COOKIE POLICY

INTRODUCTION
This Cookie Policy explains how aquaecoflow (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website, www.lesswatermore.com (the “Site”).

This policy applies to all users visiting our Site from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United States, UK, and other jurisdictions. We are committed to protecting your digital privacy in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (LFPDPPP), and other applicable laws.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
Cookies serve various functions, such as enabling you to navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and improving the user experience. They also help ensure that the advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

HOW WE USE COOKIES
We categorize cookies into the following types:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our Site. They enable you to navigate the Site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas and processing transactions. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.
Note: We do not require your consent to set these cookies, as they are necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Site, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous information that does not directly identify a visitor.
Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
Marketing and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign.

THIRD-PARTY COOKIES AND PAYMENT SECURITY
We utilise third-party service providers to assist with the operation of our Site. Notably, we partner with Stripe for secure payment processing.
Stripe Cookies: Stripe may place cookies on your device for fraud prevention, fraud detection, and to ensure the security of transactions. These cookies are essential for the secure processing of payments and compliance with financial regulations. By using our checkout services, you acknowledge the processing of data by Stripe for these security purposes.
Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control.

YOUR CONSENT AND CONTROL
In compliance with the GDPR and LFPDPPP:
Opt-In Requirement: We will only place non-essential cookies (such as Performance, Functional, or Marketing cookies) on your device if you have expressly clicked the “Accept” button on our Cookie Banner.
Right to Withdraw: You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can change your cookie preferences by accessing the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our website.
Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

DATA RETENTION
We retain information collected via cookies for varying periods depending on the cookie type and applicable laws in UK, the USA, and the EEA:
Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the Site. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
Persistent Cookies: These remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie). We have established retention periods ensuring data is not held longer than necessary:
Strictly Necessary Data: Retained for the duration required for legal and audit compliance (typically up to 5-10 years for transaction records).
Analytics and Preference Data: Retained for a period not exceeding 24 months from your last visit, unless you refresh your consent.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
As aquaecoflow is domiciled in UK with operations in the USA and Germany, data collected through cookies may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside your country of residence.
We take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this policy. For transfers from the EEA to countries not considered adequate by the European Commission, we rely on standard contractual clauses or equivalent legal mechanisms.
