Cookie & Browser Storage Policy
This Policy explains how Velvet Wing Bakery uses cookies, local browser storage, and similar technologies on velvetwingsms.com.
Last updated: September 8, 2026What these technologies are
Cookies are small data files that a website or service can store through your browser. Local storage and session storage are related browser technologies that can retain information on your device without using a traditional cookie. Similar technologies may also be used by security, analytics, performance, authentication, or embedded third-party services.
Essential functionality
Some browser technologies may be necessary to operate core website functions, maintain security, support authentication or sessions, remember interface state, process requests reliably, and preserve customer choices during a visit. Blocking essential technologies can cause parts of the website to stop working correctly.
Shopping cart storage
The storefront currently uses browser local storage to keep cart contents available on your device. The storage key is velvet-wings-cart-v1. It can contain product identifiers, quantities, and selected modifier options. This allows your cart to remain available as you navigate the site or return later from the same browser. You can remove this information by clearing the cart through the storefront when available or by clearing site data in your browser.
Analytics and performance
We use analytics and performance measurement to understand aggregate traffic, page usage, reliability, and website performance. These tools may process information such as pages or routes visited, general browser and device characteristics, approximate country-level location, network or performance characteristics, Web Vitals, and event timestamps. We use this information to improve site quality and customer experience rather than for behavioral advertising.
Authentication and security technologies
Where sign-in, passkey, administrative, or security features are available, authentication systems may use browser capabilities, session mechanisms, credentials, or related storage required to verify access and protect accounts. Removing or blocking these technologies may sign you out or prevent secure features from functioning.
Third-party services
Connected services such as payment providers, communications services, social platforms, review providers, maps, embedded media, or other integrations may set or read their own cookies or similar technologies when their services are loaded or used. Those technologies are controlled by the applicable provider and are governed by that provider’s privacy and cookie practices.
Advertising and cross-site tracking
We do not intentionally describe the current storefront as using cookies for behavioral advertising or cross-site advertising profiling unless such a service is actually enabled. If the site later adds advertising or marketing technologies that materially change this practice, this Policy should be updated before or when those technologies are deployed.
How long information remains
Storage duration depends on the technology involved. Session technologies may expire when a session ends. Local storage can remain until it is cleared by the website, the user, or the browser. Third-party services determine the duration of their own cookies and similar storage under their policies.
Your browser controls
Most browsers let you review, block, delete, or limit cookies and other site data. Mobile operating systems and browsers may provide additional privacy controls. Blocking all storage can affect cart persistence, sign-in, security, preferences, checkout, or other website functions.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals are not implemented consistently across all browsers and services. Where a signal creates an applicable legal obligation or is supported by a provider we use, we will honor it as required. You may also use your browser’s cookie and site-data controls directly.
Relationship to our Privacy Policy
Our Privacy Policy explains the broader categories of information we collect or receive, why we use them, how we may share them with service providers, how long we retain information, and the choices available to you. This Policy focuses specifically on browser-based technologies.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy when the website adds, removes, or changes browser-storage, analytics, authentication, or third-party technologies. The current version will be posted on this page with its updated date.
