This Cookie Policy explains how NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED ("NiceNIC", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on nicenic.com and related NiceNIC web services.
This Policy should be read together with the NiceNIC Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small data files that a website may store on or read from a user's browser or device.
Cookies and similar technologies can be used to:
Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, software development kit identifiers, device identifiers, or other browser/device storage or access mechanisms.
Whether a cookie or online identifier is personal data depends on the information involved and the surrounding circumstances.
Where cookie, device, analytics, advertising, or similar data can identify or be linked to an identifiable individual, NiceNIC handles that information as personal data in accordance with the NiceNIC Privacy Policy and applicable law.
NiceNIC may use the following categories of cookies or similar technologies.
These technologies are required for core website and account functions, such as:
Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website, account, checkout, or other services from functioning correctly.
Where applicable law permits, strictly necessary technologies may be used without consent because they are required to provide a service requested by the user or to operate essential site functions.
Functional technologies may remember optional preferences or enable enhanced website features.
Examples may include:
Where applicable law requires consent for these technologies, NiceNIC will request the required choice before using them.
Analytics and performance technologies may help NiceNIC understand:
NiceNIC uses this information to improve website reliability, usability, content, and service performance.
Where applicable law requires consent before analytics or performance technologies are stored or accessed, NiceNIC will request that consent.
Where NiceNIC uses advertising or marketing technologies, they may be used to:
Advertising or marketing cookies are not required for core NiceNIC account or domain-registration functions.
Where applicable law requires prior consent, NiceNIC will not intentionally activate such technologies for that user until the required consent has been obtained.
A first-party cookie is set or read by NiceNIC's website domain.
A third-party cookie or technology may be provided by another service used on the NiceNIC website, such as an analytics, security, payment, customer-support, video, advertising, or other technology provider.
Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy terms in addition to acting as a service provider to NiceNIC.
NiceNIC evaluates third-party services and seeks to use appropriate contractual, privacy, and security safeguards where required.
NiceNIC may use cookies or similar storage necessary to:
Because these technologies are closely connected to a service requested by the user, blocking them may make the relevant service unavailable or unreliable.
NiceNIC may use analytics to understand how the site and services perform.
Analytics data may include:
NiceNIC seeks to limit analytics data to what is reasonably necessary for the stated purpose and to apply available privacy settings where appropriate.
NiceNIC may use conversion or advertising measurement technologies for marketing campaigns where such use is lawful.
Where required by applicable law, these technologies are subject to the user's consent choices.
NiceNIC does not treat refusal of optional advertising cookies as refusal of strictly necessary service communications such as:
Where applicable law requires consent before NiceNIC stores or accesses a non-essential cookie or similar technology, NiceNIC will provide an appropriate consent or preference mechanism.
Where such a mechanism is presented, users should be able to make choices concerning non-essential categories in accordance with applicable law.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
Strictly necessary technologies may continue to operate where they are required to provide the requested service or are otherwise permitted without consent by applicable law.
Most browsers allow users to:
Browser settings differ by browser and device.
Blocking all cookies may prevent login, shopping-cart, checkout, security, language, account, or other NiceNIC functions from operating correctly.
Privacy requirements may apply not only to conventional HTTP cookies but also to other technologies that store information on, or access information from, a user's device.
NiceNIC applies this Policy to comparable technologies where they perform a similar tracking, storage, preference, analytics, advertising, or security function.
Cookie duration varies according to purpose.
Some cookies are session cookies and expire when the browser session ends.
Other cookies are persistent cookies and remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier by the user, NiceNIC, or the relevant provider.
NiceNIC seeks to avoid retaining cookie-derived personal data longer than reasonably necessary for the applicable purpose, subject to security, fraud-prevention, accounting, legal, and other legitimate retention requirements described in the Privacy Policy.
The specific cookie names, providers, purposes, and durations used on the website may change when NiceNIC updates its security, analytics, support, payment, or marketing technologies.
Where NiceNIC operates a cookie-preference or consent-management tool, the current cookie-level information may be provided through that tool.
The cookies and similar technologies used by NiceNIC may change as the website, services, security controls, analytics, or marketing technologies change. Current cookie-level information may be made available through the applicable cookie-preference or consent-management tool.

Additional requirements may apply depending on the user's location and the technologies used.

Cookie and analytics information may be processed by NiceNIC or its service providers in countries outside the user's location.
Where cross-border data-transfer safeguards are required by applicable law, NiceNIC will use appropriate contractual, organizational, technical, consent-based, or other legally recognized measures.
NiceNIC may use device, session, IP-related, or browser information for security, authentication, abuse prevention, and fraud detection.
Security technologies may operate separately from optional marketing or analytics preferences where their use is necessary to protect NiceNIC accounts, transactions, networks, users, or services and is permitted by applicable law.
