2. How We Use Cookies
Plantchwristar uses cookies to ensure our website operates correctly, to remember your preferences, and—with your consent—to analyze how visitors interact with our content. We are committed to transparency regarding cookie usage and comply with the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive as implemented in Swedish law, and guidance from Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY).
We distinguish between essential cookies required for basic functionality and optional cookies used for analytics and marketing purposes. Optional cookies are activated only after you provide explicit consent through our cookie banner or cookie settings panel.
3. Cookie Categories
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure access, cookie consent storage, and form functionality. Without these cookies, services you request cannot be provided. Legal basis: legitimate interest and/or contractual necessity.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting aggregated information about page views, session duration, traffic sources, and user journeys. This data helps us improve content structure and user experience. These cookies are placed only with your consent. Legal basis: consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).
3.3 Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to deliver relevant advertisements, measure campaign effectiveness, and track conversions from advertising platforms. These cookies may be set by us or by advertising partners. They are placed only with your explicit consent. Legal basis: consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services we use to enhance functionality or analyze traffic. These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they use collected data. Third-party providers we may use include:
- Google Analytics for website traffic analysis
- Google Ads for advertising measurement when applicable
- Content delivery networks for efficient asset loading
We require third-party providers to comply with applicable data protection laws and to process data only according to our instructions when acting as data processors. When third parties act as independent controllers, their privacy policies apply to their processing activities.
6. Consent Management
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner appears offering three options: Accept All, Reject, and Cookie Settings. Your choice is recorded in the tdde_cookie_consent cookie and respected on subsequent visits.
Through Cookie Settings, you can individually toggle Analytics and Marketing cookies while Strictly Necessary cookies remain always enabled. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting our website, or by adjusting settings through our cookie banner when it reappears after consent withdrawal.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. Rejecting optional cookies will not prevent you from using our website, though some features related to personalized content or analytics may be limited.
7. Managing Cookies
In addition to our cookie consent tools, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive notifications when cookies are being set. Methods vary by browser:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Blocking all cookies may affect website functionality. Strictly necessary cookies required for security and basic operation may still be placed regardless of browser settings in some circumstances.

8. Cookie Duration
Cookies may be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until manually deleted.
