Cookie policy

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on dreamplusart.com (the “Website”).

1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. Similar technologies include local storage and other identifiers stored in your browser. These technologies can be used to make a website work properly, improve security, remember preferences, and in some cases track users.

2. Do we use tracking/marketing cookies?

Yes, but only analytics — and only if you accept. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use this Website (which pages are viewed, how people arrived here). We do not use advertising/retargeting pixels or profiling cookies. Google Analytics is never activated until you click "Accept" on the cookie banner shown when you first visit.

3. What cookies/technologies do we use?

Some are strictly necessary and always active; others (analytics) are optional and only run after you give consent.

A) Strictly necessary (essential)

These are required to:

• Keep the Website secure and working correctly
• Enable core features (e.g., shopping cart)
• Manage admin login sessions (for site administration)
• Allow payments to be processed when you proceed to checkout

Examples may include: Session cookies, local storage entries for cart items, and security-related identifiers.

B) Payment (PayPal)

When you choose to pay via PayPal, PayPal may set cookies and use similar technologies to process the payment, prevent fraud, and secure the transaction. These cookies are managed by PayPal and are subject to PayPal’s own privacy and cookie policies.

C) Analytics (Google Analytics 4) — only with your consent

If you click "Accept" on the cookie banner, we load Google Analytics 4 to see how many people visit the site, which pages they view, and where they come from. This data is not used to identify you individually.

• Cookies used: _ga, _ga_* (set by Google Analytics)
• Purpose: distinguishing visitors and sessions to produce aggregate traffic statistics
• Retention: up to 14 months
• Provider: Google Ireland Limited — see Google’s Privacy Policy

If you click "Reject" (or close the banner without accepting), Google Analytics is never activated and none of these cookies are set.

4. Do you need to give consent?

Yes, for analytics. A cookie banner is shown the first time you visit. Google Analytics only runs if you click "Accept" — it is never loaded before you make a choice, and never loaded at all if you click "Reject". Strictly necessary cookies/technologies (cart, admin login, payment) do not require consent and are always active, as they are needed to provide the service you request.

5. How to control cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies/storage may cause parts of the Website (such as the cart or checkout flow) to stop working properly.
