2. What cookies and similar technologies are
2.1 Cookies and similar technologies:
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to website owners about how users interact with their services.
We also use similar technologies, including:
• Pixel tags (such as Meta Pixel, TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest, and X/Twitter pixels).
• Web beacons and clear GIFs.
• Local storage and session storage.
• Software development kits (SDKs) in our mobile or web integrations.
These technologies collectively are referred to as “cookies” in this policy for simplicity, unless stated otherwise.
2.2 First-party and third-party cookies:
• First-party cookies are set directly by Chimera Pro™ when you visit the Website.
• Third-party cookies are set by other organizations, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms (for example, Google Analytics, Google Ads, Omnisend, Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest, X/Twitter, and YouTube). Third-party cookies can be used to recognize your device across different websites and services over time, which can enable cross-site analytics and targeted advertising.

3. Legal bases and jurisdiction-specific frameworks
3.1 EU/EEA, UK and similar jurisdictions (GDPR and ePrivacy):
For visitors in the EEA, the UK, and other jurisdictions with similar rules (including Quebec under Law 25), we rely on consent as the primary legal basis for using non-essential cookies, in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and the ePrivacy Directive (often called the “Cookie Law”). This means that, except for strictly necessary cookies, cookies are not placed or read on your device unless and until you provide explicit, informed, and unambiguous consent via our cookie banner or preferences center.
Strictly necessary cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interests and/or to perform a contract with you, because they are required for the Website and our services to function and to complete transactions that you request.
3.2 Canada (PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25):
In Canada, our cookie practices are designed to meet the requirements of PIPEDA and applicable provincial laws, including Quebec’s Law 25. For Quebec residents, we obtain explicit opt‑in consent for non-essential cookies that can identify, locate, or profile individuals, and we provide clear information about the purposes of these technologies and how to withdraw consent.
For other Canadian users, we rely on meaningful consent, which may be express or implied depending on the context, but non-essential cookies that enable profiling or cross-site tracking are treated in a similar way to EU-style consent to maintain a consistent, privacy-forward experience.
3.3 United States (including California CCPA/CPRA):
For users in the United States, including California residents, we comply with applicable state privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA). These laws generally follow an opt-out model for cookies that are considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (for example, some advertising cookies and tracking pixels), and require that you receive clear notice and a way to opt out of such activities.
Our cookie banner and preferences center are configured to honor opt-out choices for California and similar jurisdictions and to treat certain advertising and analytics cookies as “sale” or “sharing” where relevant, even if we do not exchange your data for money.
3.4 Other jurisdictions:
Because Chimera Pro™ ships globally, the cookie framework is designed to meet or exceed the requirements of other major data protection laws where our customers are located by combining a strict opt‑in model for high‑risk jurisdictions with clear notices and robust opt‑out controls elsewhere. Where local law allows more flexible consent standards, we may rely on legitimate interests or implied consent for limited analytics and service-improvement purposes while still offering you the ability to manage cookies at any time.

4. Types of cookies we use
4.4 Performance and analytics cookies:
Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our Website so that we can measure and improve its performance, optimize our content, and build better products and experiences. For example, we use or may use:
• Google Analytics 4 (GA4), including via MonsterInsights and Google Tag Manager, to collect aggregated information about how visitors interact with the Website (pages visited, time spent, referring pages, device and browser information, and similar metrics).
• Server-side and CDN logs provided by our hosting provider (Chemicloud.com) and related infrastructure partners to monitor performance, security, and reliability.
Where required by law (for example, in the EU/EEA, UK, and Quebec), these cookies are only activated after you have provided your consent through our cookie banner or preferences center. In other regions, we may rely on legitimate interests or implied consent while still honoring any opt-out choices you make.
4.5 Marketing and advertising cookies:
Marketing cookies are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you, to limit the number of times you see an ad, to measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns, and to build audience segments or “lookalike” groups for advertising. We use or may use:
• Google Ads tags and related Google Marketing Platform tags (including conversion and remarketing tags).
• Meta Pixel (Facebook and Instagram).
• TikTok Pixel.
• Snapchat Pixel.
• Pinterest Tag.
• X/Twitter advertising tags.
• Other advertising and affiliate network pixels as our marketing strategy evolves.
These cookies can track your browsing across different websites and services and may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under some laws (such as CCPA/CPRA), which is why they are subject to strict consent or opt-out requirements. Where required, we only enable these cookies after you have provided consent in the cookie banner or preferences center and respect any “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signals where legally mandated.
4.6 Social media and content cookies:
These cookies are set by social media services and content platforms that we integrate with our Website, such as YouTube and other embedded media. They can be used to:
• Show you embedded videos, social feeds, and interactive content.
• Allow you to share our content with your networks via “share” or “like” buttons.
• Build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content or ads on other sites.
When you consent to these cookies, the third-party providers may combine information about your use of our Website with information from your accounts with those services.

