Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Herchicvibe ("we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at herchicvibe.shop. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

In the world of high-end jewelry, attention to detail is everything. We apply that same philosophy to your digital experience. By using our website, you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your device and access them when you visit the site in the future.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

First-party cookies: These are cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Herchicvibe).
Third-party cookies: These are set by parties other than the website owner. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Service to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Service. Third parties serve cookies through our Service for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

At herchicvibe.shop, we categorize cookies into the following groups:

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website to you, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our website functions.

Example: Remembering the items in your jewelry shopping cart as you navigate to different pages.

B. Performance and Functionality Cookies

These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our website but are non-essential to its use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos) may become unavailable.

Example: Remembering your login details or language preferences.

C. Analytics and Customization Cookies

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our website for you.

Example: Tracking which jewelry collection is the most popular this month so we can curate more similar styles.

D. Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

4. How Can You Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

Browser Controls:

You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

5. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other, similar technologies, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Service or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns.
