1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser, so that it can recognise the same browser on the next page or the next visit. Similar technologies — such as your browser’s local storage, or a script loaded from another company — work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them too. “We” means Digital Dunia LLC, which operates delavaga.com.
2. The short version
- Strictly necessary — your bag, your sign-in, basic security. Always on, because the shop cannot work without them.
- Google Customer Reviews — our seller rating badge and a post-purchase survey invitation. Off until you allow it.
- Analytics and advertising — none.
When you first visit, a banner asks for your choice, with “Accept all” and “Necessary only” given equal weight. You can change your mind at any time with the Your privacy choices button at the foot of every page.
3. Strictly necessary
These make features you ask for work. The law does not require consent for them, and they cannot be switched off in our settings — but you can block them in your browser (see section 6).
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
dv_cart | delavaga.com | Remembers which bag is yours. Holds a random token pointing at a bag stored on our server; the items and prices are never in your browser. | 30 days |
dv_session | delavaga.com | Keeps you signed in, set only if you sign in. Holds a random token; we store only a one-way hash of it. | 60 days, or when you sign out |
ghost-members-ssr, ghost-members-ssr.sig | delavaga.com/blog | Keeps you signed in to the journal’s newsletter member area, set only if you sign in there. | Up to 6 months |
__cf_bm | Cloudflare, on www.delavaga.com | May be set by our network provider to distinguish people from automated traffic. Carries no identity. | 30 minutes |
dv-consent | delavaga.com (local storage) | Remembers your cookie choice, so you are not asked on every page. | Until you clear site data |
Our own cookies are all httpOnly — scripts on the page cannot read them — sent only over encrypted connections, and restricted to this site. They carry random tokens, not information about you.
4. Google Customer Reviews (optional)
Google Customer Reviews lets buyers rate their purchase and shows our rating. It loads code from Google, which may read or set Google’s own cookies in your browser under Google’s cookie policy and privacy policy. None of it loads unless you switch this category on.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
Seller rating badge (merchantwidget.js) | Google (gstatic.com, google.com) | Shows our Google seller rating in the corner of the page. | Per Google’s policy |
Survey opt-in (platform.js) | Google (apis.google.com) | On the order confirmation page, asks in Google’s own window whether Google may email you a short survey about your order. Nothing is sent to Google about you unless you say yes there. | Per Google’s policy |
dv_optin | delavaga.com | Carries your email and delivery country from checkout to the confirmation page, for that invitation only. Signed so it cannot be forged, and deleted as soon as it is used. | 2 hours |
If you allow this category and later withdraw it, the page reloads so that Google’s code stops running immediately. Cookies Google has already set on its own domains can be removed in your browser settings.
5. What we do not use
No analytics cookies. No advertising or retargeting cookies. No social media tracking pixels. No cross-site tracking, fingerprinting or session recording. We do not sell or share information about your browsing with anyone. Our fonts are hosted on our own server rather than loaded from a font service, so viewing the site does not send your IP address to a third party for that either.
If we ever add a tool that uses cookies for analytics or marketing, it will be listed here and in the settings panel before it goes live, and it will stay off until you switch it on.
6. Your choices
On this site: select Your privacy choices at the foot of any page to review or change your choice. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.
In your browser: every browser lets you view, delete and block cookies — look under Settings → Privacy in Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge. Blocking the strictly necessary cookies does not stop you browsing, but your bag will empty between pages and sign-in will not hold, because without them there is no way to tell your bag from someone else’s.
7. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We do not track you across websites, so there is nothing for a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal to switch off. Optional features stay off until you enable them, whether or not your browser sends one.
8. Changes
When this policy changes we update the date at the top. If the change adds a cookie that needs your consent, we ask you again rather than assuming your earlier answer covers it.
