1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, mobile phone) when you visit. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login or language), so you don’t have to re‑enter them every time you come back. Some cookies are set by the site itself (“first‑party cookies”), others by third‑party services (“third‑party cookies”), e.g. analytics, advertising, social media tools.

2. Types of cookies we use

We use different types of cookies for different purposes. Below are the main categories:

Category    Purpose
Strictly Necessary / Technical Cookies    These are essential for the basic operation of the site (e.g. enabling you to log in, maintain your shopping cart, navigate between pages). Without them the site may not work properly.
Performance / Analytics Cookies    To collect information about how visitors use the site (pages viewed, time spent, where people come from). This helps us improve functionality and user experience. The data is usually aggregated and anonymous.
Functionality / Preference Cookies    To remember your choices (language, region, font size, etc.) and provide you with enhanced, personalized features.
Advertising / Targeting / Profiling Cookies    Used to deliver ads relevant to you and your interests. These may also limit how many times you see an ad and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
3. First‑party vs Third‑party cookies

First‑party cookies are those set by our website. They are under our control.

Third‑party cookies come from external services (e.g. analytics providers, ad networks, social media widgets) when you visit our site. We do not always control these third‑party cookies or how data collected by them is used.

4. Consent and managing cookies

On your first visit, a cookie banner will appear offering options such as:
• Accept all cookies
• Accept only strictly necessary cookies
• Customize / manage your cookie preferences

You can change or withdraw consent at any time. Usually there is a link/privacy‑or‑cookie settings in the footer or in the banner.

You can also manage or delete cookies via your browser settings. Keep in mind that disabling certain cookies (especially essential ones) may limit or block some site features and affect your experience.

5. How long cookies last

Session cookies expire when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies remain for a defined period (e.g. weeks or months) based on their purpose (e.g. remembering preferences, keeping you logged in).

6. Third‑party tools used

We may use third‑party services that set their own cookies, for example:

Analytics platforms (to understand site traffic, user behavior)

Advertising networks (for targeted advertising)

Social media plugins or sharing tools

These services’ cookies are subject to their respective privacy policies. We encourage you to review them directly if interested.

7. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights including:

Accessing information about what cookies/data is stored

Requesting deletion or restriction of the data collected via cookies

Withdrawing consent for non‑essential cookies

Objecting to profiling or targeted advertising

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@laurababoujian.com.

8. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this policy from time to time (for example to reflect changes in law or in site functionality). When we make changes, the “Last Updated” date will be revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
