Cookie Policy
Cookie Policy
EestBIK OÜ
Effective date: 20 June 2025 | Last updated: 20 June 2025
1 What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember your preferences and—where you permit—analyse how you use the service. “Cookies” in this Policy also covers similar technologies such as local storage, pixels and SDK-based identifiers.
2 Why We Use Cookies
Our marketplace at https://www.codexnova.com/ currently runs a minimal cookie footprint (no third-party analytics or ads yet) . We set cookies to:
- Secure the checkout flow (e.g., CSRF protection).
- Remember your session and shopping cart.
- Save language / currency choices for a smoother UX.
- Collect aggregated statistics (self-hosted Matomo) once you consent.
- Enable marketing pixels (e.g., Meta Pixel) only after opt-in for remarketing campaigns.
3 Legal Bases
| Category | GDPR Legal Basis | Notes |
| Strictly necessary | Art 6 (1)(b) – Contract | Essential for site operation; cannot be disabled. |
| Preference / statistics / marketing | Art 6 (1)(a) – Consent | Activated only if you accept via the cookie banner. |
4 Cookie Banner & Consent Management
- First visit triggers a banner with “Accept all”, “Reject non-essential” and “Customise”.
- Consent is stored in cookie_consent_status (12-month expiry).
- You can modify consent at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer; this re-opens the banner and updates the log.

6 Third-Party Processors
If you consent to statistics or marketing cookies, data may be processed by:
- Matomo Cloud (EU data centre) – anonymous page-view analytics.
- Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. – remarketing audiences.
Both providers act as processors under GDPR SCCs or adequacy decisions; data stays within the EEA where technically feasible.
7 How to Control Cookies
- In-site: click “Cookie Settings” in the footer to change or withdraw consent.
- Browser: most browsers let you delete or block cookies via settings ➜ privacy ➜ cookies.
- Do Not Track: the Platform honours DNT signals by auto-disabling non-essential cookies.
8 Retention & Deletion
Cookies auto-expire after the lifespans listed in § 5. Consent logs are retained for 13 months to demonstrate compliance.
9 Updates to This Policy
We may revise this Policy (e.g., when we add a new analytics tool). We will:
- Show a banner for material changes, and
- Update the “Last updated” date above.
If a change requires new consent, the banner will re-prompt you.
