Cookie Policy
The website khooa.com uses some cookies, which may be installed on your device when you browse it.
On this page, we will try to explain what cookies are, which cookies are used by this website, and what they are used for.
Finally, we will explain what to do if you want to avoid cookies being installed on your device or if you want to remove those that have already been installed.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are saved on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. These files contain information about your browsing activities on the site, such as the pages you have visited, language choices, and display preferences.
Why do cookies concern your privacy?
If cookies are installed on your device, you might wonder why they should concern your privacy. Well... because the information they contain can be read by the website that installed them every time you return to it, and sometimes, even by third-party sites.
In general, cookies do not contain personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number. However, in some cases, cookies can be used to uniquely identify a user or to correlate online browsing activities with the user's personal information.
For example, when you register on our site using Google or Facebook authentication means, these entities can link the information collected through cookies to your account, thus creating a profile of you.
Additionally, cookies can be used in combination with other tracking technologies, such as pixels or tags, to collect more detailed information about your online browsing activity. For example, a website might use cookies to track your browsing activities on that site, but also use pixels to track your browsing activities on different websites.
What are cookies used for?
Cookies can be divided into three broad categories, based on their function:
Technical Cookies
These are used to enable or improve the user's browsing experience. These can be further distinguished into:
Strictly necessary, when they are indispensable for the functioning of the website;
Functional, when they enable simple interactions and functionalities that allow you to access certain resources of the site;
Experience, when they allow improving the quality of the user's experience on the site and enable interactions with platforms, networks, and external content.
Measurement Cookies (a.k.a. Analytics)
These cookies are used to collect aggregate data related to users' navigation on the website. Thanks to the anonymization of the IP address, these tools do not allow the site manager and third parties to identify the user but only to use aggregated data. Consequently, they are assimilated to technical cookies.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to profile users' interests based on their behavior during browsing and send advertising messages in line with their preferences.
For example, if you visit a website that sells clothes, you might see advertisements for similar products on other websites you visit subsequently. This is made possible by marketing cookies.
Third-party Cookies
In addition to their purposes, cookies can also be distinguished between first-party and third-party cookies.
First-party cookies are installed directly by the website you are visiting.
Third-party cookies, on the other hand, come from different websites and are sometimes used to track your browsing activity on multiple websites, in order to collect information about your interests and browsing habits.
Cookies used by Khooa.com
Now that we have explained what cookies are and what types exist, we will illustrate which Khooa services use cookies and for what purposes.
We will also explain how you can prevent their installation and review your preferences at a later time.
Let's start by saying that our site uses cookies belonging to all the categories listed above (technical, measurement, and marketing), both first and third party.
Google Analytics 4
Khooa.com uses the Google Analytics 4 service to monitor website statistics and obtain information such as the number of visitors, their origin, the duration of stay on the site, the most visited pages, etc. These data are stored for two years in aggregate form, without us being able to trace back to the identity of individual users.
The information collected by Google Analytics 4 cookies is transmitted to Google and stored on its servers in the United States or other countries. Google uses this information to evaluate the use of the website by users, compile reports on website activity for site operators, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transmit this information to third parties in case of legal obligation. You can consult Google's privacy policy at the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. To understand how Google Analytics uses cookies, you can refer to this link: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage
To prevent the possibility of tracing back to users' identities, we have set up the anonymization of IP addresses. This allows us to consider Google Analytics cookies as technical cookies and to install them without your prior consent. However, you can still avoid the installation of these cookies through your browser settings or by following the instructions contained in this link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Disclaimer
Accurately identifying third-party cookies installed on our website, knowing exactly how they are used, and how long they remain installed on devices is technically very challenging.
We at Khooa do our best to ensure maximum transparency and, for this reason, want you to be aware that the tables above may not be 100% accurate and that some third-party cookies may have been recently added, modified, or deleted.
How to Use the Cookie Banner
When you land for the first time on any page of the khooa.com website, a banner will appear containing brief information about cookies and some options to choose from:
You can accept all cookies, allowing us to install all types of cookies.
You can refuse all cookies, and in this case, we will only install strictly necessary technical cookies. You can customize your choices, accessing a control panel that allows you to accept the installation of some categories of cookies and refuse others.
Until you make your choice, khooa.com will only install technical cookies. If you decide to close the banner without making any choice, only technical cookies will remain installed.
Once you have made your choices, they are saved for 6 months, so you don't have to see the banner every time you return to our site. However, the cookie customization panel will always be available, so you can change your choices at any time. You can access the panel by clicking on the green lock symbol.
However, consider that your cookie choices can be saved in turn through the use of technical cookies. Therefore, if you log in with a different browser or after deleting installed cookies, the banner will appear again.
