Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how butokoa ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or interact with our website at butokoa.com. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you should adjust your browser settings accordingly or refrain from using our website.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device) when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics, interactive content, and advertising.

Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time. Some cookies are "session cookies," meaning they exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are "persistent cookies," meaning they survive after your browser is closed and can be used by the website to recognise your device when you open your browser again.

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies to store and retrieve information on your device. These include:

• Web beacons: Small graphic images (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs) that may be included in our web pages and emails. They allow us to count users who have visited certain pages and to verify system and server integrity.
• Local storage: A feature of your web browser that allows websites to store data locally within your browser. Unlike cookies, data stored in local storage is not sent to the server with every request.
• Session storage: Similar to local storage, but the data is cleared when the page session ends - that is, when the browser tab is closed.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, and other device attributes to create a profile that can be used to identify your device.

For the purposes of this policy, references to "cookies" include all such similar tracking technologies unless stated otherwise.

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under applicable law, as they are indispensable for the provision of our services. However, you can disable them through your browser settings, though this may affect how the website functions.

Examples of what these cookies do:

• Keep you logged in during your session
• Remember items you have added to a shopping cart or form progress
• Ensure secure areas of the website remain accessible only to authorised users
• Load balance traffic across servers to maintain performance

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

Examples of what these cookies do:

• Remember your language or region preferences
• Remember your display preferences, such as text size
• Remember if you have already been asked to fill in a survey
• Provide live chat or support functionality

These cookies collect information about how you use our website, such as which pages you visit most often and whether you receive error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works.

Examples of what these cookies do:

• Count the number of visitors to pages
• Track how visitors move around the website
• Record which pages generate error messages
• Test different designs or content to see which performs better
• Measure the effectiveness of our communications

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

Examples of what these cookies do:

• Deliver advertisements relevant to your interests
• Limit the number of times you see an advertisement
• Help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
• Understand whether you came to our website from an advertisement

These cookies are set by social media services that we have added to the website to enable you to share our content with your networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other websites and building a profile of your interests. This may affect the content and messages you see on other websites you visit.

If you do not allow these cookies, you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.

The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a session or persistent cookie:

• Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. They are used to carry information from one page to another during a single browsing session.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device after your browser is closed. They are used to retain your preferences or actions across multiple visits to our website. Persistent cookies have an expiration date set by us or the third party that placed them.

The specific duration of each cookie we use varies. Strictly necessary and functional cookies typically expire within a short period, while analytics and advertising cookies may persist for longer periods, up to two years in some cases. You can remove persistent cookies at any time through your browser settings.

Some cookies on our website are set by third parties - organisations other than butokoa. These third parties may include analytics providers, advertising networks, social media platforms, and providers of embedded content.

We do not control the placement or use of third-party cookies. The information collected by third parties through their cookies is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies, not ours. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third parties whose cookies may be present on our website.

We work only with reputable third-party service providers and take reasonable steps to ensure that such providers handle any data they collect responsibly and in accordance with applicable law.

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You may change your preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings through the link available on our website.

Please note that withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your withdrawal, and it does not affect processing carried out on the basis of lawful grounds other than consent.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Options," "Preferences," or "Settings" menu of your browser. You can set your browser to:

• Notify you when cookies are being set
• Refuse all cookies or certain types of cookies
• Delete cookies when you close your browser
• Delete all cookies currently stored on your device

Please be aware that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of our website and your user experience. Some features of our website may not work correctly if you disable certain categories of cookies.

For cookies used for analytics and advertising purposes, you may also use opt-out tools provided by industry bodies and individual service providers. These tools allow you to opt out of interest-based advertising and analytics tracking across participating websites and services.

Please note that these opt-out mechanisms typically work by placing an opt-out cookie on your device. If you clear your cookies, you may need to opt out again.

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website does not currently alter its behaviour in response to DNT signals, but we continue to monitor developments in this area.

Some cookies we use may collect information that, alone or in combination with other information, could identify you as an individual. Where cookies involve the processing of personal data, such processing is carried out in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We process personal data collected through cookies on the following legal bases:

• Consent: For non-essential cookies, including analytics, advertising, and functional cookies, where you have provided your consent through our cookie consent mechanism.
• Legitimate interests: For certain analytics and security-related cookies where we have a legitimate interest in understanding how our website is used and in protecting our systems, provided such interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
• Contractual necessity: For strictly necessary cookies required to provide services you have requested from us.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies, changes in applicable law, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. Your continued use of our website after any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Where changes are material, we may provide more prominent notice, such as by displaying a notice on our website or by sending you a notification if we hold your contact information.
