ShopVimCenter Cookie Policy
28 October 2026
This Policy explains cookies, browser storage and similar terminal technologies used for ShopVimCenter at https://vimgrace.com/vimcenter/. The controller is VIMGRACE, UNIPESSOAL LDA, NIPC 517626829, Funchal, Portugal. Contact manager@vimgrace.com. The Privacy Notice explains personal data, recipients, transfers and rights.
1 Required and optional technologies
1.1. Consent is not required for storage or access that is strictly necessary to transmit a communication or provide a service you expressly request, where the applicable law permits that exception. This includes necessary authentication, security and recording of privacy choices. A technology is not exempt merely because it is useful to the Company.
1.2. Preregistration referral recognition and optional visit or performance analytics use prior consent where required. Storage in localStorage, pixels and similar browser identifiers are subject to the relevant rule just as cookies are. We do not classify an affiliate marketing identifier as strictly necessary merely because the programme pays commissions.
1.3. Mentioning a category in this Policy does not authorise its activation. Before an optional technology is used, its purpose, provider, duration and relevant transfer information must be disclosed and any required consent obtained.
2 Referral recognition
2.1. Where you consent, the preregistration referral marker may contain the referring creator code, the time of the referral and a visitor identifier, for up to 30 days. Within that period, a later valid referral can replace the earlier preregistration referral according to the programme rules; a direct visit does not itself restart or extend the period.
2.2. Refusing or withdrawing this optional consent must prevent further use of that browser marker and remove it where reasonably possible. You may continue browsing, registering and buying through the necessary service functions. A prior optional referral may then be unrecognised; neither the visitor nor a creator is promised recovery of a missing attribution through an unconsented identifier.
2.3. After registration, an account’s inviter and programme relationship may be retained as server side contractual information, with the legal basis and retention stated in the Privacy Notice. An existing account relationship is not automatically changed by a later link or by changing a cookie choice. Do not use fingerprinting or another undisclosed technique to recreate tracking that was refused.
3 Choice and withdrawal
3.1. The consent panel provides "Accept optional cookies", "Reject optional cookies" and "Manage preferences". Optional choices remain off until affirmatively selected. Scrolling, closing a banner, continued browsing or accepting contractual terms does not constitute consent to optional cookies.
3.2. Choices can be changed through "Manage preferences" or the cookie settings control on the website. Withdrawal must be as easy as acceptance. A choice is stored for up to 6 months; a material change in purposes or relevant providers may require a new choice sooner. Refusal is respected and remembered on the same basis as acceptance.
3.3. Blocking cookies through your browser may affect login or other functions that genuinely require them. A refusal of optional tracking must not disable unrelated necessary functions. Where an applicable law requires recognition of a browser opt out signal, the implementation must honour that signal and display a compatible choice.
4 Live technology register
4.1. The technology register in the cookie settings identifies the technologies in use, their providers, purposes, data, categories, duration, scope and relevant recipient or transfer information. It forms part of this Policy and must be updated when those technologies change.
4.2. The service categories are necessary authentication and security, privacy choice storage, and optional preregistration referral tracking. Authentication technologies last for the requested session or the persistent sign in period shown in the detailed list; security technologies have the specified proportionate lifetime. Optional referral recognition lasts no longer than 30 days and choice storage no longer than 6 months.
4.3. Optional performance event records retained on the server are subject to the Privacy Notice and its limit of up to 12 months; that period does not extend a browser referral marker beyond 30 days. A cookie’s expiry and a lawful retention period for a server transaction record are different matters.
5 Third party services and updates
5.1. Approved payment, verification or external content services may have their own necessary technologies and independent privacy notices. The relevant information and legal basis must be provided when they are used. Nonessential third party embeds must not load before the required choice.
5.2. This Policy is updated when relevant technologies, providers or requirements change. The Company retains proportionate evidence of the information and choice presented. Questions and rights requests may be sent to manager@vimgrace.com.
