Cookie policy
El Rey de las Moquetas S.L. (Vinyl King) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the European ePrivacy Directive and the national rules that implement it in each country (in Ireland, S.I. No. 336/2011).
1. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small file that a website stores in your browser. Cookies make the shop work (for example, by remembering your basket), help us understand how you use it and, if you agree, are used to show you advertising.
2. Which cookies we use
| Type | Purpose | Is your consent needed? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Running the shop: basket, checkout, login, language and currency, security and remembering your cookie choice | No |
| Preferences | Remembering your choices, such as country or language | Yes, unless they are strictly necessary |
| Analytics | Aggregated information on the number of visits and pages viewed, to improve the shop | Yes |
| Marketing | Measuring our campaigns and showing you relevant ads on other websites and social media | Yes |
The shop runs on Shopify, which sets its own cookies, including cart, localization, _tracking_consent, _shopify_essential and secure_customer_sig (strictly necessary) and _shopify_y and _shopify_s (analytics). You can see the full list, with the purpose and duration of each, at shopify.com/legal/cookies.
If you give your consent, we also use the following third-party services:
| Service | Main cookies | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics (Google Ireland Ltd.) |
_ga, _ga_*
|
Analytics | Counting visits and aggregated information on which pages and products interest you | Up to 2 years |
| Google Ads (Google Ireland Ltd.) |
_gcl_au, _gcl_aw
|
Marketing | Seeing which Google ads lead to a purchase and showing ads to people who have already visited us | Up to 90 days |
| Meta pixel (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.: Facebook and Instagram) |
_fbp, _fbc
|
Marketing | Measuring our campaigns on Facebook and Instagram and showing ads to people who have already visited us | Up to 90 days |
These services are only switched on if you accept them in the cookie banner; if you decline, they are not set. With Google we use Consent Mode: until you give your consent, Google does not store cookies in your browser. To measure purchases, the shop may send Google and Meta the order details (amount and products) and, only with your consent, your email address or phone number in encrypted form, to link the purchase to the ad. More information: Google cookies and Meta cookies.
3. Giving and withdrawing consent
On your first visit, the cookie banner lets you accept everything, reject non-essential cookies or choose by category. Rejecting is as easy as accepting. You can change your choice at any time with the "Cookie preferences" link at the bottom of the page. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew it.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge…). If you block strictly necessary cookies, the basket or the checkout may stop working.
4. Transfers outside the EU
Some providers, such as Shopify, Google or Meta, may process data outside the European Economic Area with appropriate safeguards (the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses). More information in our privacy policy.
5. Contact and complaints
If you have any questions, write to us at hello@vinylking.eu. You can also complain to your data protection authority: in Ireland, the Data Protection Commission; in Estonia, the Data Protection Inspectorate (Andmekaitse Inspektsioon); in Bulgaria, the Commission for Personal Data Protection; and in Spain, where we are based, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD).
