3. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, telephone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies may contain information such as:

• A session identifier
• A consent preference
• A shopping-cart reference
• A language or accessibility setting
• A customer-login status
• An analytics identifier

Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. These are commonly called session cookies.

Other cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. These are commonly called persistent cookies.

4. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, the website may use similar technologies, including:

• Browser local storage
• Session storage
• Tracking pixels
• Tags
• Scripts
• Embedded content
• Device or browser identifiers
• Secure download tokens

References to “cookies” in this policy also include comparable technologies where appropriate.

5. Legal Basis

Under Section 25 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act, consent is generally required before information is stored on or accessed from your device.

Consent is not required where a technology is strictly necessary to provide a digital service that you have expressly requested.

We therefore distinguish between:

Strictly necessary technologies

These technologies are required for essential website functions, security, account login, shopping-cart operation, checkout or another service requested by the visitor.

They may be used without separate consent where legally permitted.

Optional technologies

Optional technologies include analytics and other technologies that are not necessary to provide the website or a requested service.

These technologies are activated only after you have provided consent.

Where optional technologies process personal data, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You may withdraw your consent at any time.

6. Cookie Categories

6.1 Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support functions including:

• Loading and displaying website pages
• Maintaining secure website sessions
• Protecting forms against misuse
• Providing account login
• Maintaining shopping-cart contents
• Processing checkout
• Providing secure digital downloads
• Remembering cookie-consent choices
• Preventing fraud and unauthorised access
• Balancing website traffic or maintaining security

Blocking these technologies may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.

6.2 Functional cookies

Functional cookies may remember choices such as:

• Language
• Region
• Accessibility settings
• Display preferences
• Audio-player settings
• Customer-account preferences

Where a functional cookie is essential to a function expressly requested by you, it may be used without separate consent.

Other functional cookies will be activated only after consent.

6.3 Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website.

They may provide information about:

• Pages visited
• Time spent on the website
• Referral sources
• Browser and device categories
• Approximate geographic area
• Website errors
• Interactions with website content

Analytics cookies are not strictly necessary and are activated only after consent.

6.4 Payment and checkout technologies

Payment providers may use cookies or similar technologies to:

• Process transactions
• Maintain checkout sessions
• Authenticate users
• Prevent fraud
• Manage payment security
• Remember payment preferences
• Provide requested payment services

Payment technologies required to complete a payment selected by the customer may be treated as necessary for that transaction.

Any payment-provider technology used for optional analytics, personalisation or advertising must be handled separately by the relevant provider and, where required, activated only after consent.

6.5 Newsletter technologies

Where an external newsletter provider is used, it may process technologies relating to:

• Subscription forms
• Subscription confirmation
• Fraud or spam prevention
• Newsletter delivery
• Email-opening measurement
• Link-interaction measurement

Optional newsletter tracking will be used only where legally permitted and where the necessary consent has been obtained.

7. Cookies and Technologies Used

The following table describes the principal cookies and technologies intended for use on the website.

7.1 Strictly necessary technologies

The exact names of Joomla, EasyStore and consent-management cookies may vary according to the active website configuration.

The website’s consent panel should display the exact cookie names detected in the current installation.

7.2 Google Analytics cookies

Google Analytics is provided by:

Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House
Barrow Street
Dublin 4
Ireland

Google Analytics cookies must remain blocked until analytics consent is provided.

The ending of the second cookie name contains the website’s individual Google Analytics measurement identifier.

We use Google Analytics to measure website usage and improve website performance and content.

We do not intentionally use Google Analytics cookies for personalised advertising.

Google Signals, advertising personalisation and unnecessary Google advertising integrations should remain disabled unless they are separately disclosed and covered by valid consent.

Google Analytics event-level data is retained for 14 months, as explained in our Privacy Policy.

