Cookies Policy

Last updated:

This Cookies Policy ("Policy") provides a comprehensive explanation of how Vorlixenvord ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on the website vorlixenvord.ddd. We provide curtain hanging, textile decor, and installation services in Auckland and the wider New Zealand region, with our principal place of business at 1/698 Great South Road, Penrose, Auckland 1061, New Zealand. By accessing or using our website, you consent to our use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this Policy, unless you have disabled or restricted them through your browser or device settings. This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use personal information more generally.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide information to the owners of the site, and to improve the user experience. A cookie typically contains the name of the server that sent it, an expiry date, and a unique identifier (often a randomly generated number). When you return to the website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognise your device and remember your preferences or actions (such as whether you have accepted the cookie notice, or items you may have viewed). Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us when you visit vorlixenvord.world) or "third-party" (set by a domain other than ours, for example by an embedded service such as Google Maps). They can also be "session" cookies (temporary; deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device until they expire or you delete them).

Other Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we or our service providers may use other technologies that serve similar functions. These can include local storage (such as HTML5 local storage or session storage), which allows data to be stored in your browser; web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear gifs), which are small graphics that may be embedded in web pages or emails to track whether content has been accessed; and similar identifiers used in mobile or other applications. Where we refer to "cookies" in this Policy, we may also be referring to these related technologies where the context applies. The same choices you make regarding cookies (for example, via your browser settings) may affect these technologies, though the exact controls can vary by technology and browser.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes: to enable the website to function correctly (for example, by remembering that you have accepted our cookie notice so we do not show it again unnecessarily); to remember your preferences and settings; to understand how visitors use our website (for example, which pages are most viewed and how long users spend on the site) so we can improve its content and usability; to maintain security and help prevent fraud; and to comply with our legal and contractual obligations. The specific types of cookies we use are described in more detail below.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary or Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, form submission (including our contact form), and the display of the cookie consent banner and your choice regarding non-essential cookies. Without these cookies, the website cannot be used as intended. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or submitting a form. Because they are necessary for the operation of the site, they generally cannot be disabled through our website; however, you can block all cookies through your browser settings if you choose, bearing in mind that doing so may prevent you from using certain features.

Preference or Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or region, or whether you have accepted cookies) and to provide enhanced, more personalised features. For example, we may use a cookie to remember that you have closed the cookie consent popup, so that we do not show it again on your next visit. Preference cookies improve your experience but are not strictly necessary for the website to work; you can block them, but some features may not function as intended.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited most often, whether users receive error messages, and how they navigate the site. The data collected is generally aggregated and anonymous; it helps us understand how our site is used and how we can improve it (for example, by making popular content easier to find or by fixing technical issues). We may use first-party or third-party analytics tools. If we use third-party analytics providers, they may set their own cookies and will have their own privacy policies governing how they use the data.

Marketing or Targeting Cookies

We do not currently use cookies for targeted advertising or marketing on third-party websites. If we introduce such cookies in the future, we will update this Policy and, where required by law, obtain your consent before placing them.

Third-Party Cookies

Our website may include content or features provided by third parties, such as Google Maps (for displaying our business location and enabling directions). When you interact with such content, the third party may set its own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies, and their use is governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookies policies. For example, Google's use of information collected when you use Google Maps is described in Google's Privacy Policy and related documentation. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services that appear on our site. Blocking third-party cookies may affect the functionality of embedded content (for example, the map may not display or function correctly).

Duration of Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (which can range from minutes to years) or until you manually delete them. The duration of each cookie depends on its purpose. For example, a cookie that remembers your cookie consent choice may be set to expire after 12 months so that we can ask for your preference again after a reasonable period. We will retain cookie data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law.

Managing and Deleting Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise this right through the cookie consent options we provide on the website (where available) and through your browser or device settings. Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings or preferences. The method for doing so varies by browser; typically, you can find cookie settings under "Options", "Preferences", "Privacy", or "Settings". You can usually choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete existing cookies. You can also use your browser's "private" or "incognito" mode to browse without storing certain cookies, though this may not prevent all cookies from being set. Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of our website and your user experience; for example, you may need to re-enter information or the cookie consent banner may appear again. For more detailed information on how to manage cookies in your specific browser, please visit your browser's help section or visit resources such as aboutcookies.org or allaboutcookies.org. If you use a mobile device, you may need to refer to your device manufacturer's instructions for managing cookies in the device's browser or in apps.

Do Not Track and Similar Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) or similar setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your activity not be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website does not currently alter its behaviour based on DNT signals, but we remain committed to transparency about our use of cookies and to honouring the choices you make through our cookie consent mechanism and your browser settings.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, in the technologies we use, or in legal or regulatory requirements. When we make material changes, we will post the updated Policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. Your continued use of the website after the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you should discontinue use of the website or adjust your cookie settings accordingly.
