Cookie Policy

1. INTRODUCTION & STATUTORY FRAMEWORK

This Cookie Policy explains how WEARBY ("the Platform") uses cookies, tracking pixels, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to recognize, secure, and optimize your experience when you access or interact with our marketplace. This policy is issued, managed, and enforced by WEARBY DIGITAL SERVICES S.L., a corporate entity legally incorporated and existing under the substantive laws of Spain. The deployment of tracking architectures is aligned with the European Union's ePrivacy Directive, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Spanish LSSI-CE regulations (specifically Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002), and state-level data protection framework requirements within the United States.

2. DEFINITION & CORE FUNCTION OF TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

Cookies are small data text files that are stored directly within your web browser or device storage when you visit a digital platform. They allow the server to recognize unique user sessions, retain targeted operational data, prevent technical errors, and ensure a seamless functional flow between distinct application screens, active sessions, or database queries.

3. OPERATIONAL CATEGORIES OF COOKIES DEPLOYED

WEARBY structurally segregates the tracking technologies deployed on the Platform into distinct operational classes. Users maintain dynamic authority to consent to or deny optional categories via our integrated management console:

  • Strictly Necessary & Functional Cookies (Mandatory): These are technical cookies absolutely required for the basic mechanical architecture, interface navigation, and platform safety. They preserve active user login authentication tokens, maintain security structures against cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and power the automated fifteen (15) minute active checkout countdown reservation timer. The marketplace cannot function without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled within our preference center.
  • Performance & Optimization Cookies (Optional): These technical cookies measure infrastructure loading speeds, delivery network optimization parameters, and client-side execution efficiency, ensuring the application operates reliably and fast across globally distributed nodes.
  • Analytical Tracking Cookies (Optional): These cookies help us compile aggregated, anonymized traffic data. They track user interaction paths, source channels, and overall feature engagements, allowing us to structurally audit and improve the digital marketplace experience.

4. REPRESENTATIVE LIST OF COOKIES

The list below is a representative summary of the cookies deployed on the Platform. It is updated periodically as our technical infrastructure evolves; the full live list is always available through our in-platform preference center.

5. THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATIONS & DISTRIBUTED CONTROLS

Certain tracking components are embedded via verified third-party API modules operating on our system. These external services set cookies directly subject to their own respective corporate data privacy governance architectures:

  • Stripe Connect Payment Infrastructure: Essential financial fraud mitigation cookies, identity validation tracking, and cryptographic token identifiers are set directly by Stripe to evaluate transaction security risk levels, fulfill regulatory cross-checks (including fiscal tracking requirements), and securely process user checkouts and escrow assignments.
  • Logistics Tracking Integrations: API tokens deployed by partner carrier distribution networks to dynamically update cross-border shipping estimations, manage anonymous delivery processing, and sync transport tracking links.

6. GRANULAR USER CONSENT MANAGEMENT

Upon your very first landing on the WEARBY platform, an official, compliant Cookie Consent Banner will be presented, offering "Accept All" and "Reject All" options with equal visual prominence, alongside a "Customize" option to grant or deny Performance and Analytics cookies individually. Essential technical cookies deploy instantly to safeguard the platform session and enforce transaction security metrics, as they do not require consent under Article 22.2 LSSI-CE.

Your consent choices are stored for up to twelve (12) months, after which the banner will be shown again, or sooner if the categories or providers of cookies we use materially change. You may withdraw or update your consent at any time through the preference center linked in the site footer.

7. NATIVE BROWSER & MANUAL DELETION PROCEDURES

In addition to our integrated preference portal, you possess the permanent legal and technical right to configure, block, or completely wipe cookies directly through your native internet browser settings console (such as Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge). Please be explicitly advised that blocking necessary technical cookies will disrupt session persistence, prevent secure account access, and invalidate active checkout timers.

8. POLICY ADJUSTMENTS & LEGAL ENFORCEMENT

WEARBY DIGITAL SERVICES S.L. completely retains the discretionary right to update this Cookie Policy at any time to preserve structural compliance with evolving regulatory mandates, privacy agency rulings, or infrastructure variations. Any changes will become immediately enforceable upon the public posting of the updated document version.
