Cookie Policy

Effective Date: 1 May 2025
Last Updated: 7 Oct 2025

At Petal & Still, we believe in calm, transparent, and low-interference browsing.
This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website: https://petalandstill.com.

By continuing to use our site, you agree to the use of cookies as described below — unless you choose to adjust your browser or cookie settings.

We never place unnecessary cookies without your permission, and we don’t track your activity across other websites.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on your device when you visit a website.
They help remember your preferences and actions, making your browsing experience smoother and more consistent.

Cookies may be:

  • First-party: placed by us
  • Third-party: placed by other platforms (e.g. Google, Meta)

Depending on their purpose, cookies can be temporary (session cookies) or remain active for several months (persistent cookies).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Only essential cookies are active by default.
Other types — such as analytics or marketing — are optional and depend on your consent.

a) Essential Cookies

These are required for the website to function properly.
They include:

  • Shopping cart and checkout (via WooCommerce)
  • Cookie preference storage
  • Security and display settings

These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled.

b) Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our website, so we can improve navigation, layout, and experience.

We use:

  • Google Analytics (with IP anonymization)
  • Rank Math SEO (for internal insights)

These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous data such as:

  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Browser or device type
  • Traffic sources

Analytics cookies are only active if you consent.

c) Functional Cookies

These remember your choices — such as language, display, or region — to personalize your browsing experience.
We use them only when needed to support smoother navigation.

d) Advertising Cookies

Used by advertising platforms to measure performance and, if you allow, to deliver more relevant ads.
They may be set by:

  • Google Ads
  • Meta (Facebook/Instagram)
  • TikTok Ads

When enabled, these cookies help us:

  • Measure ad performance and conversions
  • Avoid showing the same ad repeatedly
  • Understand general engagement trends

We do not use these cookies unless you give permission through our cookie settings.
You may see Petal & Still ads on third-party sites, but they are not personalized unless you opt in.

3. Managing Cookies

You can control your cookie preferences at any time by:

  • Adjusting your settings in the cookie banner or consent pop-up
  • Changing your browser settings:
    • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
    • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies
    • Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies
    • Edge: Settings → Site Permissions → Cookies and Site Data

If you disable some cookies, certain parts of the website (like checkout) may not function properly.

We comply with applicable privacy regulations, including:

  • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA)
  • General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — for EU and UK visitors

We use Complianz to manage cookie preferences and store your selections anonymously for up to 6 months.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.

5. Policy Updates

We may occasionally update this Cookie Policy to reflect:

  • Changes in legal requirements
  • Adjustments to our website or tools
  • New third-party services (e.g. analytics or advertising platforms)

When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date above.
Significant changes will be announced through a notice on our site.

6. Contact Us

We understand that privacy is personal.
We’ll always be transparent about what we collect — and why.
