Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy provides a comprehensive explanation of what cookies and similar technologies are, how Shalmexxquablux ("we," "us," or "our") uses them on our website at shalmexxquablux.world, what types of cookies we use, how long they last, and what choices and controls you have. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By using our website, you consent to our use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this policy, except where your consent is required by law and you have not given it.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, to remember your preferences, and to give site owners useful information about how their site is used. Cookies are typically stored by your web browser and can be read by the website that set them or by other websites that are authorized to use them. Cookies can be "first-party" cookies, which are set by the website you are visiting (in this case, shalmexxquablux.world), or "third-party" cookies, which are set by a different domain, such as an analytics provider or an embedded content provider. Cookies can also be classified by how long they remain on your device: "session" cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser, while "persistent" or "permanent" cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.

Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixel tags, and similar identifiers. Local storage and session storage allow websites to store data on your device; session storage is cleared when you close the browser tab, while local storage may persist until you clear it. Pixel tags (also known as web beacons or clear GIFs) are small graphics that may be used in emails or on web pages to track whether content has been viewed or to collect certain usage data. These technologies may be used for the same or similar purposes as cookies and are collectively referred to in this policy as "cookies" or "similar technologies" where appropriate.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes: to enable essential website functionality, such as navigation, form submission, and secure access; to remember your preferences, including whether you have accepted our privacy or cookies notice so we do not show it again unnecessarily; to understand how visitors use our website (e.g., which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and how they found us) so we can improve our design, content, and the way we present our gift wrapping, handmade gift, and consulting services; to ensure the security and proper functioning of our site; and to comply with our legal and contractual obligations. We use these technologies only in connection with the operation and improvement of our website and our gift wrapping and consulting services. We do not use cookies to track you across unrelated websites for advertising purposes without your consent where required by law.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, using the contact form, or navigating between pages. Without these cookies, certain features of the site would not be available. These cookies generally do not store personally identifiable information in a way that is exposed to third parties.

Functional cookies. These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your choices (for example, language or region preferences) or providing features you have requested. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

Analytics and performance cookies. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect may be aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this information to improve our website and the way we present our gift wrapping and consulting services. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will have less data to help us improve the experience.

Marketing and advertising cookies. We do not currently use cookies for targeted advertising or to track you for marketing purposes on third-party sites. If we introduce marketing or advertising cookies in the future, we will update this policy and, where required by law, obtain your consent before placing such cookies on your device.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies and similar technologies are set by third-party services that appear on or are integrated into our pages. For example, we may use embedded content such as maps (e.g., Google Maps) to show our location, or we may use third-party fonts (e.g., Google Fonts) or other resources that set their own cookies or similar technologies. We do not control these third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookies policies. We recommend that you review the privacy and cookies policies of Google and any other third-party services that may set cookies when you visit our site. We use these third-party services only to improve the functionality, appearance, and content of our website. We do not share your personal information with these third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Cookie Duration

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, which may range from a few days to several years, depending on the purpose of the cookie. For example, a cookie that remembers that you have accepted our cookies notice may be set to last for one year so that we do not show the notice again on each visit. When the retention period expires, the cookie will be automatically deleted by your browser, or you may delete it manually at any time as described below.

Managing and Deleting Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically refuse or accept all cookies, accept only certain types of cookies, or delete existing cookies. The method for doing this varies by browser and device. You can usually find instructions in the "Help," "Settings," or "Preferences" section of your browser, or by searching for "cookies" in the browser's help or settings menu. Please note that if you block or delete cookies, some parts of our website may not function correctly. For example, we may not be able to remember that you have accepted our cookies or privacy notice, and you may see the notice again on your next visit; form data may not be retained; or certain features that rely on cookies may be unavailable. You can also use browser extensions or other tools to manage or block cookies; we are not responsible for the functionality of such third-party tools.

Do Not Track and Similar Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) or similar signal that indicates your preference not to be tracked across websites. There is currently no universal standard for how websites must respond to DNT signals. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals in a specific way, but we do not use cookies for cross-site tracking for advertising purposes. We respect your choices regarding cookies as described in this policy and in your browser settings.

Consent

Where required by applicable law (including in certain jurisdictions outside the United States), we will obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You can indicate your consent by clicking "Accept" on our cookies or privacy notice when it is displayed. You may withdraw your consent at any time by changing your browser settings to block or delete cookies, or by clearing your browser data, as described above. Withdrawing consent may affect your experience on our site, including the availability or performance of certain features. Essential cookies may still be used to the extent necessary for the website to function, as permitted by law.

Updates

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the technologies we use, legal or regulatory requirements, or the structure of our website. We will post the updated policy on this page and indicate the date of the last revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy, subject to any additional consent we may be required to obtain under applicable law for new or changed uses of cookies. If we make material changes that affect how we use cookies in a way that requires renewed consent, we may display the cookies or privacy notice again and seek your consent.
