2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies can be used to:

  • keep a website functioning correctly;
  • remember user preferences;
  • maintain login or shopping-cart sessions;
  • provide checkout and booking functionality;
  • improve security;
  • measure website usage;
  • support third-party services.

Cookies may be temporary session cookies, which are deleted when the browser is closed, or persistent cookies, which remain on the device for a defined period.

Cookies may also be:

  • first-party cookies, set directly by Radio Albena; or
  • third-party cookies, set by external services integrated into the website.

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Radio Albena uses cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the website and shop to function.

These may include cookies required for:

  • shopping-cart functionality;
  • checkout processing;
  • customer login;
  • security and fraud prevention;
  • session management;
  • appointment booking;
  • storing cookie-consent preferences;
  • technical operation of the website.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require prior consent where they are essential to provide a service requested by the user.

Blocking these cookies may cause parts of the website, checkout or booking system to stop functioning correctly.

4. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may be used to remember choices or preferences made by visitors.

These may include, for example:

  • language preferences;
  • interface settings;
  • previously selected options;
  • other convenience features.

Where a functional cookie is not strictly necessary for a service requested by the user, it will only be used where an appropriate legal basis exists and, where required, after consent.

5. Analytics Cookies

Radio Albena may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use the website.

Analytics information may include:

  • pages visited;
  • approximate visit duration;
  • referring pages;
  • browser and device information;
  • general interaction with the website.

Where analytics cookies or similar technologies are not strictly necessary, they will only be activated after the visitor has provided consent.

If no analytics service is active on the website, no analytics cookies are intentionally placed by Radio Albena.

6. Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Radio Albena does not intentionally use advertising or behavioural marketing cookies unless this is clearly disclosed through the cookie-consent system.

If advertising or marketing technologies are introduced in the future, they will only be activated where legally permitted and, where required, after prior consent.

Radio Albena does not sell personal data to advertisers.

7. Shop and Checkout Cookies

The website uses SureCart for online-shop and checkout functionality.

SureCart and connected payment services may use technically necessary cookies or similar technologies to:

  • maintain the shopping cart;
  • process checkout sessions;
  • identify an active transaction;
  • prevent fraud or misuse;
  • provide purchased digital products;
  • maintain customer-account functionality.

Additional information about the processing of personal data in connection with SureCart is provided in the Radio Albena Privacy Policy.

8. Payment Services

Where payment services such as PayPal are used, the payment provider may use its own cookies or similar technologies as part of payment processing, authentication, fraud prevention and security.

These technologies are controlled by the respective provider and are subject to that provider’s own privacy and cookie information.

Radio Albena does not control cookies that are set directly on the payment provider’s own website or payment interface.

9. Appointment Booking

Radio Albena uses FluentBooking for appointment scheduling.

Technically necessary cookies or similar session technologies may be used to provide booking functionality, remember booking selections or protect booking forms against misuse.

Where optional third-party calendar or related services are connected, those providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

10. Remote and External Services

Some pages or functions may interact with external services.

Depending on the services currently enabled, these could include:

  • payment providers;
  • embedded external content;
  • booking services;
  • security services;
  • remote-support services;
  • other technical integrations.

External services may use their own cookies when their content or functionality is activated.

Where consent is legally required, such services should not be activated before consent has been given.

11. Cookie Consent

When required, visitors are shown a cookie-consent banner or similar consent interface.

Non-essential cookies and similar technologies requiring consent are not intended to be activated before valid consent has been obtained.

Consent must be given through an active choice. Simply continuing to browse the website does not constitute valid consent.

Visitors may refuse non-essential cookies without being prevented from using the basic functions of the website, except where a specific optional third-party function itself requires consent.

12. Changing or Withdrawing Consent

Where consent has been given for optional cookies, it can be withdrawn or changed at any time through the cookie settings provided on the website.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

It should be as easy to withdraw consent as it was to provide it.

13. Browser Settings

Visitors can also control or delete cookies through their browser settings.

Most browsers allow users to:

  • view stored cookies;
  • delete individual or all cookies;
  • block third-party cookies;
  • block all cookies;
  • delete cookies when the browser is closed.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the shop, customer login, checkout, booking or other essential website functions from working correctly.

14. Current Cookie List

The exact cookies used on the website may change when website software, plugins, payment providers or other technical services are updated.

Where the website’s cookie-consent system provides an automatically generated cookie list, that list should be regarded as the current technical overview of cookies detected on the website.

The category, purpose, provider and retention period of optional cookies should be displayed through the cookie settings where available.

15. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Radio Albena may update this Cookie Policy when:

  • website functionality changes;
  • new services or plugins are introduced;
  • cookies or tracking technologies change;
  • legal requirements change.

The current version will be published on this page.
