- Temporarily keep the contents of a booking or purchase.
- Manage the payment process.
- Remember cookie preferences.
- Protect the security and stability of the website.

These cookies do not require consent when they are strictly necessary to provide the requested service.

- Number of visits.
- Pages viewed.
- Browsing time.
- Device and browser used.
- Approximate origin of the visit.
- Interactions performed.
- Possible errors or drop-offs during the booking process.

4. Cookies and technologies used
Technical session, booking and consent cookies
The website may use its own cookies or technical identifiers to:
| Category | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
| Session and booking | Des Candles Studio | Keep the session active and temporarily remember the experience, date, time, quantity or spots selected. | During the session or as technically required |
| Cart or selection | Des Candles Studio | Temporarily keep products, gift vouchers or experiences added before completing the purchase. | Session or as technically required |
| Security | Des Candles Studio | Protect forms, sessions and booking or payment processes against errors, unauthorised access or fraudulent use. | Session or as technically required |
| Cookie preferences | Des Candles Studio or consent management platform | Remember whether the user has accepted, rejected or configured the different cookie categories. | As set by the consent management platform |
The exact technical names of these cookies may vary depending on the configuration and updates of the system used by the website.
Google Analytics 4 cookies
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Approximate duration |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Pseudonymously distinguish users and generate usage statistics. | Up to 2 years |
| _ga_ followed by an identifier | Google Analytics | Keep and count sessions linked to a specific Google Analytics property. | Up to 2 years |
Google Analytics uses its own cookies to distinguish users and sessions. When analytics storage is disabled through consent settings, Google states that it does not store the client identifier in the _ga cookie.
Meta Pixel cookies
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Approximate duration |
| _fbp | Meta Platforms | Identify browsers to measure visits, conversions and advertising performance. | Up to 90 days |
| _fbc | Meta Platforms | Keep information related to a click on a Meta ad, when such an identifier exists. | Up to 90 days |
The _fbc cookie may not be set when the visit does not come from an ad or there is no valid click identifier. Meta states that _fbp and _fbc are used to identify browsers in advertising and analytics services.
5. First-party and third-party cookies
Depending on who manages them, cookies can be:
- First-party: managed from Des Candles Studio's own domain.
- Third-party: managed by external providers that offer analytics or advertising services.
The following third parties may be involved on this website, only once the corresponding consent has been obtained:
Google Analytics 4
Measurement and analytics service provided by Google.
It may process information such as:
- Pseudonymous identifiers.
- IP address and technical connection data.
- Device and browser information.
- Pages visited.
- Interactions performed.

6. Consent
The first time you visit the website, a banner will appear allowing you to:
- Accept analytics and advertising cookies.
- Reject all non-necessary cookies.
- Configure each cookie category individually.
Analytics and advertising cookies will not be installed before the corresponding consent is obtained.
The accept and reject options must be shown clearly and with equivalent visibility, so that rejecting non-necessary cookies is no harder than accepting them.
Necessary technical cookies may be used without consent when they are essential to keep the session active, keep a selection, or process a booking, purchase or payment requested by the user.
7. How to change or withdraw consent
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the link:
Cookie settings
This link must be permanently available in the website footer and will reopen the preferences panel.
Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before it was withdrawn.
If you reject analytics or advertising cookies, the website will remain accessible and you will still be able to make bookings and purchases, although certain non-essential measurements or advertising actions will not be carried out.
8. Browser settings
You can also allow, block or delete cookies through your browser settings.
The location of these options depends on the browser and device used, and is usually found under privacy, security or site settings.
Blocking all cookies across the board may affect essential functions such as:
- Keeping the session active.
- Keeping a booking.
- Remembering selected dates or spots.
- Keeping the cart contents.
- Completing the payment process.
- Remembering privacy preferences.

It may also be requested again when:
