Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 9, 2025
Yada Gifts LLC ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owners. We may also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixel tags, or SDKs in our apps or emails. In this policy, we use "cookies" to refer to cookies and these similar technologies where relevant.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Keep you signed in – So you don’t have to log in every time you visit or move between pages.
- Remember your choices – Such as language, region, or other preferences you set.
- Keep your cart and wishlist – So items you add are remembered during your visit (and sometimes across visits, if we use persistent cookies for this).
- Understand how our site is used – To improve our website, products, and services (e.g., which pages are popular, how people find us).
- Security and fraud prevention – To help protect our site and users from abuse.
- Marketing (where applicable) – To deliver relevant ads or measure the effectiveness of campaigns, only where we have your consent or where permitted by law.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential cookies
These are necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as signing in, secure checkout, and loading the site correctly. You cannot turn these off through our site; if you block them in your browser, some parts of the site may not work.
Functional cookies
These remember your preferences (e.g., language, currency) and choices you make to give you a more personalized experience. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use.
Analytics and performance cookies
These help us understand how visitors use our site (e.g., pages viewed, time on site, how they arrived). The data is usually aggregated and anonymized. We use this information to improve our website and services.
Marketing cookies
These may be used to show you relevant ads on our site or on other websites, or to measure the effectiveness of our marketing. They are only placed with your consent where required by law (e.g., in the EEA/UK). You can withdraw consent at any time through our cookie preferences or your browser settings.
4. How Long Do Cookies Last?
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (e.g., days, months, or until you delete them) and are used to remember you across visits. The exact duration depends on the type of cookie and its purpose; we (and any third parties we use) set retention periods in line with data protection requirements and best practices.
5. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may allow trusted third parties to set cookies on our site. For example, we may use analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) or payment and security services that use cookies. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control their cookies; we recommend reviewing their policies and using the options they provide to manage or opt out where available.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Cookie banner or settings – When we offer a cookie preference center, you can choose which categories of non-essential cookies to allow (e.g., analytics, marketing). Essential cookies cannot be disabled if you want the site to work fully.
- Browser settings – Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. You can usually find these options under "Privacy," "Settings," or "Preferences." Blocking all cookies may affect how our site works (e.g., you may not stay signed in or your cart may not be saved).
- Opt-out tools – For certain advertising cookies, you can use industry opt-out tools (e.g., Your Ad Choices in the US, or similar tools in your region) in addition to our and the third party’s settings.
7. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers or extensions send "Do Not Track" (DNT) or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. There is no universal standard for how sites must respond. We consider your choices made through our cookie preference center and your browser settings. Where required by law (e.g., in certain US states or the EEA), we will treat opt-out or GPC signals in accordance with applicable regulations.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. We will post the revised version on this page and update the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Where required by law, we may ask for your consent again to certain cookies after a material change.
