Cookie Policy
Welcome to the Cookie Policy of julitos.eu. Our online store for gourmet Spanish products, operated from the Netherlands and targeting the Dutch and European markets, is deeply committed to transparency, security, and your data privacy.
This policy is designed to inform you clearly about what cookies are, which ones we use on our website, and how you can manage your preferences at any time using our certified consent management platform, Pandectes GDPR Compliance.
1. What are cookies and tracking technologies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit them. They are commonly used to make e-commerce stores function properly (for instance, remembering which items you added to your shopping cart), to remember your preferred language or country, and to provide you with personalized advertising tailored to your interests across the internet.
2. How do we collect your consent?
In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the strict Dutch cookie regulations (Telecommunicatiewet), julitos.eu will not install any non-essential cookies (such as analytics or marketing cookies) unless you provide us with your explicit, affirmative consent.
To manage this, we use the certified Pandectes GDPR Compliance tool. When you visit our store for the first time, a banner will appear allowing you to accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences category by category.
Changed your mind? You can reopen the Pandectes settings panel at any time by clicking the permanent "Cookie Preferences" link in our website's footer to modify or withdraw your consent.
3. Categories of cookies we use
The cookies on our website are grouped into the following categories depending on their specific purpose:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for you to browse the store, use the shopping cart, and complete secure checkouts. They cannot be deactivated because the store cannot function properly without them.
- Functional Cookies: These allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or shipping region (crucial for our logistics and distribution from the Netherlands).
- Performance & Analytics Cookies: These help us understand statistically how customers interact with our store (most visited pages, navigation paths, etc.) with the sole purpose of improving the user experience.
- Marketing & Advertising Cookies: These are used to track the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to show you relevant ads on third-party platforms (such as Google or Meta networks).
