Last Updated: August 26, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Alima World ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website (alimaworld.com) and use our services. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the site owners.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons and pixels) for the following purposes:
• Essential functionality: to enable core features like the shopping cart, user authentication, and security protections. • Analytics: to understand how visitors use our Platform, which pages are most popular, and how to improve our services. • Personalization: to remember your preferences (such as language or currency settings) and provide a more tailored experience. • Marketing: to deliver relevant advertisements and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns (when applicable).
3. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Platform to function properly. They enable core features such as shopping cart management, user authentication, and security protections. These cookies do not require your consent under applicable law, as the Platform cannot operate without them.
4. Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Platform — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether users encounter error messages. This data is aggregated and anonymized. We use this information to improve how the Platform works. Analytics cookies are only set with your consent.
5. Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the Platform to remember choices you make (such as your language, region, or currency) and provide enhanced, personalized features. They may also be used to remember changes you have made to customizable parts of the Platform. Functional cookies are only set with your consent.
6. Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to track your browsing habits across websites to display advertisements that are relevant and engaging for you. These cookies are placed by third-party advertising partners and may be shared with other organizations. Marketing cookies are only set with your explicit consent.
7. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We use the following third-party services that may set cookies:

8. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
• Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may impair the functionality of the Platform. • Cookie consent banner: When you first visit the Platform, you can choose which categories of non-essential cookies to accept. • Opt-out links: You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

9. Cookies and Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how businesses should respond to DNT signals. Our Platform does not currently alter its behavior in response to DNT signals.
