Third-party cookies may be associated with external services, including Google technologies.
Third parties may process the data they receive in accordance with their own terms and privacy policies.
Floral.am does not control all data processing activities carried out by independent third parties.
8. Cookies in Partner Stores
Online stores created through Floral.am may use cookies necessary for the Platform’s core functions, including shopping carts, checkout, user sessions, and security.
Partners may use additional analytics or marketing technologies if the Platform provides such functionality.
Each partner store is independently responsible for establishing the legal basis for its chosen additional technologies, providing the required information, and obtaining any necessary consent.
The presence of Google Analytics on the main Floral.am website does not, by itself, mean that this technology is active in every partner store.
9. Cookie Retention Periods
Cookies may be:
Session cookies — used during a session and generally expire when that session ends.
Persistent cookies — stored for a defined period depending on their technical purpose and configured expiration.
Retention periods for Google Analytics and other service cookies may vary depending on technical settings and the relevant providers’ terms.
Floral.am aims to use retention periods that are necessary and proportionate to the relevant purposes.
10. Consent and Preference Management
Where applicable law requires consent, non-essential cookies and tracking technologies are not activated before the relevant consent has been obtained.
Users may be offered the following choices:
- accept all permitted cookies;
- reject non-essential cookies;
- select individual categories;
- subsequently change or withdraw consent.
Consent for analytics cookies must be manageable separately where necessary to meet applicable legal requirements.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that was lawfully carried out before withdrawal.
Strictly necessary cookies may continue to operate where permitted by law and required for essential website functions.
11. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Users can manage cookies through their browser settings.
Most browsers allow users to:
- view stored cookies;
- delete individual cookies or all cookies;
- restrict the use of certain cookies;
- block third-party cookies.
Blocking all cookies may interfere with essential functions, including account login, shopping carts, and checkout.
Deleting cookies through browser settings does not always automatically stop all external tracking technologies. Therefore, users should also use the website’s consent management mechanism where appropriate.

Certain information obtained through cookies and similar technologies may constitute personal data or be associated with an identifiable individual.
Such data is processed in accordance with Floral.am’s Privacy Policy and applicable law.
