1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or smartphone by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners about how the site is being used.

At PLSTOP.COM, cookies help us recognize you, remember your preferences, provide a secure and personalized browsing experience, and understand how you interact with our site.

2. How We Use Cookies

We classify the cookies we use into the following categories:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for our website's functions and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, filling a form, or setting your privacy preferences. You can set your browser to block them, but parts of the site will not work. These cookies do not require your prior consent.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: These allow us to collect information on how visitors use our site, such as counting visits and identifying traffic sources. This data helps us measure and improve site performance by understanding which pages are most and least popular. All information collected is aggregated and therefore completely anonymous. We only use these after obtaining your express consent.
• Functional Cookies: These are used to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your username or language preference. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added, like a live chat service. If you do not consent to these cookies, some of these features may not function correctly. We only use these after obtaining your consent.
• Targeting & Advertising Cookies: These may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They are used to build a profile of your interests and show you personalized and relevant ads on other sites. They do not store personal information directly but work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. We only use these after obtaining your consent.

3. Examples of Cookies We Use

To give you a clearer idea, here are some examples of cookies you might find on our site:

• For performance and analytics, we use services like Google Analytics, which may place cookies like _ga and _gid to anonymously distinguish users and measure site interaction.
• For necessary functions, we might use a session cookie like session_id to keep you logged in, which expires when you close your browser. We also use a cookie like cookie_consent_status to remember your consent choices for one year.
• To enable additional functions, our live chat service might place a cookie like live_chat_token to remember your conversations during a session.
• For advertising purposes, our partners like Facebook may use cookies like _fbp to track and measure the effectiveness of our ad campaigns.

4. How You Can Control Cookies

When you first visit our site (especially if you are browsing from the EU/EEA), a Cookie Banner will appear. This gives you the option to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences in detail.

You can change these settings at any time by clicking the "Manage Cookie Preferences" link found in our website's footer.

Additionally, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can learn more about managing these settings by referring to the help documentation for your browser, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Safari.
