Cookie Policy

COOKIE POLICY Last updated: 02 September 2026 This Cookie Policy explains how HDDHEROES S.R.L. ("HDD Heroes", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on www.hddheroes.com, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. 1. What Are Cookies Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner. 2. How We Use Cookies We use two categories of cookies: a) Essential cookies (always active) These are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They do not require your consent. We use them for: Cookie: hddheroes_session — keeps track of your shopping cart between page visits during checkout. Session cookie, deleted when you close your browser or shortly after. Cookie: admin_token — keeps a site administrator logged in to the admin panel. Only set for logged-in administrators, not for regular visitors. Local storage: hddheroes_cookie_consent — remembers your cookie preference (accepted / essential only), so we don't ask again on every visit. b) Analytics cookies (only with your consent) We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website (e.g. which pages are popular), so we can improve it. These cookies are only loaded if you click "Accept all" on our cookie banner — if you choose "Essential only", no analytics cookies are set and no data is sent to Google Analytics. Provider: Google Analytics (Google Ireland Ltd.). Typical cookies: _ga, _ga_*, with a retention period defined by Google, generally up to 2 years. See Google's own privacy policy for details on how Google processes this data: https://policies.google.com/privacy. 3. Managing Your Preference When you first visit our website, you can choose "Accept all" or "Essential only" in the cookie banner. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site (which will show the banner again on your next visit), or by adjusting your browser's cookie settings directly. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies generally — see your browser's help section for instructions. Blocking essential cookies may affect the site's functionality (e.g. the shopping cart). 4. Changes to This Policy We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add a new tool that uses cookies. The latest version will always be published on this page together with its update date. 5.
