This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on vipdesign.ae. In short: we set no tracking or advertising cookies of our own.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels. They can be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by another service the page loads).
2. Cookies we use
Strictly necessary
- Session storage (admin only) — when a member of our staff signs in to the inventory dashboard, a sign-in token is kept in the browser's session storage until the tab is closed. Visitors never receive this.
- Hosting security — our host, Netlify, may set short-lived cookies needed to deliver the Site securely and to protect its forms against spam.
Third-party (functional)
- Google Maps — the "Visit the showroom" map is an embedded Google Maps frame. When it loads, Google may set cookies and process your IP address under Google's privacy policy. The map loads only when you scroll to that section.
- Google Fonts — typefaces are fetched from Google's servers, which receive your IP address to serve the file. No cookie is set by this request.
Analytics and advertising
None. We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or any similar tool. If that changes we will update this policy and ask for your consent first where the law requires it.
3. Links to WhatsApp and Instagram
Buttons that open WhatsApp or Instagram take you to those services; nothing is loaded from them on our pages until you click. Their own cookie and privacy terms apply once you leave the Site.
4. Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings (Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge each have a "Privacy" section for this). Blocking third-party cookies will not affect the Site, except that the embedded map may not display.
