1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or device by our web server when you visit noot8.com. They are sent back to our server on subsequent visits so we can recognise you, remember your preferences, and deliver the services you expect — such as keeping you logged in, storing your shopping cart, and showing you content in your preferred language.

Without cookies, many website functions would stop working. We use them solely to support your experience and to understand how the site is used in aggregate.

2. Platform

noot8.com runs on the Odoo open-source e-commerce and CRM platform. Most first-party cookies described below are set automatically by Odoo to support core website functionality.

4. Cookie Categories Explained

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They authenticate your session, protect your data, and maintain the content of your cart. The website will not work properly without them. No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies under GDPR / the ePrivacy Directive.

Cookies in this category: session_id, frontend_lang

Functional / Preferences

These cookies remember choices you have made — such as your preferred language or your previous live-chat operator — to give you a more personalised experience. The website still works without them but you may find certain conveniences missing.

Marketing / UTM Tracking

These cookies record which campaign, source, or channel brought you to our site. We use this information to measure the effectiveness of our marketing activities. Accepting these cookies is optional.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors engage with our website — which pages are popular, how long sessions last, and where visitors come from. This data is aggregated and pseudonymised; it does not directly identify you. You can learn more at 

Google Analytics & Privacy: support.google.com/analytics/answer/11397207

Cookies in this category: _ga, _gid, _gat, _gac_*

Advertising

These cookies are set by Google to measure ad interaction and to prevent the same ad from being shown too often. They may be used to build a profile of your interests on other websites that display Google Ads. You can opt out at any time via the Network Advertising Initiative:

optout.networkadvertising.org

Cookies in this category: __gads, __gac

5. Third-Party Services

The following third-party services may set cookies or similar tracking technologies when you use our website:

• Google Analytics — web-traffic analytics (analytics.google.com)

• Google Ads — advertising measurement (ads.google.com)

These services have their own privacy and cookie policies which we encourage you to review. We do not control the cookies set by these providers.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

On Our Website

When you first visit noot8.com you will see a cookie banner with two options:

• "Only essentials" — accepts only the strictly necessary cookies required for the site to function.

• "I agree" — accepts all categories of cookies, including optional analytics and advertising cookies.

You can update your preferences at any time by clicking the "Update My Cookie Preferences" link on our Cookie Policy page.

Via Your Browser

Every major browser allows you to view, block, or delete cookies through its settings menu. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent some features of the website from working:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data

• Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data

• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data

• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and data stored

Google Analytics Opt-Out

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at:

tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Do Not Track

We do not currently respond to Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals because there is no industry-wide standard for compliance. We will revisit this position as standards evolve.

7. Legal Basis (GDPR / EU ePrivacy)

noot8.com operates in the European Union and complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive. Our legal bases for using cookies are:

• Legitimate interest — strictly necessary cookies required to operate the service.

• Consent — all optional cookies (analytics, marketing, advertising). Consent is requested via the cookie banner and can be withdrawn at any time.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

8. Data Retention

Cookie lifetimes are listed in the table in Section 3. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies expire on the date specified, after which they are automatically removed by your browser.

You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings; see Section 6 for instructions.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or improvements to our services. The date at the top of the page will always reflect when the policy was last updated. Where changes are significant, we will notify you via the cookie banner on your next visit.
