Cookie Policy

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 online service providers to facilitate and help make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Elite Vase Studio Ltd) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., secure payment processing, analytics, and interactive chat).

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are strictly necessary for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our store.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are vital for our website to function securely. They allow you to add ceramic pieces to your cart, navigate securely to the checkout, and process your payment safely. Without these cookies, our online store cannot provide the services you request.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our website—for instance, which pages you visit most often, and if you encounter any error messages. This data is aggregated and anonymous. It is used solely to improve how our website works.
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred shipping destination—UK or USA) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
• Targeting / Advertising Cookies: We may use these cookies to deliver content and advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of our campaigns.

4. How Can I Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. 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 (like the shopping cart and checkout) may be severely 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.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
