This Cookie Policy explains how plainvelvetribbon (referred to herein as “we”, “us”, or “our”), operating under commercial registration number FZCO-84291 at Office 402, Building A1, Digital Park, Silicon Oasis, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, uses cookies and comparable tracking identifiers when you visit plainvelvetribbon.com (the “Site”).
Our usage of these identifiers is structured to comply with the Federal Laws of the United Arab Emirates, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) within Europe, and statutory privacy mandates applicable within the United States.
1. Operational Framework and User Consent
We deploy a structured Cookie Consent Banner across our Site to ensure visitors maintain comprehensive authority over their data.
• Default Status: All non-essential cookies are completely deactivated by default when you access the Site.
• User-Driven Choice: Non-essential cookies are only initialized after a visitor explicitly engages with our tracking banner and selects the “Accept” option, granting formal affirmative consent. You maintain the absolute freedom to decline non-essential cookies, which will not impede your ability to browse our single-colour ribbon products.
2. Classification and Retention of Cookies
The identifiers utilized on our Site are divided into distinct categories based on their operational necessity and are subject to strictly defined retention limits:
A. Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These identifiers are mandatory to enable basic features, such as site navigation, secure checkout functionality, and the accurate preservation of items added to your basket.
• Retention Duration: These cookies are temporary session identifiers and are systematically erased from your device the moment you close your web browser session.
B. Analytical and Operational Cookies (Non-Essential)
These elements assist us in monitoring general traffic patterns and understanding aggregate visitor interactions on our Site. This information helps us refine the administrative operation of our online store.
• Retention Duration: These identifiers remain active on your terminal for a maximum duration of twelve (12) months from the date of consent, unless manually deleted via your browser settings prior to expiry.
3. Third-Party Cookies (Financial Infrastructure)
To facilitate functional checkout processing and fulfill standard risk assessments, specific third-party components are integrated into our Site.
• Stripe Integration: Third-party cookies on our checkout interfaces are deployed and managed directly by our payment infrastructure provider, Stripe.
• Purpose: These operational identifiers are necessary to recognize fraud risks, evaluate transactional legitimacy, and confirm that financial processing is executed reliably. Stripe manages this data in conformity with international financial regulations and their own independent privacy frameworks.
• Retention Duration: Third-party operational and fraud mitigation cookies managed by Stripe possess variable expiration timelines, extending from the duration of a single transactional session up to a maximum duration of twenty-four (24) months for historical fraud prevention purposes.
4. Management and Revocation of Consent
In addition to the selective controls provided via our Site’s consent banner, you can modify or revoke your cookie choices at any time through your local web browser configurations. You may instruct your browser to block, refuse, or erase existing cookies. Please be advised that disabling essential cookies may impact specific functional interfaces during the checkout sequence.
