Cookie Policy & Preferences

1. Introduction

Cordialsa USA ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on cordialsausa.com (the "Site"). This Cookie Policy explains how and why we use these technologies, how they interact with your device, and your rights to control their use in compliance with U.S. state privacy laws.

2. Why We Use Tracking Technologies and Analytics

We deploy cookies and advanced analytics systems (such as Google Analytics) strictly governed by your active consent preferences to improve the user experience, optimize our corporate processes, and provide better, more tailored services. These analytical tools allow us to understand traffic patterns, evaluate the technical performance of our Site, and ensure our B2B and B2C platforms operate securely and efficiently.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Our Consent Management Platform (CMP) categorizes cookies into the following types:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the Site to function properly (e.g., shopping cart functionality, security gateways). These cannot be switched off in our systems.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: Allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular.
• Functional Cookies: Enable the Site to provide enhanced functionality and personalization (e.g., language preferences, remembering your region).
• Targeting and Advertising Cookies: Set through our Site by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites.

4. Our Hybrid Consent Model (State-Specific Compliance)

Because Cordialsa USA operates across multiple jurisdictions with differing legal requirements, our interactive Consent Management Platform (CMP) uses geo-targeting to apply the appropriate legal standard based on your location:

• Opt-Out Model (General, Texas, California, etc.): By default, non-essential cookies may be deployed when you visit the Site. You have the right to actively "opt-out" of Targeting and Advertising cookies using our CMP interface or the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in our footer.
• Opt-In Model (Maryland, New Jersey): If you are visiting from Maryland or New Jersey, we operate under a strict data minimization standard. We will not deploy non-essential cookies, collect precise geolocation data, or process sensitive information unless you provide explicit, affirmative "Opt-In" consent through our cookie banner.

5. Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Cordialsa USA respects and legally honors the Global Privacy Control (GPC). The GPC is a universally recognized technical standard that allows you to transmit a signal directly from your web browser or a privacy extension, indicating your preference not to have your personal data sold or shared for targeted advertising.

How our system responds: Our Site is technically programmed to passively listen for the GPC signal (via HTTP headers or the DOM property navigator.globalPrivacyControl). Upon detecting an active GPC signal from your browser, our system will automatically and immediately abort the loading of any third-party tracking scripts, advertising tags, or pixels categorized as a "sale" or "sharing" of data.

6. How to Manage Your Preferences

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by interacting with our Consent Management Platform (CMP). Simply click the "Cookie Preferences" or "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link located in the footer of our Site to adjust your settings.

Additionally, 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 and how to manage and delete them, visit standard educational resources such as allaboutcookies.org.
