Cookie Policy

Last updated: 19 August 2026

This Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used or planned for the Cencota website, their purposes and the choices available to visitors.

Summary: Necessary technologies support website operation. Planned analytics and advertising tools should be activated only after implementation review and the applicable consent choice.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Cencota, operated by Cencota (Guangzhou) Cosmetics Co., Ltd. (臻谷堂（广州）化妆品有限公司), uses cookies and similar technologies on cencotabeauty.com.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. This Policy distinguishes between technologies currently required for Website operation and tools that are planned but should not be treated as active until they are actually configured.

2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on or read from a browser or device. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage, scripts and device identifiers. They can support security, remember choices, operate forms, measure Website use or help measure advertising.

Some cookies last only for the browser session. Others remain until their stated expiry, are replaced or are deleted through browser or consent settings.

3. How We Use These Technologies

Depending on the Website configuration and the choices available to you, cookies and similar technologies may be used to:

  • deliver and secure Website pages;
  • support WordPress, Elementor forms and catalog functionality;
  • remember cookie or interface preferences;
  • prevent spam, fraud and automated abuse;
  • understand Website traffic and performance; and
  • measure advertising and inquiry conversions.

4. Strictly Necessary Technologies

Strictly necessary technologies support functions such as security, network management, load balancing, form submission, session handling and storage of your cookie choices. The Website may not function correctly without them.

These technologies may be provided through Hostinger hosting, WordPress, Elementor, WooCommerce catalog features and any consent-management tool installed on the Website. Exact names and durations can vary by configuration, update and the feature used.

5. Functional Technologies

Functional technologies may remember choices or provide an optional feature, such as interface preferences, language, embedded media or enhanced form behavior. Where these technologies are not strictly necessary, they should be controlled according to the applicable consent requirements.

Disabling an optional functional technology may affect the related feature without preventing access to the Website’s basic information.

6. Analytics — Google Analytics 4 (Planned)

We plan to use Google Analytics 4 (“GA4”) to understand aggregated Website traffic, pages viewed, device information, approximate location, referral sources and interactions. GA4 is listed here as a planned service; this statement is not evidence that it is currently active.

If enabled, typical GA4 cookies may include _ga and _ga_<container-id>. Google states that their default expiration is two years, although the Website configuration and provider practices may change. Where consent is required, GA4 should remain blocked until analytics consent is given.

Provider information: Google Analytics cookie documentation and Google Privacy Policy.

7. Advertising — Meta Pixel (Planned)

We plan to use Meta Pixel to measure visits, inquiry-related events, advertising performance and audiences. Meta Pixel is listed here as a planned service; this statement is not evidence that it is currently active.

If enabled, Meta may use cookies and similar technologies, including a cookie commonly named _fbp. Meta currently describes _fbp as an identifier used for advertising and site analytics with a lifespan of 90 days. Provider practices may change. Where consent is required, Meta Pixel should remain blocked until advertising consent is given.

Provider information: Meta Cookies Policy and Meta Privacy Policy.

8. Security — Google reCAPTCHA (Planned)

We plan to use Google reCAPTCHA to help distinguish human users from automated traffic and protect forms from spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA is listed here as a planned service; this statement is not evidence that it is currently active.

If enabled, reCAPTCHA may collect device, browser, interaction and network information and may use cookies or similar technologies according to Google’s configuration and policies. Its classification and consent treatment should be reviewed when implemented.

Provider information: Google Privacy Policy and Google Terms.

9. Technology Register

The following register is a planning summary and must be checked against a live Cookie scan whenever the Website configuration changes:

  • Hostinger / WordPress / Elementor / WooCommerce: necessary or functional Website operation; names and durations vary by feature and configuration.
  • Consent manager: stores accept, reject or category preferences after a consent tool is installed; name and duration depend on the selected tool.
  • Google Analytics 4: planned analytics; common examples _ga and _ga_<container-id>; default two years according to Google.
  • Meta Pixel: planned advertising measurement; common example _fbp; 90 days according to Meta.
  • Google reCAPTCHA: planned security and anti-abuse service; exact technologies depend on implementation.

This register must not be treated as a substitute for a live Cookie audit. Services may add, remove or change technologies over time.

10. Your Cookie Choices

Where required, the Website should offer controls that allow you to accept or reject non-essential categories before analytics or advertising technologies are activated. Rejecting non-essential technologies should not prevent access to basic Website content.

After a consent-management tool is installed, you should be able to revisit your choice through its “Cookie Settings” or equivalent control. You can also delete or block cookies through your browser. Browser controls may not block every similar technology and may affect Website features.

11. International Processing and Third Parties

Third-party providers may process cookie or device information in multiple countries or regions. Their own terms and privacy policies apply to their processing. More information about international transfers and service providers is available in our Privacy Policy.

12. Updates and Audits

We may update this Cookie Policy when technologies, providers, legal requirements or Website features change. The updated version will be posted with a revised date.

Before GA4, Meta Pixel, reCAPTCHA or another non-essential technology is enabled, and after major plugin or configuration changes, we should perform a live Cookie scan, update this register and verify that the consent tool actually blocks the relevant technology until the required choice is made.
