What Are Cookies Anyway?

Cookies are tiny text files. When you visit plosam.com, we might store some of these on your device. They contain information like your language preference or whether you've visited before. Nothing particularly exciting, but useful for making the site work properly.

Some cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around for a while so we can remember you next time.

The Types We Use

• Essential Cookies

  These keep the website functioning. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate properly or access secure areas. We can't turn these off because they're necessary for basic operation.

• Performance Tracking

  We track how visitors move around our site—which pages get the most attention, where people spend time, that sort of thing. This helps us figure out what's working and what needs improvement. All data is aggregated and anonymous.

• Functionality Cookies

  These remember your choices like language preferences or form information. They make your experience smoother by not forcing you to re-enter the same information repeatedly.

• Marketing and Analytics

  We use these to understand which marketing efforts bring people to our site and to measure campaign effectiveness. This includes tracking from platforms like Google Ads and social media when applicable.

How This Data Actually Helps

We're not collecting data just for the sake of it. Here's what we actually do with cookie information:

When someone visits our floristry masterclass pages, cookies help us see which course topics generate the most interest. If we notice that beginners spend more time on certain tutorial previews, we know to create more content in that direction. It's practical feedback that shapes what we offer.

For users in Azerbaijan, cookies help us serve content in the most relevant way—whether that means showing local workshop schedules or adapting our contact information display.

How Long We Keep Cookies

Different cookies have different lifespans. Some expire when you close your browser (session cookies). Others might stick around for a year or more (persistent cookies). The longer-lasting ones help us recognize returning visitors and maintain your preferences over time.

Third-Party Services

We use a few external services that set their own cookies. This includes Google Analytics for traffic analysis and potentially advertising platforms if we're running campaigns. These services have their own privacy policies, and they collect data according to their own terms.

When you visit our site, you might receive cookies from these third-party services in addition to ours. We don't control what they do with that data, but we've chosen services with strong privacy practices.

Browser-Level Control

Beyond using our rejection button, you can manage cookies directly in your browser settings. Every major browser lets you block cookies entirely, delete existing ones, or set up rules for specific websites.

Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will affect how many websites function—not just ours. You might lose saved preferences and have to log in repeatedly to sites you use regularly.

Most browsers also offer "Do Not Track" settings. We respect these signals when they're present.

Updates to This Policy

We'll update this page if we make significant changes to how we use cookies. When we do, we'll note the revision date at the top. If the changes are substantial, we might send an email notification to registered users.

It's worth checking back occasionally, especially if you have questions about what data we're collecting.
