Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Formalith Architectural Materials Sp. z o.o. uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies on our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Introduction
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage, serve comparable functions. Formalith uses these technologies to operate the site securely, remember your preferences, and—only with your consent—provide optional enhancements.
When you first visit Formalith, you can accept all optional cookies, allow only strictly necessary cookies, or manage your preferences by category. You can change your choices at any time using the cookie settings link on our site.
What cookies and local storage we use
Formalith uses both cookies (including secure, HttpOnly authentication cookies) and browser local storage depending on the feature. Some items are essential for the site to function; others are optional and require your consent.
We do not use advertising or targeting cookies on our site today. Optional categories are limited to performance and functional enhancements described below.
- customer_auth_token — authentication cookie for signed-in customers
- customer_session_token — session cookie supporting secure login state
- NEXT_LOCALE — stores your selected language (English, Polish, or Arabic)
- user-currency — stores your selected display currency (EUR, USD, or PLN)
- FORMALITH_COOKIE_CONSENT_V1 — records your cookie consent choices
- formalith-cart — local storage for guest and synced cart contents
- formalith-wishlist — local storage for wishlist items
- formalith:rq-cache — local cache for product data to improve page loading (performance, consent-based)
- formalith-search-history — local storage for recent searches (functional, consent-based)
- formalith-form-drafts — local storage for temporary form-field drafts (functional, consent-based)
Cookie categories
We group cookies and similar technologies into categories so you can understand their purpose and choose which optional categories to enable.
Strictly necessary technologies are always active because the site cannot function securely without them. Optional categories require your consent before we activate the related storage or processing.
- Strictly necessary — required for security, authentication, language, currency, and consent management
- Performance — helps us improve speed and reliability through cached product data
- Functional — remembers optional choices such as search history and form drafts
- Targeting — not used on Formalith today; reserved for future opt-in features if we introduce them
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies and storage items are essential for Formalith to operate. They cannot be disabled through our cookie settings because the site would not work correctly without them.
Authentication cookies (customer_auth_token and customer_session_token) keep you signed in securely and protect your account. Language (NEXT_LOCALE) and currency (user-currency) cookies remember your browsing preferences. The consent cookie (FORMALITH_COOKIE_CONSENT_V1) stores your cookie choices so we do not ask you on every visit.
Cart and wishlist storage (formalith-cart and formalith-wishlist) is necessary to maintain your shopping session, including for guest users.
Performance cookies
Performance technologies help Formalith load product information more efficiently by caching recently viewed data in your browser (formalith:rq-cache).
This category is optional. If you do not consent to performance cookies, product pages may load more slowly because cached data will not be stored locally.
We do not use third-party advertising analytics in this category today.
Functional cookies
Functional technologies improve convenience by remembering optional choices you make while browsing.
If you consent, Formalith may store recent product search terms locally (formalith-search-history) and temporary drafts of form fields (formalith-form-drafts) so you can resume contact, quote, or registration forms within a short period. Signed-in customers may also sync search history with their account when this feature is enabled.
Form drafts expire automatically after a short period of inactivity. You can withdraw consent at any time through cookie settings, which will stop further storage and clear related local data.
Targeting cookies
Targeting cookies are typically used to deliver personalised advertising or measure ad campaigns across websites. Formalith does not use targeting or advertising cookies today.
If we introduce targeting technologies in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy, request your opt-in consent before enabling them, and provide clear information about their purpose.
How to manage your preferences
You can manage cookie preferences at any time using the cookie settings control available on our website. From there, you can accept all cookies, allow only necessary cookies, or choose which optional categories to enable.
Withdrawing consent for optional categories will stop related storage and remove associated local data where technically possible. Strictly necessary cookies will remain active.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. Note that blocking necessary cookies may prevent you from signing in, maintaining a cart, or using core site features.
For questions about cookies or to exercise privacy rights related to data collected through cookies, contact us at contact@formalith.com.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add features, change technologies, or update legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
If we introduce new optional cookie categories or materially change how we use cookies, we will request your consent again where required by law.
