Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how RockSolid Stickers uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. Cookies are small text files placed on a device when a visitor accesses a website. They are commonly used to support essential functions, enable preferences, and facilitate aggregated analytics. This Policy outlines the categories of cookies used, the purposes for which they operate, the retention periods associated with each type, and the options available for managing preferences.

The website uses only limited cookie technologies necessary for stable operation and non-identifying analytics. Cookies are not used to create behavioral profiles, conduct cross-site tracking, or support targeted advertising. Visitors may manage or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time using tools provided on the website or through browser settings.

2. Types of Cookies Used

RockSolid Stickers uses the following categories of cookies:

2.1. Necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for enabling core website functions. They support page navigation, security features, load balancing, and access to restricted areas of the site when applicable. Necessary cookies cannot be disabled through the cookie banner because they are required for the website to operate. Without these cookies, pages may not load correctly or key features may not function as intended.

2.2. Functional cookies
Functional cookies support optional features that enhance usability. They may remember user preferences such as language settings or interface configurations, where such preferences are available. These cookies are not required for basic functionality but improve the user experience by preserving certain selections. Functional cookies are used only with the visitor’s consent.

2.3. Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors interact with the website. The data is aggregated and does not identify individuals. Metrics may include page visit counts, time spent on pages, general navigation patterns, and device types used to access the site. This aggregated information helps RockSolid Stickers understand which pages are most frequently viewed and how visitors move through the site, allowing improvements to structure and clarity.

Visitors may decline analytics cookies through the cookie banner. Declining these cookies does not restrict access to website content.

2.4. Advertising cookies
RockSolid Stickers does not use advertising cookies for targeted or personalized advertising. If any advertising-related cookie is loaded automatically due to technical dependencies, it is configured, where possible, to disable targeted advertising features. The website does not use cookies for cross-site tracking or behavioral advertising.

3. Cookie Retention Periods

Cookies remain on a visitor’s device for different lengths of time depending on their function:

3.1. Session cookies
These cookies are temporary and expire when the browser is closed. They support immediate navigation and essential functions only during the active session.

3.2. Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies remain stored on the device until their predefined expiration date or until the user clears them manually. Functional and analytics cookies may be persistent so that preferences or aggregated analytics can be retained across visits.

Retention periods vary by cookie type but are limited to what is necessary for the related function. Analytics data stored by RockSolid Stickers or its service providers is maintained in aggregated, non-identifying form.

4. Cookie Banner and Consent

Upon the first visit, the website displays a cookie banner informing users about the use of cookies and providing options for accepting or managing preferences. Non-essential cookies (functional and analytics cookies) are disabled until the user provides consent. Checkboxes for optional cookies are not preselected.

Visitors may withdraw or modify their consent at any time by reopening the banner or accessing any available preference-management tool. Changes take effect for future activity and do not affect the legality of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

Necessary cookies cannot be disabled using the banner because they are essential to operating the website.

5. Managing Cookies Through Browser Settings

In addition to the cookie banner, visitors may manage or delete cookies through browser settings. Most browsers allow the blocking of all cookies, blocking of third-party cookies, restriction of tracking technologies, or manual deletion of stored cookies. Using these settings may impact certain website functions, particularly features dependent on necessary cookies.

Cookie settings are browser- and device-specific. Visitors who access the site from multiple devices must manage preferences separately on each device.

6. Relationship Between Cookies and Personal Data

Some cookies may process information that could be considered personal data, such as IP addresses or device identifiers. RockSolid Stickers uses such information only to the extent necessary for website operation, security, and aggregated analytics. Identifying information is not used to build profiles or to infer preferences, behaviors, or interests.

Analytics cookies generate aggregated statistical data that does not identify individuals. Any processing of cookie-related data is carried out in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable U.S. state privacy laws. The website does not sell or share personal information and does not use targeted advertising as defined under applicable U.S. state privacy laws.

7. Third-Party Service Providers

Some cookies may be placed by service providers working on behalf of RockSolid Stickers. These providers may support hosting, analytics, or performance monitoring. They are required to process data only under documented instructions and must implement reasonable safeguards to protect information. Third-party providers are prohibited from using cookie data for their independent commercial purposes.

The website does not use third-party cookies for behavioral advertising, audience segmentation, or tracking across unrelated websites.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements, technology used on the website, or operational needs. When updates occur, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document will be revised. Continued use of the website after updates indicates awareness of the revised Policy.
