1. INTRODUCTION

This Cookie Policy explains how BYRED uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our Website www.byred.cy (the “Website”). A cookie is a small text file stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) that contains data about your browsing activity. Cookies are used to enhance user experience, maintain session functionality, and improve website performance.

Under Cypriot Law 112/2004 (Section 99), storing cookies requires your express, prior consent. Cookies cannot be stored based on implicit consent or notification alone. This policy is separate from our Privacy Policy and should be read in conjunction with it.

2. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

We use cookies in two categories: essential cookies and non-essential cookies.

2.1 Essential Cookies (No Consent Required)

Essential cookies are necessary for the Website to function properly and are installed automatically without requiring your consent. These include session cookies that maintain your login session and shopping cart functionality. We use CSRF tokens to prevent cross-site request forgery as a security protection. We also use cookies to remember items in your shopping cart during checkout. We store your language preference so the Website displays in your selected language. During checkout, we cache your delivery address for convenience and to streamline the ordering process.

These cookies are essential for basic Website functionality. Disabling them will impair your ability to browse and purchase products.

2.2 Non-Essential Cookies (Consent Required)

We currently use analytics and performance cookies that require your express consent. These cookies are deployed through Source Behaviour JavaScript (SBJS), a source capture and analytics tool that tracks how visitors arrive at our Website and interact with it.

We use the sbjs_session cookie to track your user activity and sessions to improve the performance and usability of the Website and understand how visitors interact with it. The sbjs_migrations cookie tracks your interactions and movement between different pages or sections of the Website to improve user experience and website performance analytics.

We use the sbjs_first cookie to store information about your first session on the Website, including the source from which you came, the path you took, which search engine and keyword were used, and your location at the time of your first visit. This information is used to analyse and improve the Website’s performance by understanding user behaviour.

The sbjs_first_add cookie stores details about your first visit, including timestamp, referring site, and source of traffic, to assess the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and website traffic sources.

We use the sbjs_current cookie to track your activities and interactions across the Website to facilitate better analysis and understanding of traffic sources and user behaviour.

The sbjs_udata cookie stores user-specific data to help monitor and analyse the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and optimise your user experience on the Website.

The sbjs_current_add cookie stores information about your current visit to distinguish between users and sessions, typically including details such as source of traffic, campaign data, and user behaviour to help us track and analyse the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

2.3 Functionality Cookies

We use the wishlist_cleared_time cookie to record the last time you cleared items from your wishlist, which improves your user experience by managing wishlist functionality. The woodmart_wishlist_count cookie keeps track of the number of items in your wishlist on the Website. These functionality cookies help provide a more personalised experience.

2.4 Other Technologies

We use the nfd-enable-cf-opt cookie for Cloudflare content delivery optimisation, which ensures the Website loads quickly. We also use localStorage to store wpEmojiSettingsSupports, which is WordPress emoji support settings. These technologies enhance Website performance and functionality.

3. HOW COOKIES ARE USED ON BYRED.CY

Our cookies serve specific purposes. We use essential session and CSRF cookies to keep you logged in during your visit and protect against unauthorised requests. We use shopping cart cookies to remember products you select before purchase. We use form data retention cookies to pre-fill your information during checkout for convenience. We use language and preference cookies to store your selected language and display preferences.

Our analytics and performance cookies track how you found us and how you interact with our Website. These cookies help us understand our traffic sources and user behaviour patterns. Our wishlist cookies help manage your wishlist functionality. We do not currently use Google Analytics or other third-party analytics tools beyond SBJS. We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies beyond what SBJS provides. If we implement additional non-essential cookies in the future, we will obtain your express consent before deployment and update this policy accordingly.

4. YOUR COOKIE PREFERENCES & CONSENT

4.1 Consent Management

When you first visit our Website, you will see a cookie banner requesting your consent. Essential cookies are automatically installed without requiring explicit consent. Non-essential cookies (SBJS analytics and marketing cookies) require your express opt-in consent before being stored. You have the choice to accept all cookies, accept only essential cookies, or customise your preferences.

4.2 Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways. You can use our Website’s cookie settings link (typically located in the footer) to adjust your preferences for non-essential cookies at any time. Your preference choice will be remembered on future visits. You can also control cookies through your browser settings. In Google Chrome, go to Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Other Site Data. In Mozilla Firefox, go to Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. In Safari, go to Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and Website Data. In Microsoft Edge, go to Settings → Privacy, Search, and Services → Cookies and Other Site Data. Be aware that disabling essential cookies may prevent proper Website functionality, including your shopping cart, checkout process, and login.

You can also use third-party browser extensions to manage cookies, such as Cookie AutoDelete (which removes cookies automatically), uBlock Origin (which blocks tracking scripts), or Privacy Badger (which blocks trackers).

4.3 Withdrawing Consent

You can withdraw your cookie consent at any time by accessing the cookie settings link on our Website and changing your preferences. Your new preference will apply to future visits. Be aware that withdrawing consent does not affect cookies that were already stored before you withdrew consent.

5. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES & INTEGRATIONS

We do not currently deploy third-party cookies directly on our Website. However, external services that we integrate with may place their own cookies on your device.

Our payment processor, JCC, may place payment-related cookies on your device when you process a payment. These cookies are not installed by BYRED. You are subject to JCC’s cookie policy, and we are not responsible for their cookie practices. You should review JCC’s privacy policy for details on their cookie usage.

Our shipping partner, Kronos Express, may place tracking cookies when you track your delivery status. These cookies are not installed by BYRED. You are subject to Kronos Express’s cookie policy, and we are not responsible for their cookie practices. You should review Kronos Express’s privacy policy for details on their cookie usage.

6. DO NOT TRACK (DNT) SIGNALS

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature. Our Website does not currently respond to DNT signals, as we do not implement tracking technologies beyond the SBJS cookies described above that would necessitate such a response. If you enable DNT in your browser, we will continue to use essential cookies for Website functionality, as these are not tracking cookies in the traditional sense.

7. COOKIE RETENTION & DELETION

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. You can close your browser or clear your browser history to delete session cookies. Persistent cookies like wishlist cookies are retained for up to one week. You can clear browser cookies or use the “Cookie Settings” link on our Website to delete persistent cookies. The analytics cookies used by SBJS have varying retention periods. You can clear these by using your browser’s cookie clearing function or by withdrawing consent via the “Cookie Settings” on our Website.

8. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect new cookies we implement, changes in cookie usage, legal or regulatory changes, or user feedback. We will notify you of updates by posting the updated policy on our Website and updating the “Last Updated” date. For material changes that affect non-essential cookies, we will request renewed consent. Your continued use of the Website after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
