Cookies can perform different functions. Some are required for core website operations, while others help remember preferences, measure website performance, understand visitor behavior, or support additional functionality.

The term "cookies" in this policy may also refer to similar technologies that perform comparable functions, including certain browser storage technologies, pixels, tags, identifiers, and other electronic technologies.

Depending on the features available on the website, preference-related information may include certain interface settings, browser-related preferences, or other choices that help maintain a consistent experience.

These technologies may help the website remember information associated with your interaction, maintain selected options, or support enhanced features made available through the online store.

7. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies may be used to help us understand how visitors interact with the Velanapparel website. This can include information such as the pages visited, approximate visit duration, navigation paths, traffic sources, interactions with website elements, and general performance information.

Analytics information may be processed in aggregated or otherwise technical form depending on the particular service and configuration.

9. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies or similar technologies may be placed or operated by third-party service providers that support features used on our website. These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and applicable terms.

10. Cookies and Personal Information

Not every cookie identifies an individual directly. Some cookies are associated primarily with a browser, device, session, or technical identifier.

In certain circumstances, cookie-related information may be combined with other information that we or our service providers have available. When this occurs, such information may be handled as personal information where required by applicable law.

Our Privacy Policy explains more generally how Velanapparel may collect, use, share, protect, and retain personal information.

11. How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

Cookies can generally be categorized as either session cookies or persistent cookies.

Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are generally removed when you close your browser or when the relevant browsing session ends.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until they are deleted. Their duration depends on how the particular cookie was configured by the website or service provider.

The retention period for a specific cookie may therefore vary depending on its purpose, provider, browser settings, and technical configuration.

12. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most modern web browsers provide controls that allow users to manage cookies. Depending on the browser, you may be able to view, delete, block, or restrict cookies through the browser's privacy or security settings.

Browser controls can provide useful choices, but disabling cookies may affect the way certain websites operate. In particular, restricting essential cookies may interfere with functions such as shopping, account access, checkout, or session management.

13. Mobile Devices

When you access Velanapparel through a mobile device, similar technologies may be used depending on the browser, operating system, and website configuration.

Mobile browsers may provide their own privacy and cookie-management controls. The available settings can differ from those found on desktop browsers.

14. Do Not Track and Browser Signals

Some browsers and devices may provide privacy-related signals or settings, including options commonly associated with tracking preferences.

The technical meaning and implementation of these signals can vary between browsers, devices, and services. Velanapparel may not respond to every browser signal in the same manner, particularly where a signal does not provide a technically standardized or legally required mechanism.

15. Cookies Used During Shopping

Because Velanapparel operates an online store, certain technologies may be important for shopping functionality. Depending on the website configuration, these technologies can help maintain information about products added to a shopping cart, preserve a browsing session, support checkout steps, or maintain security during an online transaction.

Blocking these technologies may prevent some shopping-related functions from operating normally.

16. Cookies and Payment Processing

Velanapparel currently accepts PayPal as its available online payment method. PayPal or related payment technology may use cookies or similar mechanisms in connection with authentication, transaction processing, fraud prevention, or security.

Information processed directly by PayPal is subject to PayPal's own privacy practices and applicable terms. Velanapparel does not control the independent cookie practices of third-party payment providers.

17. Cookies and Website Performance

Cookies and similar technologies can help us understand whether particular website features operate correctly and whether visitors encounter technical or usability problems.

Performance-related information may help us evaluate loading behavior, navigation patterns, page functionality, and general website reliability. This information can support improvements to the structure and performance of Velanapparel.

18. Cookies and Website Security

Maintaining a secure website is an important part of protecting customers and maintaining reliable online services. Certain cookies or identifiers may help distinguish legitimate activity from suspicious or automated behavior.

Security-related technologies may be used to support authentication, session controls, fraud prevention, abuse detection, and other security measures.

19. Your Choices

Depending on the browser, device, and technology involved, you may have several options for controlling cookies.

Please note that disabling or restricting certain cookies may affect website functionality and may prevent some features from working as intended.

20. Changes to Cookie Technologies

The technologies used by websites can change over time. Velanapparel may add, remove, replace, or modify cookies and similar technologies as our website, service providers, security measures, analytics tools, or business requirements change.

As a result, the exact cookies active on the website at a particular time may differ from the general categories described in this policy.

We may also update this Cookie Policy when necessary to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or the services available through our website.

21. Relationship to Our Privacy Policy

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how Velanapparel may collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information.

The Privacy Policy also explains how information obtained through website interactions may be handled and describes certain rights or choices that may apply depending on your location and applicable law.

22. Third-Party Privacy Practices

Where third-party technologies are used on the Velanapparel website, the relevant third party may independently determine how certain information is collected and processed.
