Confidentiality and security of personal data
Sekhmet Herbal undertakes to adopt the necessary technical and organisational measures, in accordance with the level of security appropriate to the risk associated with the data collected, in order to guarantee the security of personal data and to prevent the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration of personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed, or unauthorised communication or access to such data.

In accordance with Article 4 of the GDPR, a personal data breach means any breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.

II. COOKIE POLICY
Access to this website may involve the use of cookies. Cookies are small amounts of information that are stored in the browser used by each user — on the different devices they may use to browse — so that the server remembers certain information that will then only be read by the server that set them up. Cookies facilitate browsing, make it more user-friendly and do not damage the browsing device.
Cookies are automatic procedures for collecting information relating to the preferences determined by the user when visiting the website in order to recognise them as a user and personalise their experience and use of the website. They can also, for example, help to identify and resolve errors.
The information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits to the website, the pages viewed, the time spent on the website, and the websites visited immediately before and after it. However, no cookie allows the user to be contacted at their telephone number or by any other means of personal contact. No cookie can extract information from the user's hard drive or steal personal information. The only way for the user's private information to be included in the cookie file is for the user to personally provide this information to the server.
Cookies that allow a person to be identified are considered personal data. Therefore, the privacy policy described above applies to them. In this regard, their use requires the user's consent. This consent will be communicated, on the basis of an authentic choice, offered by an affirmative and positive decision, prior to the initial processing, revocable and documented.
