2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files or identifiers that a website may store or access on the device used for browsing. Among other functions, they allow a session to remain active, remember certain preferences, temporarily retain shopping cart information and facilitate the secure operation of an online store.

Similar technologies, such as browser local storage or session storage, may also be used when necessary to provide certain functions.

3. Scope of this policy

This policy specifically applies to technologies used in connection with the store, customer accounts, the purchasing process, orders, digital downloads and functions associated with commercial products from Alamarte Engineering.

It complements the general privacy and cookie policies applicable to the rest of alamarte.com.

4. Types of cookies and similar technologies

Essential or necessary cookies

These are required for the website and store to operate correctly. They may be used to maintain the user's session, authenticate access, preserve the shopping cart, process checkout steps, apply security functions or remember certain decisions that are essential to provide the requested service.

Disabling these technologies through the browser may prevent certain areas of the store from functioning correctly.

Functional or preference cookies

These allow certain user choices to be remembered and improve the browsing experience, for example language, display or other preferences when those functions are enabled.

Performance, measurement or analytics cookies

These may be used to understand, in aggregate, how the website is used, detect technical problems, measure performance and improve navigation and the services offered.

When these technologies require authorization, they will be activated according to the preferences expressed by the user.

Marketing cookies

These may be used only when marketing or advertising services requiring this type of technology are enabled and, when applicable, the user's authorization has been obtained.

The store does not require marketing cookies to perform its basic purchasing, payment or download functions.

5. Cookies required for the store

Joomla!, Phoca Cart and other functions integrated into alamarte.com may use cookies or technical storage to perform tasks required during interaction with the store.

These functions may include:

• Maintaining a valid browsing session.
• Securely identifying an authenticated user.
• Temporarily retaining products added to the shopping cart.
• Maintaining the state of the purchasing process.
• Applying security controls and protection against unauthorized requests.
• Remembering cookie consent preferences.

The specific names, duration and technical characteristics of these cookies may change when Joomla!, Phoca Cart or other extensions are updated.

6. Wompi and payment providers

When the user selects Wompi as the payment method, they may be redirected or connected to technology services operated by Wompi in order to complete the transaction.

Wompi may use its own cookies or equivalent technologies in accordance with its policies, security requirements, fraud-prevention measures and service operation.

These technologies are managed by the respective provider when they operate on its domains, applications or infrastructure and are not directly controlled by Alamarte Engineering.

7. Third-party cookies and services

Some website functions may depend on external providers of payment processing, hosting, security, analytics, embedded content or other technology services.

When a third party uses its own cookies or similar technologies, their processing will also be subject to the policies and conditions of the corresponding provider.

The presence of an external service does not mean that all of its cookies are permanently active. Their loading may depend on the function being used, the technical configuration and the consent preferences established by the user.

8. Consent and preferences

When the use of a cookie or similar technology involves data processing that requires authorization, the user may express their decision through the consent mechanism enabled on alamarte.com.

The user may accept or reject the available optional categories and subsequently modify their preferences through the tools provided on the website, when available.

Technologies that are strictly necessary to provide an expressly requested function may be essential for the store, authentication, shopping cart or purchasing process to operate correctly.

9. Browser management

Modern browsers allow users to view, block or delete cookies stored on their devices. The available options and procedures depend on the browser being used.

Blocking cookies generally may cause some functions of alamarte.com to stop working correctly, including login, shopping cart, preferences or certain checkout stages.

10. Cookies and personal data

When information obtained through cookies or similar technologies constitutes personal data or can be linked to an identified or identifiable person, its processing will be carried out in accordance with the applicable personal data protection regulations.

For information about the purposes of processing, data subject rights, inquiry and complaint procedures and other information related to the processing of store data, please refer to the Store Privacy and Personal Data Processing Policy.

11. Duration

Cookies may be session cookies, which are deleted when the session ends or the browser is closed depending on its configuration, or persistent cookies, which remain for a specified period.

Their duration will depend on the purpose of each technology and the configuration established by Joomla!, Phoca Cart or the corresponding provider.

Reasonable efforts will be made to ensure that retention is proportionate to the purpose for which each cookie or equivalent technology is used.

12. Updates to this policy

This policy may be updated when store functions, installed extensions, third-party services, technologies used or applicable provisions change.

The addition, removal or updating of technical components may change the names, purposes or storage periods of certain cookies without necessarily altering the general categories described in this document.

The current version will be available at alamarte.com and will indicate the date of its most recent update.