7.3 PayPal technologies

PayPal payment services are provided by:

PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A.
22–24 Boulevard Royal
L-2449 Luxembourg

PayPal may use cookies and similar technologies when:

• PayPal checkout is displayed
• You select PayPal as a payment method
• You sign in to PayPal
• PayPal processes or verifies a transaction
• PayPal performs fraud-prevention and security checks

PayPal controls the names and storage periods of cookies placed on PayPal-operated pages or through PayPal services.

The website should avoid loading PayPal checkout scripts on ordinary pages where they are not required. PayPal technology should be loaded when a customer opens checkout or selects PayPal as the payment method.

PayPal may use essential, functional, analytics and personalisation technologies according to its own cookie and privacy settings.

You can review PayPal’s current cookie information through its Cookie Statement and privacy controls.

7.4 Newsletter and Mailchimp technologies

Where Mailchimp is used to manage newsletter subscriptions, the provider is:

The Rocket Science Group LLC, trading as Mailchimp

Mailchimp forms or embedded resources may use technologies for:

• Displaying subscription forms
• Preventing automated or fraudulent registrations
• Confirming subscriptions
• Measuring newsletter delivery and engagement

Where possible, newsletter forms should be configured so that no optional Mailchimp tracking is loaded before the visitor has consented.

The exact cookies used may depend on whether the form is:

• Hosted directly by EuroAfrica Media Network
• Loaded through an embedded Mailchimp form
• Opened on a Mailchimp-hosted page

Any optional Mailchimp technologies detected on the website must be listed in the consent panel and blocked until the necessary consent has been provided.

8. Consent Management

When you first visit the website, you will be provided with a cookie-consent panel.

The panel will allow you to:

• Accept all optional technologies
• Reject all optional technologies
• Select individual categories
• Review information about each category
• Save your preferences

Strictly necessary technologies cannot be disabled through the consent panel because the website may not function correctly without them.

No optional analytics technology will be activated before you make an affirmative choice.

Closing or ignoring the consent panel will not be treated as consent.

9. Withdrawing or Changing Consent

You may withdraw or change your consent at any time.

A permanent Cookie Settings link should be available in the website footer.

Withdrawing consent will:

• Prevent the future use of the rejected optional technologies
• Update your stored consent preferences
• Not affect processing that lawfully occurred before withdrawal

Where technically possible, the consent tool may also delete optional first-party cookies previously placed by the website.

Cookies placed by third parties may need to be deleted through your browser or the third party’s privacy controls.

10. Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to:

• View stored cookies
• Delete individual cookies
• Delete all cookies
• Block third-party cookies
• Block all cookies
• Clear local storage
• Automatically delete data when the browser closes

Blocking all cookies may affect:

• Customer login
• Shopping-cart operation
• Checkout
• Download access
• Language preferences
• Consent settings
• Other essential website functions

Browser controls do not replace the website’s obligation to obtain consent before activating optional technologies.

11. Cookie Storage Periods

Cookies are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for their stated purpose.

Unless another period is shown in the cookie table:

• Session cookies expire when the browser session ends
• Consent preferences are stored for up to 6 months
• Functional preferences are stored for up to 6 months
• Google Analytics cookies are stored for up to 13 months
• Shopping-cart data may be stored for up to 30 days
• Third-party payment cookies are controlled by the payment provider

Consent may be requested again where:

• The consent cookie expires
• The website introduces a new optional service
• The purposes of processing change
• The categories of cookies change
• The consent-management configuration materially changes
• A renewed consent is otherwise legally necessary

12. Third-Party Websites

When you leave our website and visit a third-party website, that provider may place cookies under its own policies.

This may occur when you:

• Continue to PayPal
• Open a Mailchimp-hosted subscription page
• Follow a social-media link
• View externally hosted content
• Use another external service

EuroAfrica Media Network does not control cookies placed exclusively on third-party websites.

You should review the cookie and privacy information provided by the relevant third party.

13. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when:

• The website introduces new features
• Cookie names or durations change
• New providers are added
• Existing providers are removed
• Legal requirements change
• Our consent-management system changes

The current version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.

Where a material change affects existing consent, visitors may be asked to make a new choice.
