Cookie Policy Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit or interact with MidoriShop. Cookies can help the website remember information, maintain shopping functionality, improve website performance, and support security.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to operate correctly, while other categories may be used only when permitted by applicable law and, where required, after the appropriate user choice or consent has been provided.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files or similar data stored on a browser or device when a website is visited. They allow websites to recognize a browser or device and remember certain information between visits.

Cookies may be session-based, meaning they expire when the browser session ends, or persistent, meaning they remain available for a specified period unless they are deleted earlier.

Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, or other technologies that perform functions comparable to cookies.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies support functions that customers reasonably expect when using an online store. These may include maintaining a shopping cart, supporting checkout sessions, remembering essential security information, preventing unauthorized activity, and enabling basic website functionality.

Because these technologies can be necessary for requested website functions, disabling them may affect the ability to browse products, maintain a cart, complete checkout, or use other essential features.

Performance & Analytics Cookies

Where enabled, performance or analytics technologies may help MidoriShop understand how visitors use the website, which pages receive traffic, whether pages load correctly, and where technical improvements may be useful.

Analytics technologies are not treated as automatically essential. Where applicable law requires consent for analytics cookies or similar technologies, they will be used only in accordance with the applicable consent requirements.

Functionality Cookies

Functionality cookies may allow MidoriShop to remember selected preferences, browsing settings, or other choices that improve the customer experience.

These technologies can reduce the need to repeatedly enter or select the same information during future visits. If functionality cookies are disabled, certain personalized features may not operate as expected.

Marketing & Advertising Cookies

If marketing or advertising technologies are enabled, they may be used to measure promotional campaigns, understand interactions with marketing content, or support relevant advertising and remarketing activities.

MidoriShop does not treat marketing technologies as necessary for basic shopping functionality. Where consent is legally required, applicable marketing cookies or similar technologies will be activated only after the required consent or user choice.

Shopping Cart & Checkout Technologies

As an online store, MidoriShop may use cookies or similar technologies to support shopping functions such as product selection, cart contents, checkout sessions, customer preferences, and order-related functionality.

These technologies help maintain continuity while a customer moves between product pages, the cart, and checkout. Disabling essential shopping technologies may prevent some parts of the purchasing process from functioning correctly.

Payment Services & PayPal

MidoriShop may use PayPal or other authorized payment services to process payments and support secure checkout. Payment providers may use cookies, device information, security technologies, or similar technologies for functions such as authentication, transaction processing, fraud prevention, risk management, and security.

The privacy and cookie practices of a payment provider are governed by that provider's own policies and applicable terms. Customers should review the relevant provider documentation when using a third-party payment service.

PayPal states that cookies and similar technologies may be used for functions including personalization, analytics, risk mitigation, fraud prevention, and trust and safety.

Third-Party Services & Suppliers

Some website functions may rely on third-party service providers, such as payment processors, security services, analytics providers, hosting infrastructure, performance tools, or other services needed to operate the website.

Third-party technologies may set or access cookies according to their own services and privacy practices. MidoriShop does not control the independent privacy practices of third-party providers and recommends reviewing their applicable privacy notices where relevant.

Selected products are supplied through third-party suppliers. Supplier involvement in product fulfillment does not automatically mean that suppliers receive access to MidoriShop cookie information. Information is shared only where reasonably necessary for order fulfillment, service operation, security, or another permitted purpose.

How to Control Cookies

Depending on your location and the cookie tools available on the website, you may be able to choose whether certain non-essential cookies are accepted.

Blocking essential cookies may affect shopping cart, checkout, authentication, security, or other core website functions.

Cookie Duration

Cookie duration depends on the technology and its purpose. Session cookies may expire when the browser is closed, while persistent cookies may remain for a defined period or until they are manually removed.

The actual duration of a cookie may also depend on the third-party service that places it. MidoriShop aims to use information only for legitimate operational, security, analytical, or customer-experience purposes and in accordance with applicable requirements.

Cookies & Personal Information

Some cookies and tracking technologies may collect information that can be associated with a browser, device, or user. Depending on applicable law and the specific technology, this information may be considered personal information.

MidoriShop's use of personal information is also described in the Privacy Policy. Cookie preferences and applicable privacy rights may vary depending on your location and local legal requirements.

Security & Fraud Prevention

Cookies and similar technologies may be used as part of website security, fraud prevention, session management, and protection against unauthorized activity.

Payment providers may also use device and transaction-related information to support security and risk controls. These technologies help maintain a safer shopping environment but do not guarantee that every security threat can be eliminated.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

MidoriShop may update this Cookie Policy when website functionality, third-party services, cookie technologies, payment services, or applicable legal requirements change.

The updated version will be made available through the website. Continued use of the website after an update may be subject to the revised policy, while any consent requirements will continue to be handled as required by applicable law.
