Cookie Policy

"Cookies" are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used by green-drops.com, operated by "GREEN DROPS" EOOD.

1. What Cookies We Use

The Site uses only strictly necessary cookies and local storage, without which the core functions would not work. We do not use advertising, marketing or tracking cookies and we do not build user profiles.

• gd-cart-v1 (browser local storage) — stores the contents of your cart so it is not lost on page reload. It is kept until you or your browser clears it. The data is not sent to us until you submit a request.
• gd-admin (session cookie) — created only upon successful login to the admin panel. Encrypted, HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax, with a lifetime of up to 8 hours. Not created for regular visitors.
• Technical cookies of the hosting provider — used when necessary for load balancing and security, with a session lifetime.

2. Categories and Legal Basis

• Strictly necessary — legal basis: Art. 4a of the Electronic Communications Act and Art. 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC. Consent is not required, as these cookies are essential for the provision of the service you have expressly requested.
• Analytical — loaded only after your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Currently not active.
• Marketing — loaded only after your explicit consent. Currently not active.

3. Consent: Giving, Refusing and Withdrawing

On your first visit, the Site displays a cookie banner. Refusal is just as easy as consent — the "Accept all" and "Reject all" buttons are equivalent. There are no pre-ticked options and no "cookie wall": refusal does not restrict access to the content or to purchases.

Your choice is stored locally in your browser (key gd-cookie-consent-v1) together with the date and the version of the policy, as proof of consent, and is valid for up to 6 months, after which it is requested again. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link at the bottom of every page. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before it.

4. Third-Party Cookies

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel or other third-party analytical or advertising tools, and we do not transfer data to third countries via cookies. Should this change, we will update this policy and such technologies will be loaded only after consent is obtained via the banner.

5. How to Manage Cookies in Your Browser

In addition to the banner, you can block or delete cookies from your browser's settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, etc.). Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies and local storage will make it impossible to use the cart and submit a request.

6. Your Rights

With respect to personal data processed through cookies, you have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with the Commission for Personal Data Protection (2 Prof. Tsvetan Lazarov Blvd., Sofia, kzld.bg). For more information, see the Privacy Policy.
