2. What Are Cookies?
   Cookies are small text files or similar information stored on a visitor’s device when visiting a website. Cookies can allow a website to remember certain information, maintain required website functions, record selected preferences, and support secure checkout and other website-related functions. Similar technologies, including certain local storage mechanisms and comparable identifiers, may also be covered by this Cookie Policy where applicable.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
   Safipetshop may use the following categories of cookies:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are required for functions that visitors request or for the secure operation of website functions. They may be used for purposes such as:

Maintaining a shopping session;

Remembering items placed in a shopping basket;

Processing secure checkout functions;

Remembering cookie consent preferences;

Maintaining essential website functions and payment security;

Supporting the proper operation of relevant website pages.
(Where a cookie is strictly necessary for a requested website function or payment security, consent is not required where the applicable legal exemption applies.)

Preference Cookies: These cookies may remember choices made by visitors, such as selected preferences, so that those choices can be recognised during subsequent visits. Where consent is required, these cookies will only be activated after the visitor has provided the relevant consent.

Analytics Cookies: Analytics cookies may be used to understand general website usage, such as which pages are visited and how visitors interact with website functions. Analytics cookies that require consent will not be activated before the visitor has selected “Accept” on our Cookie banner.

Other Non-Essential Cookies: Other non-essential cookies may be used where applicable for functions that are not strictly necessary for the operation of the website. Such cookies will only be activated after the visitor has provided the required consent.

4. Cookie Consent Banner
   When you visit Safipetshop, a Cookie banner may be displayed to allow you to make a choice regarding non-essential cookies. Non-essential cookies are used only after you click the “Accept” button on our Cookie banner to provide your informed consent. Visitors are free to make their cookie choice. Refusing non-essential cookies does not constitute acceptance of those cookies. Where applicable, visitors may also withdraw or change their cookie choice through the available cookie preference controls.
5. Cookie Retention Periods
   Cookie retention periods depend on the purpose and type of cookie:

Session Cookies: Strictly necessary cookies that remain only for the duration of the browsing session and are removed when the browser session is closed.

Consent Preference Cookies: Retained for a maximum period of 6 months to remember whether a visitor has accepted or declined non-essential cookies.

Preference Cookies: Normally remain for up to 12 months, unless a shorter period is appropriate.

Analytics Cookies: Where analytics cookies are used with consent, they normally remain for up to 13 months.

Third-Party & Stripe Cookies: Retained according to the relevant third party’s applicable cookie settings, security requirements, and retention periods. Cookies will not be retained for longer than necessary for the relevant purpose.

6. Stripe Cookies & Payment Security
   Safipetshop uses Stripe for secure payment processing and fraud prevention.
   Where Stripe cookies or similar technologies are placed or accessed in connection with payment functions, those cookies are handled securely by Stripe in accordance with Stripe’s applicable cookie and privacy documentation.
   Stripe utilizes temporary and longer-lived cookies and similar technologies for purposes including secure payment-related functions, authentication, session management, and transaction-related fraud detection and risk assessment.
   Where a Stripe cookie or similar technology is strictly necessary for payment security and checkout functions requested by the customer, it may be used under the applicable legal exemption. Where a Stripe cookie is non-essential and requires consent under applicable law, it will only be activated after the visitor has provided the required consent through the Safipetshop Cookie banner. For further information concerning Stripe’s cookies, visitors may consult Stripe’s official Cookie Policy.
7. Cookie Consent and Applicable Law
   Safipetshop processes cookies in accordance with applicable Slovak and European data protection and electronic communications requirements. Where consent is required, Safipetshop obtains clear, affirmative consent before activating the relevant non-essential cookies.
8. Withdrawal or Change of Consent
   Visitors may withdraw or change their consent for non-essential cookies at any time through the available cookie preference mechanism on the website. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place lawfully before consent was withdrawn.
9. Browser Controls
   Visitors may also manage certain cookie settings through their web browser. Browser settings allow visitors to block, delete, or restrict cookies. However, disabling certain strictly necessary cookies may affect functions (such as secure checkout) that require those cookies to operate.
10. Cookies and Personal Data
    Some cookies may involve information that can be associated with an identifiable individual. Where cookie-related processing involves personal data, Safipetshop processes that information in strict accordance with our Privacy Policy.
11. Third-Party Services
    Certain website functions may involve services operated by third parties (such as Stripe for payment processing). Third-party cookie retention periods and data practices are determined by the respective service provider.
12. Cookie Records
    Where consent is required, Safipetshop may retain information relating to the visitor’s cookie choice so that the website can recognise that choice during subsequent visits. Consent records are retained for the period necessary to demonstrate and administer the relevant consent.
13. Updates to This Cookie Policy
    Safipetshop may update this Cookie Policy when necessary to reflect changes to the cookies used on the website, changes to relevant services, or changes in applicable legislation. The latest version will always be published on this page.
