Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Alfacash UAB, operating under the trade name “Sheepy” (“Sheepy”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you access or interact with the website https://www.sheepy.com (the “Website”). This Policy is an integral part of Sheepy’s Privacy Policy and aims to provide clear, comprehensive information about how cookies function, what purposes they serve, and how you may manage your preferences.

2. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They allow the origin website to recognize your browser on subsequent visits and serve a variety of functions, such as storing preferences, maintaining session integrity, measuring audience engagement, and delivering personalized content. Some cookies are temporary and expire after you close your browser, while others remain for a predetermined period or until you delete them.

To comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and similar legal frameworks, Sheepy may implement a consent management platform to log, store, and audit your cookie preferences. These logs are securely retained and may be disclosed to supervisory authorities where legally required. Users may access and update their consent settings through a persistent interface or cookie settings link on the Website.

3. How Sheepy uses cookies

The use of cookies that are not strictly necessary for the functioning of the Website is based on your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Where cookies are essential to fulfill contractual obligations or for legitimate interest in ensuring the security and usability of the Services, they may be used without prior consent under Article 6(1)(b) and (f) respectively. Sheepy ensures that no cookies requiring consent are placed on your device until such consent is given and that consent preferences are stored in a verifiable and revocable manner.

Sheepy uses cookies and comparable technologies for essential, functional, analytical, and marketing purposes. Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the Website’s operation and cannot be disabled without compromising access. These include session cookies that support login flows, secure navigation, and transaction processing. Such cookies are removed automatically when your browser session ends.

Functional cookies allow Sheepy to remember your preferences, such as interface settings, language selection, and user-specific configurations. These technologies enhance your experience by restoring previously selected options on repeat visits.

Analytical and performance cookies help Sheepy understand how users engage with the Website. These technologies monitor user paths, identify pages with high or low engagement, detect load times or errors, and provide aggregated data to improve Website reliability, structure, and responsiveness. These insights may be collected through trusted analytics services operating under data processing agreements.

For transparency, Sheepy distinguishes between categories of cookies such as essential cookies for system operations, preference cookies for user customization, statistical cookies for aggregated analytics, and marketing cookies for behavioral advertising. Each category is mapped to a legitimate purpose as defined under GDPR, and your consent is obtained separately for each where required.

If permitted by applicable law and subject to your consent, Sheepy and its marketing partners may use targeting cookies and ad pixels to deliver customized offers, track campaign effectiveness, retarget users across websites, and measure marketing conversion rates. These technologies may gather behavioral signals and associate them with advertising profiles, which may be shared with external partners contractually bound to maintain data protection standards.

4. Your choices and control

Most browsers are configured to accept cookies by default, but you may change these settings to reject or delete cookies. Please note that certain Website features may become inaccessible or function improperly if essential cookies are disabled.

If you access the Website from the European Union or another jurisdiction with comparable data protection obligations, a cookie banner will appear on your first visit. Only cookies that are strictly necessary for technical functionality will be set automatically. All other cookies require affirmative consent before activation. You may revisit your preferences at any time by adjusting your browser settings or deleting cookies and returning to the Website.

Rejecting targeting or advertising cookies does not eliminate ads entirely, but it may reduce the personalization or relevance of ads displayed.

Your cookie preferences are stored for a defined duration not exceeding thirteen (13) months, after which Sheepy will prompt you to reconfirm or update your consent. Sheepy provides users with a mechanism to change or withdraw cookie consent at any time by revisiting the cookie settings available on the Website. Any withdrawal of consent will apply only going forward and will not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.

5. Third-party cookies and technologies

Sheepy may rely on third-party service providers for analytics, security, marketing, or user experience optimization. These providers may use cookies or similar mechanisms in accordance with their own privacy policies. Sheepy does not control the technologies used by these providers but ensures that appropriate contractual safeguards, such as data protection agreements, are in place. Users are encouraged to review third-party privacy notices before engaging with embedded features.

Embedded media and interactive tools, such as video players, social media widgets, or maps, may result in the placement of third-party cookies. When you interact with such elements, external providers (such as YouTube, Google Maps, X, or LinkedIn) may track your activity according to their own policies. Sheepy disclaims responsibility for third-party tracking conducted outside its control.

In certain limited contexts, Sheepy may employ device fingerprinting or similar passive tracking mechanisms to identify the technical characteristics of a user’s device. This technique helps mitigate fraud risks, maintain security, and enforce platform policies. Data collected through these methods is treated as personal data and handled with the same protective safeguards as other tracking identifiers.

If you log into the Services across multiple devices or browsers, Sheepy may associate these sessions based on account credentials or cryptographic identifiers. This enables consistent functionality, threat detection, and user experience. If you wish to opt out of cross-device tracking, you may log out of all sessions or request device separation via customer support.

Although the Do Not Track browser setting and Global Privacy Control signal are not yet legally binding under all jurisdictions, Sheepy respects such signals where legally required. If you enable DNT or GPC, Sheepy will interpret that as a preference to restrict non-essential cookie usage, unless overridden by explicit consent given through the cookie banner. Sheepy is actively monitoring regulatory developments regarding mandatory recognition of browser-based opt-out signals.

6. Changes to this Cookie Policy

Sheepy may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal obligations, technologies used, or service improvements. The date of the most recent update is indicated at the top of the Policy. Users are encouraged to review this page regularly. If material changes are made that affect your rights or require new consent, Sheepy will notify you clearly via the Website or other appropriate means.
