Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Anna Patel ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the website located at deltavaloria.shop (the "Site"). By continuing to use the Site, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with this policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and basic site features. Without these cookies, certain services on the Site cannot be provided. We use essential cookies to remember your preferences within a session and to ensure smooth navigation between pages like the main journal, individual explorations, and the contact form.

Examples: Session identifiers, form submission tokens (handled via localStorage for demo purposes), mobile menu state.

Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a post. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

We do not currently use third-party analytics cookies or tracking pixels on this Site. All interactions, including contact form submissions and newsletter sign-ups, are handled locally using browser storage (localStorage) for demonstration purposes only. No data is sent to external servers or third-party analytics platforms. This approach aligns with our commitment to minimal data collection and maximum transparency.

Targeting or Advertising Cookies

This Site does not use targeting, advertising, or retargeting cookies. We do not participate in behavioral advertising networks, nor do we share cookie data with advertisers. The Site is designed as a calm, ad-light space for reflection and exploration.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• To enable basic site functionality and navigation
• To remember form inputs temporarily during your session
• To improve the overall user experience by remembering display preferences
• To analyze how visitors interact with the content in an aggregated, anonymous manner (if analytics are enabled in future updates)

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have the right to accept or reject cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. However, disabling essential cookies may prevent you from using certain features of the Site, such as submitting the contact form or accessing saved preferences.

To manage cookies in your browser:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Please note that because this Site uses minimal essential cookies and relies primarily on localStorage for interactive elements (contact submissions and newsletter leads), clearing your browser cache or local storage will remove any locally saved demonstration data.

5. Third-Party Cookies

We do not set third-party cookies on this Site. The Tailwind CSS framework is loaded via a content delivery network for styling purposes only and does not set persistent tracking cookies. No social media plugins, embedded videos, or external widgets that set cookies are present.

6. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
