This Cookie Policy explains how Gavilanez Group ("Gavilani", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on www.gavilani.com (the "Site"), and works together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember information about your visit, which can make it easier to use the site and more useful to you.
2. Essential cookies (always on)
These cookies are required for the Site to work — for example, keeping items in your cart, remembering your language and currency, keeping you signed in to your account, and protecting against fraud during checkout. Because they're necessary for the Site to function, they cannot be switched off and don't require your consent. They're set by Shopify, the platform that powers our store.
3. Analytics cookies (require your consent in the EU, EEA and UK)
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the Site — which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and how they found us — so we can improve the shopping experience. These cookies (including _ga and _ga_<container-id>, each active for up to 2 years on your device) are set by Google and only load after you've accepted analytics cookies in our consent banner, which is required before they load for visitors in the European Union, European Economic Area and United Kingdom.
4. What Google Analytics collects and how long we keep it
Google Analytics 4 collects information such as pages viewed, time on page, approximate location (derived from your IP address, without storing your full IP address), device and browser type, and how you arrived at the Site. This data is processed by Google LLC and may be transferred to and stored in the United States, subject to the safeguards required under applicable data protection law (including, where applicable, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework). We currently retain this data for 14 months, Google's standard retention period for this type of property, after which it is automatically deleted. You can read more in Google's Privacy Policy.
5. Cookies we don't currently use
We do not currently use advertising or remarketing cookies (such as Google Ads or Meta/Facebook Pixel). If that changes, we'll update this policy and our consent banner before any such cookies are set.
6. Managing your cookie preferences
When you first visit the Site, a banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can also opt out of Google Analytics specifically using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or block or delete cookies at any time through your browser's settings — note that blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the Site (such as checkout) from working properly.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and tools we use. Check this page periodically for updates.
