About This Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how RoMart ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, RoMart) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features like analytics, advertising, and social media functionality.

4. Managing Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies:

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu.

Cookie Consent Tool

Use our cookie banner when you first visit to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can update preferences anytime.

Opt-Out Links

Use the opt-out tools provided by third-party services like Google Analytics to disable their tracking.

Private Browsing

Use your browser's private/incognito mode to prevent cookies from being saved after your session.

Important Note

Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from using key features of our website, including logging in and making purchases. Some functionality may not work correctly without these cookies.

5. Browser-Specific Instructions

Here's how to manage cookies in popular browsers:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
  • Opera: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies

For more detailed instructions, visit your browser's help documentation orallaboutcookies.org.

6. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other tracking technologies:

  • Local Storage: Similar to cookies but can store larger amounts of data. Used for caching and offline functionality.
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage that is cleared when you close your browser tab.
  • Pixels/Beacons: Small images used to track when content has been viewed (primarily for email open tracking).

These technologies are subject to the same controls and consent requirements as cookies.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing not be tracked. Currently, there is no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals.

Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you can use the cookie management options described above to control tracking.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy.

We encourage you to periodically review this policy to stay informed about how we use cookies.
