Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

Ilvianilaurel (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to providing a transparent and reliable online shopping experience. This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit or interact with our website.

Cookies and related technologies may help us operate our online store, maintain shopping cart functionality, protect transactions, remember your preferences, understand website performance, and measure marketing activities where applicable.

This policy describes the purposes for which these technologies may be used, the choices available to you, and how you can manage your preferences. The specific technologies used may depend on our website configuration, Shopify services, installed applications, and third-party integrations.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy. We aim to ensure that our privacy disclosures reflect our actual data practices and that applicable privacy choices are respected.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may store in your browser or on your device when you visit a website. They can help the website recognize a browser, maintain a session, remember selected settings, and support certain online shopping functions.

We may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, software development tools, browser storage, and server-side tracking technologies, where enabled and applicable. These technologies may perform functions similar to cookies, even when they do not store a conventional cookie file on your device.

Depending on the technology and your interaction with our website, information collected may include browser type, device characteristics, approximate location derived from technical information, IP address, cookie identifiers, pages viewed, referring website, browsing activity, session information, and interactions with website content.

Some information may be associated with other information that identifies or could reasonably be linked to you. Where applicable, we treat such information as personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

3. Categories of Cookies We May Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies and similar technologies support essential website operations and security. They may be used to maintain shopping cart contents, support checkout sessions, remember essential transaction information, maintain security controls, detect suspicious activity, and help prevent fraudulent transactions.

I. Essential Operations. These technologies may be necessary to provide the shopping functions you request and to maintain the continuity of your shopping session.

II. Security and Fraud Prevention. They may help identify unusual activity, protect website functionality, and support the security of transactions.

III. Availability and Limitations. Disabling essential technologies may affect shopping cart functionality, checkout, account access, or other core website features. Where legally permitted, these technologies may operate without consent when they are strictly necessary for the service you request.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies and similar technologies may allow our website to remember selected preferences and provide a more consistent browsing experience.

I. Preference Management. These technologies may remember settings such as selected website preferences or other choices supported by the website.

II. User Convenience. They may reduce the need to re-enter certain information or repeat selections when returning to the website.

III. Availability. The functions available depend on our website configuration and the services enabled. If you decline these technologies where a choice is available, some optional features may not work as intended.

3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics and performance technologies may help us understand how visitors interact with our website and identify opportunities to improve usability, reliability, and performance.

I. Website Usage. Depending on the tools enabled, we may measure page views, navigation patterns, session activity, referral sources, and interactions with website features.

II. Technical Performance. These technologies may help identify loading problems, errors, and other technical issues that affect the shopping experience.

III. Service Improvement. We may use aggregated or otherwise appropriately processed information to assess website performance and improve our online store.

Where required by applicable law or our configured consent settings, non-essential analytics technologies will be activated only after the necessary permission has been obtained. We will not represent analytics tools as active unless they are actually implemented.

3.4 Advertising and Marketing Measurement Technologies

Advertising and marketing measurement technologies may be used, where enabled, to understand advertising performance, measure visits or conversions associated with marketing campaigns, and assess interactions with promotional content.

I. Campaign Measurement. These technologies may help determine whether visitors interact with our website after viewing an advertisement.

II. Advertising Relevance. Depending on the provider, configuration, and applicable permissions, certain technologies may support advertising personalization or the measurement of activity across different websites or services.

III. Privacy Choices. Some advertising-related processing may constitute targeted advertising, sharing, or other regulated processing under applicable privacy laws. Where required, we will provide appropriate consent mechanisms or opt-out choices and honor applicable privacy preference signals.

4. How We Use Information Collected Through Cookies

Information obtained through cookies and similar technologies may be used for the following purposes, as applicable to our website and services.

I. Store Operations. To maintain shopping cart contents, support checkout, remember essential session information, and provide requested website functions.

II. Website Security. To help detect fraudulent activity, investigate technical issues, maintain service integrity, and protect our online store.

III. Preferences and Usability. To remember applicable settings and improve the consistency of the browsing experience.

IV. Analytics and Optimization. To evaluate website traffic, understand how visitors use our pages, measure performance, and improve website functionality.

V. Marketing Measurement. To measure advertising results and evaluate marketing activities where the relevant tools are enabled and their use is permitted.

VI. Privacy Administration. To record or apply cookie preferences, process privacy choices, and maintain information reasonably necessary to demonstrate or administer compliance.

We do not intend to use cookies to collect payment card security codes. Payment information is handled through the applicable checkout and payment processing arrangements, as described in our Privacy Policy and Payment Policy.

5. Shopify Services and Third-Party Technologies

Our online store is operated using Shopify. Shopify and the applications, integrations, and service providers used in connection with our website may process information through cookies and similar technologies to provide their respective services.

