2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that are downloaded or stored on the user’s device when they visit a website.

They make it possible to remember information about browsing and to perform functions such as keeping a session active, temporarily keeping a booking, remembering privacy preferences, compiling usage statistics or measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Some cookies are deleted when the browser is closed, while others remain stored for a set period.

3. Types of cookies used

Technical or necessary cookies

They are necessary for the basic operation of the website and to provide the services requested by the user. They are used to:

Keep the session active.
Remember the experience, date, time and number of places selected.
Temporarily keep the contents of the booking or purchase.
Manage the payment process.
Remember cookie preferences.
Protect the security and stability of the website and prevent errors or fraudulent use.

These cookies do not require consent because they are strictly necessary to provide the service requested. Blocking them in the browser may prevent the cart, booking or payment from working.

Analytics cookies

They provide statistical information on how the website is used: number of visits, pages viewed, browsing time, device and browser, approximate origin, interactions and possible errors or drop-offs during booking.

Des Candles Studio uses Google Analytics 4 to analyse the use of the website and to improve its operation, content and browsing experience.

These cookies are only installed if the user accepts them.

Advertising cookies

They measure the effectiveness of campaigns and show ads more closely related to the user’s interests.

Des Candles Studio uses Meta Pixel to measure visits and conversions, find out whether a booking comes from a campaign, analyse the performance of ads on Facebook and Instagram, create advertising audiences and improve the relevance of advertising.

These cookies are only installed if the user accepts them.

Embedded content cookies

Some pages display third-party content, such as the Google Maps map showing our location or TikTok videos. When they load, these services may install their own cookies in order to work, remember preferences or measure usage.

This content is only loaded when the user accepts the corresponding cookies. If they do not accept them, they will see a notice instead of the map or video.

5. First-party and third-party cookies

First-party: managed from the Des Candles Studio domain.
Third-party: managed by external analytics, advertising or embedded content providers, and only with your consent.

Google Analytics 4 may process pseudonymous identifiers, IP address and technical connection data, device and browser information, pages visited, interactions and the approximate origin of the visit.

Meta Pixel may process IP address, browser identifiers, device data, pages visited, actions taken on the website and information about campaigns and conversions.

Google Maps and TikTok may process IP address, device and browser data and interactions with the map or videos.

6. Consent

The first time you access the website we show you a panel that lets you:

Accept all cookies.
Reject all non-necessary cookies.
Configure the categories individually.

The accept and reject options are displayed with the same prominence, and rejecting is as easy as accepting.

Analytics, advertising and embedded content cookies are not installed until you give your consent. Technical cookies are used without consent because they are essential to keep the session, keep your selection or process the booking, purchase or payment you have requested.

7. How to change or withdraw consent

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time from the “Cookie settings” link in the footer or from the cookie icon in the lower-left corner, both of which reopen the preferences panel.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand.

If you reject non-necessary cookies, you can keep browsing, booking and buying as normal.

8. Browser settings

You can also allow, block or delete cookies from your browser settings, usually in the privacy, security or website settings sections.

Blocking all cookies may affect essential functions such as keeping the session, keeping a booking, remembering dates or places, keeping the cart, completing payment or remembering your privacy preferences.

9. International transfers

Google, Meta and TikTok may process information from countries outside the European Economic Area. In that case, the safeguards recognised by law apply: European Commission adequacy decisions, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where applicable, standard contractual clauses or other safeguards accepted under the GDPR.

You can find more information in each provider’s privacy policy.

10. Retention of preferences

We keep your cookie choice for a maximum of 24 months. After that period, we will ask you again.

We will also ask you again if we add new providers, the purposes change, the cookie system is substantially modified or the regulations require it.

11. Updates to the Cookie Policy

We may update this policy when the cookies used change, providers are added or removed, the configuration of Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or other services is modified, new features are added to the website, or legal or technical changes occur.

The current version is the one published at any given time, and the date of the last update appears at the top.
