Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 29, 2026
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are used to make the site work, to remember preferences, and to collect statistics. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, local storage and tag management scripts; for simplicity we refer to them all as “cookies”.
2. Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary (always active)
Required for the site to function (security, load balancing, routing). No consent required under ePrivacy Art. 5(3).
Analytics & performance (consent required in EU/UK)
- Google Tag Manager — container that loads other tags. Provider: Google Ireland Ltd.
- Google Analytics 4 (
_ga,_ga_*) — pseudonymous measurement of visits and events. Retention: up to 14 months. Provider: Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC.
Marketing / Targeting
None active at this time. If we add advertising or social pixels (e.g., Meta, TikTok) we will update this page and request prior consent where required.
3. Third parties
When you click an outbound link to Amazon, Amazon may set its own cookies on its domain under its own privacy and cookie policies. The same applies to Facebook, Instagram and TikTok when you visit our profiles on those platforms.
4. Managing your consent
In the EU/UK, non-essential cookies are loaded only after you provide consent via our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your choices at any time by clearing site data in your browser or by emailing privacy@victoriadlaine.com. We also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a valid opt-out under U.S. state laws.
You can also block or delete cookies directly in your browser settings — see the help pages of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, or Brave.
5. Do Not Track / GPC
Browsers may send a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control header. We treat a GPC signal as a valid request to opt out of any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under U.S. state privacy laws.
6. Changes
We update this policy whenever we add or remove cookies. Check the “Last updated” date above.