5. Specific tools and providers we use
5.1 Analytics and measurement tools:
We currently use or plan to use the following analytics and measurement services:
• Google Analytics 4 (GA4), including via MonsterInsights and Google Tag Manager, to understand how visitors use our Website and to improve design, product offerings, and marketing strategies.
• Internal performance monitoring tools from our hosting provider and infrastructure partners to maintain security, uptime, and performance.
Where Google tools are used, we will implement and maintain Google’s Consent Mode (including Consent Mode v2) to adjust how Google tags behave based on your consent choices, allowing us to respect your privacy decisions while still obtaining aggregated, modeled insights where permitted by law.
5.2 Advertising and retargeting tools:
To promote Chimera Pro™ products and measure campaign performance, we use or plan to use:
• Google Ads and related conversion and remarketing tags.
• Meta Pixel (Facebook and Instagram).
• TikTok Pixel.
• Snapchat, Pinterest, and X/Twitter advertising tags.
• Additional ad networks and affiliate partners that may be integrated in the future.
These tools allow us to show you more relevant advertisements, measure conversions (for example, when you click an ad and complete a purchase), and build audiences based on broad behavioral patterns rather than individual identities wherever possible. We configure these tools so they follow your consent settings and local legal requirements, including treating certain uses as “sale” or “sharing” and providing you with effective opt-out choices where required by law.
5.3 Email marketing, CRM and onsite engagement:
We use Omnisend and similar platforms to send newsletters, promotions, cart recovery messages, and other marketing or transactional communications, as well as to manage customer profiles and segment audiences. These tools may set cookies and use tracking pixels in our Website and email communications to understand open rates, clicks, purchases, and other engagement metrics, so we can provide relevant offers and improve our campaigns.
You can adjust your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie settings and also unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the “unsubscribe” link in our messages or by contacting us directly.

6. Children and minors
6.1 Age-related practices:
Our Website and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly use cookies or similar technologies to profile or target individuals we know to be under 18 years old. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal information or cookie-based profiles relating to a minor in a way that violates applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information or anonymize it.
6.2 Quebec Law 25 and child consent:
Where Quebec’s Law 25 applies, parental or guardian consent is required for the collection of personal information about children under 14 years old, and we configure our consent mechanisms with the expectation that minors should not be the primary users of our website. If you believe that a child has interacted with our website in a way that raises privacy concerns, please contact us so we can address the situation.

7. Customer accounts, profiles and loyalty programs
7.1 Customer profiles and bonus systems:
As we develop our loyalty and bonus systems, we will use cookies and similar identifiers to associate your Website activity with your customer account, where applicable. This allows us to:
• Maintain your account session and show your personalized dashboard.
• Track bonus points, rewards, and benefits associated with your account.
• Offer personalized product recommendations, promotions, and content tailored to your interests and behavior within lawful limits.
In jurisdictions that require consent for profiling based on cookies, we will obtain your consent before enabling such features and give you the ability to manage or withdraw that consent at any time.
7.2 Automated decision-making and profiling safeguards:
Where cookie-based profiling significantly affects you (for example, automated decisions that meaningfully impact your rights or access to benefits), we will ensure that such processing is subject to appropriate safeguards, including the ability to request human review and to contest the decision where required by law. Our primary use of cookies for profiling is to improve personalization, recommendations, and marketing relevance, not to make decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects.

8. Consent, opt-out and managing cookies
8.1 Cookie banner and Consent Management Platform (CMP):
We use a Consent Management Platform (CMP), including CookieYes or similar technology, to display a cookie banner and manage your cookie choices in a granular, region-sensitive way. The banner appears on your first visit and whenever significant changes are made to our cookie practices, and it:
• Explains that cookies are used and for what purposes.
• Allows you to accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or customize your choices by category.
• Provides access to more detailed information in this Cookie Policy before you decide.
In jurisdictions that require prior opt‑in consent for non-essential cookies (such as the EU/EEA, UK, and Quebec), the banner ensures that such cookies are blocked until you actively consent.
8.2 Region-based behavior and preference center:
Our CMP uses location-based logic where appropriate to apply the strictest consent standards required by law in the relevant jurisdiction while allowing more flexible models where legally allowed. For example:
• Visitors from the EU/EEA, UK, and Quebec will see a banner requiring explicit opt-in for non-essential cookies.
• Visitors from California and other US states will see a banner and/or link that clearly explains how to opt out of cookies that involve “selling” or “sharing” personal information and how to manage other cookies.
You can reopen the preferences center at any time by clicking the cookie settings icon or link in the footer of our Website, which allows you to review and change your cookie choices.
8.3 Withdrawing consent or changing your settings:
You can:
• Withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time using our cookie preferences tool.
• Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies (though this may affect the functionality of the Website).
• Use platform-specific opt-out tools (for example, Google’s Ads Settings, Meta’s ad preferences) and industry-wide opt-out mechanisms where available.
When you withdraw consent, we stop setting new non-essential cookies and adjust relevant tags via Consent Mode or equivalent mechanisms; however, cookies already stored on your device may need to be removed through your browser settings.

9. Data retention, consent logs and international transfers
9.1 Cookie and analytics data retention:
We keep cookie-related data and analytics derived from cookies only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For many analytics and marketing tools, we configure maximum retention to around 48 months where technically supported, in order to understand long-term trends and improve our offerings while staying within reasonable limits.
At the end of the retention period, data is either deleted, anonymized, or aggregated so that it no longer identifies you.
9.2 Consent records and audit trail:
To demonstrate compliance, we maintain records of your cookie consent and preferences, including information such as the date and time of your consent, your region or inferred location, the version of the consent banner and policy shown to you, and the choices you made. These records are stored securely, typically for up to 5 years or longer where required for regulatory, legal, or audit purposes.
9.3 Cross-border transfers:
Because Chimera Pro™ works with global service providers (including Google, Omnisend, social media and advertising partners, and hosting providers), cookie-derived information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including the United States and other jurisdictions where data protection laws may differ. Where required by law, we implement appropriate safeguards for such transfers, such as standard contractual clauses, additional technical measures, and careful selection of service providers that commit to robust privacy and security protections.
