This Cookies Policy explains how Zora Jewels Fine Jewelry Inc. ("Zora Jewels," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit zorajewels.site (the "Site"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect personal information more broadly.
By continuing to use the Site after viewing our cookie notice or adjusting your browser settings, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy, except where consent is withdrawn or where cookies are strictly necessary for Site operation.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, remember preferences, and provide information to site owners. Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining until they expire or you delete them).
Similar technologies include web beacons (pixel tags), local storage, and software development kits embedded in mobile applications. References to "cookies" in this policy include these comparable technologies where applicable.
Cookie Types
We categorize cookies used on the Site as follows:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They enable core features such as secure checkout, shopping cart persistence, session management, load balancing, and fraud prevention. Without these cookies, services you request — such as adding a ring to your cart or completing an order — cannot be provided.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make, such as dark mode preference, wishlist contents stored locally, and language or region settings where available. They enhance your experience but are not strictly required for basic Site operation.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting aggregated, often anonymized information about pages viewed, time spent, navigation paths, search queries within our collection, and conversion events such as completed purchases or commission inquiries. We use this data to improve Site performance, product presentation, and user experience.
Marketing Cookies
Where enabled and subject to your consent where required by law, marketing cookies may track your browsing activity across the Site and partner platforms to deliver relevant advertisements for Zora Jewels collections or retarget visitors who viewed specific pieces. You may opt out of targeted advertising through browser settings or industry opt-out tools described below.

Managing Cookies
You have several options to control or limit cookies:
Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through settings menus. Instructions vary by browser — consult your browser's help documentation for details. Blocking all cookies may prevent you from using cart, checkout, and preference features on the Site.
Opt-Out Tools
For interest-based advertising, you may use industry opt-out tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance's WebChoices tool (available at www.aboutads.info/choices) or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page. These tools may not eliminate all advertising cookies but can reduce targeted ads across participating networks.
Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals. There is no uniform industry standard for responding to DNT signals. Currently, the Site does not alter its practices solely in response to DNT signals, but you may use the cookie management options described above.
Local Storage and Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to persist cart items, wishlist selections, theme preferences, and coupon states between visits. Local storage data remains on your device until you clear browser data or remove items manually. This data is not transmitted to our servers except when you proceed to checkout or submit an inquiry that includes cart contents.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates the most recent revision. Material changes will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
