cookies are placed by TTCK SPRL. Most of them have a very short lifespan (the duration of the session) and a maximum lifespan of one year.

3. Audience measurement cookies
Certain cookies allow us to track the usage and performance of our site, establish statistics, traffic volumes, and the usage of various elements of our site (content visited, user journey, landing pages, exit pages). This helps us improve the relevance and ergonomics of our services (most visited pages or sections, most read articles, most viewed products, etc.).
Cookies are also used to count visitors to a page. These cookies come from Google LLC, which provides the Google Analytics service for us. To provide this service, Google uses the cookie identifier and connection IP addresses to generate site audience reports for us. This does not allow us to identify you individually, but only to obtain statistics.

4. Remarketing cookies
These are cookies used for retargeting via email. They only retarget for the site www.lovelysecret.be and only function after manual user registration (consent). The data inherent to this remarketing program is not stored or retained. This data is destroyed as soon as the follow-up email is sent.

The information associated with session and functionality cookies is used to fulfill a service request you have made (site navigation, creating, accessing, and securing a user account). We ask for your consent to use remarketing and audience measurement cookies. This consent can be withdrawn at any time by blocking or deleting the cookies.
