3) Cookies
Acceptance of the use of cookies is not a mandatory condition in order to visit our web site. However, we wish to inform you that in order to use the "shopping cart" feature and to order products online, that unfortunately this is only possible if you have authorized the use of cookies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that are saved on your device and that store settings and specific data for exchange with our system via your browser. We distinguish two types of cookies: the so-called session-cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser and temporary/permanent cookies, which are stored on your device for an extended period or permanently. The use of cookies allows us to create our website, tailor our offers according to your needs and helps you navigate our website. The use of cookies enables your online browsing to be a more enjoyable experience, for example, by saving some of your data, in order to avoid entering the same information time and time again.
Which cookies does Royal Model use ?
Most of the cookies we use are cancelled when you close your browser (end of session) and are automatically deleted from your hard drive (so-called session cookies). Session-cookies allow you to use the "shopping cart" feature, even if you continue to browse through different pages. In addition, we also use cookies that permanently remain on your hard drive. When you revisit our website, the system automatically recognizes that you have already visited and recalls your data and favourite settings. These temporary or definitive cookies (duration from 1 month to 10 years) are saved on your hard drive and are deleted within defined periods. These cookies are used primarily to make shopping on our website easier, more efficient and safer for our users. Thanks to these files, it is possible to display products on our website which are tailored to your interests. The sole purpose of using cookies is to adjust and display products which are suited to your needs as a customer and make your navigation as enjoyable as possible.
What type of data is stored in cookies?
The cookies used by Royal Model do not save any personal data. Therefore the cookies we use are not traceable to a specific person and therefore not traceable to you. Upon activation of cookies a identification number will be assigned. At no point will your personal details be traced from the identification number and we will never attempt to do so. Your name, your IP address and similar data that could identify you personally, will never be used. Based on the fundamentals of cookie technology we receive information in the form of a pseudonym, and only obtain certain information for example, what pages of our online store are most popular, the most commonly viewed products etc..
What is OnsiteTargeting?
Based on the fundamentals of cookie technology, the Royal Model website collects data to maximise our advertising and our range of online products. This data is not used to personally identify you, but is used under the form of a pseudonym to understand your use of our website. Your data collated in cookies will never be traced back to your personal data which is stored online. This technology allows us to provide you with advertising and/or specific offers and services, whose content is based on information obtained through clickstream analysis ( for example, in the last few days, if a customer has only been browsing for training shoes, the use of this technology allows us to send advertising appropriate to your current needs). Our goal is to make our online website as interesting as possible by displaying products which are suited to your needs as a customer and to supply our customers with advertising that reflects their areas of interest.
How can I prevent cookies installed on my computer?
On your browser settings you can allow cookies to be enabled by request. If you intend to enable cookies from Royal Model, but not ones from our service partners and our affiliates, you can select the setting "disable cookies from third-party companies."

4. Log Files
At each visit to the Royal Model website, user data will be transmitted via the Internet browser and saved in a log file, the so-called server log files. The following data will be saved: date and time of access, name of the website visited, IP address, URL of the referrer (URL of the last page the user visited before Royal Model), the amount of data transmitted, information relating to product and the version of the browser used.
IP addresses’ of users are deleted or made anonymous at the end of the session. IP addresses’ are modified and therefore rendered anonymous in such a way that they can no longer be attributed to a specific physical person, except with excessive effort in terms of time, cost and labour.
We analyze sets of log file data anonymously in order to improve our offers, the Royal Model shop, to make it easier to navigate, to find and eliminate errors quickly and to control server capacity. Performing such analysis also enables us to identify what time of day our website receives the most traffic and consequently make available a sufficient amount of data to ensure a quick purchasing time on our website. In addition, the analysis of log files allows us to identify and eliminate any errors as quickly as possible on the Royal Model website.
5. Analysis of the web
To improve and constantly optimize our service, we use so-called tracking technologies. For this purpose we use Google Analytics service.
5.1 Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ( "Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", text files saved on your computer, which allow us to analyze how you use our online content through Google. The information obtained from cookies on your visits to our website (including your IP address) is normally transmitted and stored on the Google server in the USA. Please note that Google Analytics on our website has been expanded with the "gat.anonymizelp code ();" in order to ensure the anonymous tracking of IP addresses (so called IP-masking). Therefore, at our request, Google stores your IP address in an abbreviated form, which guarantees anonymity and does not allow your identification. On entering our website, your IP address will be abbreviated beforehand, as is common practice within the European Union or other states that have joined the agreement in the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the whole IP address be sent to Google's servers in the USA and later shortened on site.Google also respects the provisions of the Convention on the Protection of Data "US-Safe-Harbor" and is registered in the "Safe Harbor" program of the Ministry of American business. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our website, to draft protocol on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transferred from your browser to Google Analytics will not be used with other Google data. Google will only pass this information to third parties in cases where there are any legal requirements or for the purpose of data processing.

Our site uses Social Plugins ( "Plugins") from different social networks. With the use of these plugins you can for example share content or recommend products. The standard plugins on Royalmodel.com are disabled and therefore do not send data. By clicking on the button "activate social media" you have the ability to activate all plugins (so-called 2 click solution).When plugins are activated, upon opening our website, your browser opens a direct connection with the respective social network server. The social network transmits the content of the plugin directly to your browser, after which it is connected to the web site. Plugins of course can be deactivated with a simple click.Through the use of plugins, social networks receive the information that you have opened the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged into this social network, you can assign the visit to your profile. If you interact with the plugins and carry out actions such as clicking on the "like" button on Facebook or make a comment, the information will be transmitted from your browser directly to the social network that will subsequently post the information.You can find information about the purpose and extent of data collection, the subsequent processing, the use of data on social networks, you rights and settings to protect your privacy, in the sections on data protection on the respective networks or websites. Please find below the links in question.If you do not wish social networks to collect data from our website, before you visit our website you will need to log out of your social network account.Even if you are not registered on social networks, web sites with active social plugins can send data to networks. Through an active plugin on every access to the website, a cookie will be set with an encryption. Since your browser at every connection to a network server, automatically sends a cookie, the network might create a profile that recalls the web pages visited by that user.On our websites we use the following plugins: Facebook, Twitter and Google .If you do not wish social networks to collect your data through these cookies, with a simple click you can disable social plugins on our website, or block the function "third party cookies" on your browser settings. In this case, the browser will not send cookies to the server when the embedded content will find other service providers. Enabling this setting could however compromise, in addition to the feature of the "plugin" button, other generic functions on other websites.
