Cookie Policy
1. What this policy is about
This Cookie Policy explains how Purevion Essalique Limited ("we", "us", "our") uses, or does not use, cookies and similar technologies on this website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more generally, and our Terms & Conditions.
We are a company registered in New Zealand (company number 8147392, GST/VAT number 136-947-582). Our registered address is 58 Cook Flat Road, Fox Glacier 7886, New Zealand.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, phone or tablet when you visit. They are stored by your web browser and sent back to the website on later visits or to another website that recognises the same cookie. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, to remember your choices, to understand how a site is used, and sometimes to show advertising.
"Similar technologies" include local storage and session storage in your browser, tracking pixels, web beacons, device fingerprinting and software development kits. Where this policy says "cookies", it also covers these technologies.
Cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them. They can be first-party cookies, set by the website you are visiting, or third-party cookies, set by another organisation whose content or service is embedded on that website.
3. Our current use of cookies
At the time of writing, this website does not set any cookies and does not store information in your browser's local storage or session storage. In particular:
- we do not use analytics or statistics tools, so we do not track how you move around the website;
- we do not use advertising, remarketing or social media tracking cookies or pixels;
- we do not embed content from other services, such as maps, videos, social media feeds or chat widgets, that could set third-party cookies;
- the fonts, icons, images, style sheets and scripts used by the pages are all served from the same website, so your browser does not contact external content delivery networks or font services to display them; and
- the contact form does not use cookies and does not send your message to a third-party form service. It opens a message in your own email program, which you can then choose to send (see our Privacy Policy).
Because we do not currently use cookies, we do not display a cookie banner. The website works fully without any cookie being set.
4. Information that is not stored in cookies
Even without cookies, the server that delivers this website records standard technical information when a page is requested, such as your IP address, the date and time, the requested page and basic details about your browser. This is kept in server logs for a limited period for security and troubleshooting. It is not a cookie, and it is explained in section 7 of our Privacy Policy.
5. The types of cookies explained
Websites generally use cookies in four categories. This section explains each of them and how it applies to us.
Strictly necessary cookies
These are essential for a website to function, for example to keep you signed in, to remember items in a basket, or to keep a secure connection. They do not require consent under most laws because the site cannot work without them. We do not currently use any.
Functional cookies
These remember choices you make, such as your language or region, so that the website can offer more personal features. We do not currently use any.
Analytics or performance cookies
These collect information about how visitors use a website, such as which pages are visited most and whether errors occur, so that the site can be improved. They usually need your consent. We do not currently use any and we do not run analytics.
Advertising and social media cookies
These build a profile of your interests and show relevant advertising on this and other websites, or let you share content on social networks. They require your consent. We do not use any and this website does not contain social media or advertising features.
6. Third-party cookies
We do not allow third parties to set cookies on this website. When you follow a link from our website to another website, that website may use its own cookies. We do not control them and we are not responsible for them, so please read the cookie and privacy policies of any website you visit.
7. How long cookies last
Because we do not set cookies, there are no cookies from this website that remain on your device. If we introduce any in the future, we will state the name, purpose, provider and retention period of each one in this policy before it is used. Strictly necessary session cookies would normally be deleted when you close your browser, and any persistent cookie would be kept for no longer than necessary and, as a general rule, not more than 12 months.
8. Consent
We will not place cookies that are not strictly necessary on your device unless you have given your consent. If we ever introduce optional cookies, we will show a clear notice with an equal choice to accept or reject them, will not use cookies until you have chosen, will explain the categories in plain language, and will let you change your mind at any time, as easily as you gave consent. Your choice is not a condition of using the basic features of the website.
This approach is designed to be consistent with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, with the ePrivacy rules and GDPR that apply to visitors in the European Economic Area, and with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.
9. How you can manage and delete cookies
Whether or not a website uses cookies, you can control them in your browser. Most browsers let you see which cookies are stored, delete some or all of them, block cookies from particular sites or from all third parties, and ask to be notified when a cookie is set. The exact steps differ between browsers, but you can usually find them in the settings under "Privacy", "Privacy and security" or "Cookies and site data".
In general:
- Google Chrome: open Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies or Cookies and other site data.
- Mozilla Firefox: open Settings, then Privacy & Security, then Cookies and Site Data.
- Apple Safari: open Settings or Preferences, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data.
- Microsoft Edge: open Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies and site data.
- Mobile browsers: open the browser's settings on your device, or the privacy settings in your device's system settings.
You can also use your browser's private or incognito mode, which usually deletes cookies at the end of the session. Blocking or deleting all cookies may stop some websites from working properly, but it will not affect this website because it does not depend on cookies.
If your browser or device sends a "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control signal, we respect it. As we do not track visitors, our website behaves the same way with or without the signal.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we start using a new tool or if the law changes. The date of the latest update is shown at the top of this page. If we introduce cookies that need your consent, we will update this page and ask for your consent before those cookies are used.
