Website Traffic Monitoring

The website www.goslowselections.com uses Google Analytics to monitor user activity. We use this data to determine the number of people using our website, to better understand how they find and use our web pages, and to track their journey through the website. Although Google Analytics records data such as the user’s geographic location, device, web browser, and operating system, none of this information makes the user personally identifiable to us. Google Analytics also records the user’s computer IP address, which could be used for identification, but Google does not provide us access to it. We consider Google a third-party data processor that complies with European legislation.

Contact Forms and Email Links

If a user chooses to contact us using a contact form or an email link, none of the data provided will be stored by this website or transferred or processed by any third-party data processor, as defined in the “Our Third-Party Data Processors” section below. Instead, this data will be sent to us via email through the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Our SMTP servers are protected by TLS security protocol (sometimes known as SSL), which means that email content is encrypted before being transmitted over the internet. The email content is decrypted by our local computers and devices.

About Cookies

What is a Cookie?

Cookies are small files containing data that a website requests from the user’s browser to store on their computer or mobile device. By storing cookies on the user’s device, a website can “remember” the user’s actions and preferences. Each cookie serves a different function; some cookies are necessary for a website’s operation, while others, such as ads cookies, are used for advertising purposes.

Our company specifically uses cookies to identify users of our services and to remember their preferences (session cookies). This way, when the user browses our company’s website or visits it later, they do not need to re-enter information. These cookies are used solely for the above purposes to facilitate the user’s experience and for advertising purposes.

Types of Cookies

The primary types of cookies that websites may use are described below:

• Persistent cookies: These remain in the browser’s cookie file on the user’s device even after the browser is closed, sometimes for a year or longer (the exact duration depends on each cookie’s lifetime). Persistent cookies are used when a website administrator may need to recognize a user for more than one visit (e.g., remembering a username or preferences for website customization).

• First-party cookies: These are cookies installed in the user’s browser and/or hard drive by the website they visit. They assign a unique identifier to the user to track their navigation within the website. Website administrators often use first-party cookies for visit management and identification purposes.

• Third-party cookies: These cookies are used by third parties, such as social networks, to track a user’s visits to various websites where they advertise. The website administrator has no control over these third-party cookies.

• Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain in the browser’s cookie file on the user’s device only during the session and are deleted when the browser is closed.
