Last updated: April 27, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Velvet Pulse Collective (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on velvetpulsecollective.com. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the website owner. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device between visits and remember certain information about your preferences or actions.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels — we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies” in this policy.

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies.

These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website — which pages are visited most often, how users navigate between pages, and whether they receive error messages. All data is aggregated and anonymized; no personally identifiable information is collected.

3. Third-Party Cookies
Currently, our website does not embed third-party scripts that set cookies (e.g., no Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel). If we add third-party services in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, obtain your consent before setting those cookies.
Social media platform buttons (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.) displayed on our site are static links and do not load third-party tracking scripts unless you actively navigate to those platforms.
4. How Long Do Cookies Last?
Session Cookies
Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to maintain state during a single visit.
Persistent Cookies
Remain on your device for a set period (shown in the tables above) or until you delete them. They are re-activated each time you visit our site.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions:
Impact of Disabling Cookies
Disabling essential cookies may impair the functionality of our website. Disabling analytical cookies will not affect your ability to use our site but will reduce our ability to improve the user experience.
6. Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal that users can enable to request that websites do not track their browsing activity. Our website currently respects DNT signals where technically feasible.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or regulatory requirements. When we update this policy, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
