Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies https://aurelle-vip.com uses, what each one does, and how to control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device. It lets the site remember things between page loads — such as what is in your shopping bag — and lets us understand how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels; where we say “cookies” below we mean all of them.
2. Cookies we use
Strictly necessary — always on
These make the shop work. They cannot be switched off and do not require consent.

|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors so we can count them | 13 months |
_ga_* |
Google Analytics | Maintains the analytics session state | 13 months |
We use analytics only in aggregate — to see which pages and products people look at and where the checkout loses people. We have IP anonymisation enabled and we do not use analytics data to identify you personally.
Marketing
We do not currently run third-party advertising or retargeting cookies. If that changes we will update this page and ask for your consent before setting them.
3. Your choices
When you first visit we show a banner with three options: Accept all, Reject non-essential, or Manage preferences. Nothing optional is set until you choose. Rejecting non-essential cookies does not restrict any part of the shop — you can browse, buy and return exactly the same way.
You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie preferences link in the footer of every page.
4. Controlling cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will break the shopping bag and checkout.
You can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by our payment providers when you reach checkout — this is required for fraud prevention and to complete the payment securely. Those cookies are governed by their own policies: Stripe Cookie Policy and PayPal Cookie Statement.
6. Do Not Track
There is no agreed industry standard for responding to browser Do Not Track signals, so we do not respond to them. Use the cookie banner or the footer link instead — those we honour.
7. Changes and contact
We review this policy whenever we add or remove a tool that sets cookies. Questions: [email protected].