The technologies involved may vary according to the features we enable, the applications we install, the services used to process payments, and the analytics or advertising integrations configured for our store.

I. Shopify Technologies. Shopify may use cookies, pixels, and related technologies to support storefront functionality, checkout, security, analytics, and other services made available through its platform.

II. Third-Party Providers. Where enabled, service providers may process information to provide analytics, advertising measurement, customer support, fraud prevention, or other website-related services.

III. Provider Practices. Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy policies and contractual arrangements. Their processing practices, retention periods, and privacy controls may differ from ours.

IV. Limited Disclosure. We do not claim that every possible third-party technology is used on our website. The actual providers and purposes depend on our current configuration and integrations.

For information about how personal information is collected, disclosed, and processed through our store and its service providers, please review our Privacy Policy.

6. Cookie Consent and Preference Management

We provide or will configure appropriate mechanisms for managing cookies and similar technologies according to the requirements applicable to our website and the regions in which we operate.

Available controls may allow you to accept, reject, or manage non-essential categories of cookies. The choices presented depend on the consent management tools and regional settings configured for our website.

I. Consent Where Required. Where applicable law or our configured consent requirements call for prior permission, non-essential technologies must not be activated before the required consent is obtained.

II. Changing Preferences. Where preference controls are available, you may revisit them to change or withdraw your selections. Changes may affect future data collection but may not automatically erase information collected before the change.

III. Essential Technologies. Technologies that are strictly necessary to provide a service you request may be treated differently from optional analytics, functional, or advertising technologies, subject to applicable law.

IV. Third-Party Integrations. A cookie banner alone may not control every third-party script, application, pixel, or server-side integration. We will take appropriate steps to configure applicable technologies to respect relevant consent and privacy choices.

V. Browser Controls. You may also use your browser settings to block, restrict, or delete cookies. Browser controls may not provide the same level of control as a website preference tool and may not govern all similar technologies.

Refusing non-essential cookies does not necessarily prevent you from browsing or purchasing from our website. However, disabling certain technologies may limit optional features or affect the information available for analytics and personalization.

7. U.S. Privacy Rights and Targeted Advertising Choices

Depending on your state of residence and the circumstances of our processing, applicable privacy laws may provide rights concerning personal information collected through cookies and similar technologies.

These rights may include the right to opt out of certain processing activities involving targeted advertising, the sale of personal information as defined by applicable law, or certain forms of profiling. The precise rights and exceptions depend on the applicable law and the nature of the processing.

I. Privacy Requests. You may submit a privacy-related request using the contact information provided in Section 11 of this policy. We may need to verify your request as permitted or required by applicable law.

II. Browser Privacy Signals. Where required by applicable law, we will process recognized universal opt-out mechanisms, including Global Privacy Control (GPC), in accordance with the requirements that apply to our business and the relevant processing activity.

III. Opt-Out Scope. An opt-out may apply to specified processing activities rather than every use of personal information. For example, opting out of targeted advertising does not necessarily disable essential cookies required for checkout or security.

IV. Available Website Controls. Where applicable, you may use the privacy controls or data-sharing opt-out features provided through our website to exercise available choices.

V. No Unverified Claims. We do not represent that a particular opt-out mechanism or privacy signal is fully implemented unless the relevant functionality has been configured and verified.

To learn more about your privacy rights and how we handle personal information, please review our Privacy Policy.

8. Cookie Retention and Data Security

Cookies may remain on your device for different periods depending on whether they are session-based or persistent. Session cookies generally expire when the relevant browsing session ends, while persistent cookies may remain until their expiration or removal.

The retention period for information collected through cookies and similar technologies depends on the technology, its purpose, the provider's configuration, and applicable operational or legal requirements.

I. Retention Limitation. We aim to retain cookie-related information only for as long as reasonably necessary for its disclosed purpose, subject to applicable legal obligations and legitimate operational requirements.

II. Browser Deletion. You may remove stored cookies through your browser settings. Deletion may reset saved preferences or require you to make your selections again.

III. Security Measures. We rely on appropriate technical and organizational measures, together with relevant service providers, to help protect information handled through our online store. No internet transmission, storage system, or security measure can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Deleting cookies from your device does not necessarily delete information already held by Shopify or another service provider. Requests concerning personal information are handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

9. Children's Privacy

Our website is intended for general consumer shopping and is not knowingly designed to collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

We do not knowingly use cookies or similar technologies to circumvent applicable children's privacy protections. If you believe that information has been collected from a child in circumstances that require action under applicable law, please contact us using the details in Section 11.

Our handling of children's personal information, where relevant, is subject to applicable legal requirements and the disclosures in our Privacy Policy.
