What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.
Proprietary cookies are cookies used by the website you are visiting. Only that website can read them. In addition, a website may possibly use external services for which separate cookies are used, called third party cookies.
Persistent cookies are stored on your computer and are not automatically deleted when you close your browser, unlike session cookies which are deleted when you close your browser.
Each time you visit skinline.bg, you will be prompted to accept or decline cookies.
This is so that websites can remember your preferences (such as username, language, etc.) for a certain period of time. This way, you won’t have to re-enter them when you browse the site during the same session.
Cookies can also be used to compile anonymised statistics about navigation on our site.
How do we use cookies?
Skinline.bg primarily uses its own cookies. These are cookies set and controlled by Skinline and not by external organisations.
However, in order to view some of our pages you will need to accept cookies from external organisations.
The three types of proprietary cookies we use are for:
storing visitor preferences;
ensuring the functioning of our website;
collecting analytical data (about user behaviour).
Visitor preference cookies
These are cookies set by us that only we can read. They are used to remember:
Whether you have accepted (or rejected) the site’s cookie policy;
whether you have already answered the pop-up survey about the usefulness of the site’s content, so we don’t ask you the same question again.
Operational cookies
There are some cookies that we need to enable for certain web pages to function. These do not require your consent. In particular:
Authentication cookies;
technical cookies required by certain computer systems.
These are stored when you log in to your skinline.bg account via our authentication service. When you do so, you accept the relevant privacy policy.
Analytical cookies
We only use these cookies for internal research to enable us to improve the service we offer to all users.
Through the cookies we simply analyse how you interact with our website – as an anonymous user (the data collected does not allow you to be personally identified).
Also, this data is not shared with third parties and is not used for other purposes. The anonymised statistics may be shared with external contractors working on communications projects under contract to Skin Line.
You have the right to refuse this type of cookie via the cookie banner that appears on the first page you visit.
Third party cookies
Some of our pages display content from external providers such as YouTube, Facebook and Google.
To view this content, you must first accept their terms and conditions. Part of these are their cookie policies, over which we have no control.
If you do not view the content in question, third party cookies will not be installed on your device.
External providers of the Skin Line website – You Tube, Google Maps, Facebook, Google.
These third party services are outside the control of the Commission. Providers may at any time change the terms of use of their service, the purpose and use of cookies, etc.
How can you manage cookies?

Managing cookies on a specific site

Blocking cookies
You can set most modern browsers to prevent cookies from being placed on your device, but then you may have to manually set some parameters each time you visit a site or page. Some services and features may also not work at all (e.g. logging in).
We use the “Real Cookie Banner” consent tool to manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents. Details on how the Real Cookie Banner works can be found at https://devowl.io/rcb/data-processing/.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context are Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR and Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.
The provision of personal data is not contractually required, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are under no obligation to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we will not be able to manage your consents.
