Cookie Policy El Macondo Cigars d.o.o.
This Cookie Policy (hereinafter: the Policy) explains what cookies are, what types of cookies the website www.elmacondocigars.com (hereinafter: the Website) uses, for what purposes, and how you can manage your settings.
The controller is El Macondo Cigars d.o.o., Zagreb (hereinafter: El Macondo).
The rules apply together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
By using the Website or clicking on the appropriate option in the cookie banner, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with these Rules, except for necessary cookies that are used without consent, in accordance with applicable regulations.
- What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, mobile phone, tablet) when you visit a Website.
They enable the website to function properly, measure traffic, customize content display, and remember certain settings.
In addition to cookies, similar technologies (e.g. pixels, local browser storage) may also be used; in this Policy we refer to all of them collectively as “cookies”.
- What cookies do we use and why?
On the El Macondo Website we may use the following categories of cookies:
(a) Necessary (mandatory) cookies
These cookies are essential for the functioning of the site and cannot be switched off in our systems.
We use them, for example, to:
- display and basic functioning of the page,
- security settings,
- saving technical settings related to cookies (your choice of acceptance/rejection).
Without these cookies, the site cannot function properly. Consent is not required for them.
(b) Analytical/statistical cookies
These cookies help us understand how the Website is used (number of visits, which pages are most visited, duration of visits, etc.) in order to improve the content and user experience.
The data is processed in aggregated or pseudonymized form, without any attempt to personally identify you.
We only use them if you give us your consent through the cookie banner.
(c) Functional cookies
They enable improved functionality and personalization (eg remembering preferred language or content display mode).
If they are used, they are activated only with your consent.
(d) Marketing/advertising cookies
They are used to display targeted ads and measure campaign effectiveness, usually through third-party tools.
Given the nature of the El Macondo brand and legal restrictions on tobacco products, such cookies are used, if at all, in a very limited manner and only with your express consent.
If third-party advertising or retargeting tools are introduced, information about them will be clearly stated in the updated version of this Policy.
- Third-party cookies
Some cookies may belong to third-party service providers (e.g. analytics tools, video embedding, social networks).
Such providers may independently collect certain information about your use of the Website, in accordance with their privacy policies.
El Macondo does not have full control over third-party cookies and we recommend that you read their privacy and cookie policies on their official websites.
- How to manage cookies?
You can manage cookies in two ways:
(1) Via cookie banner
When you first visit the Online Site, a notification (banner) will appear where you can:
- accept all cookies,
- refuse non-essential cookies,
- adjust settings by category.
You can change your choice later via the “Cookie Settings” link (or similar designation) available on the Website, if implemented.
(2) Through browser settings
You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings.
The procedure varies depending on the browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge…).
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functioning and display of the Website.
- How long do we keep cookies?
The storage duration depends on the type of cookie:
- Session cookies: are deleted automatically after closing the browser.
- Persistent cookies: remain on your device for a certain period of time or until you manually delete them.
Non-essential cookies are kept for as long as necessary for the purpose for which they are set, and for no longer than is necessary in accordance with applicable regulations and recommendations. Specific deadlines (e.g. 1 day, 30 days, 12 months) depend on the individual cookie and, if applicable, will be specified in the detailed list of cookies.

Information collected through cookies, depending on their nature, may constitute personal data.
In this case, the provisions of our Privacy Policy apply, which explains in detail:
- who is the data controller,
