Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

VallitaCo (“VallitaCo”, “we”, “us” or “our”) values your privacy and uses cookies only to keep www.rosiross.com (the “Site”) reliable and secure, and to understand how it is used so we can improve it. This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can control them.

This policy applies to the Site, which is published by VallitaCo, a company based in Hong Kong. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and our Terms & Conditions. We do not operate a mobile app or offer memberships, so this policy covers the website only.

If you have any questions about cookies or how we use your information, contact us at privacy@rosiross.com.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your browser or device when you visit. They help the website recognize your device on later visits and serve purposes such as remembering your preferences and measuring how the site is used. Web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies can do the same thing. In this policy, “cookies” refers to all of these technologies.

3. How We Use Cookies

We group the cookies we use into two categories.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the Site to work properly and stay secure. They include cookies that remember your cookie choices and cookies that help protect the Site and its contact form from misuse. They cannot be switched off through our cookie settings, though you can block them in your browser, which may stop parts of the Site from working.

Analytics cookies

With your consent, we use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google, to understand how visitors use the Site, for example which pages are visited most often, how people arrive at the Site, and what devices they use. This information helps us improve our content and features. Google Analytics sets the cookies listed in section 4 and receives technical information such as your IP address, browser, device type, and pages viewed. Google may process this information on our behalf in countries outside Hong Kong.

Newsletter and email technologies

We send our newsletter through Mailchimp. When you subscribe, we collect your email address, and Mailchimp processes it on our behalf. Emails sent through Mailchimp may include pixel tags and tracked links that tell us whether an email was opened and which links were clicked, so we can see which content is of interest and avoid sending messages that are not. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter.

Contact form

If you contact us through the contact form, we collect the information you enter, such as your name and email address, and use it only to respond to you.

We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not use cookies to sell your personal information.

You can manage your cookies in the following ways:

  • Our cookie settings. When you first visit the Site, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings on the Site.
  • Your browser. Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies in their settings. Please check your browser’s help pages for instructions.
  • Google Analytics opt-out. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available from Google.
  • Newsletters. You can stop email tracking by unsubscribing, or by turning off image loading in your email program.

If you block or delete cookies, some parts of the Site may not work properly, and we will not be able to remember your preferences. For general information about cookies and how to manage them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

6. Your Personal Data

We handle personal data collected through cookies in line with Hong Kong’s Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) and as described in our Privacy Policy. You may request access to or correction of your personal data, or ask us questions about how it is used, by emailing privacy@rosiross.com.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example when we add new services or when our providers change their cookies. Updates will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date, and if changes are significant, we may also notify you by email. Your continued use of the Site means you accept the updated policy.
