Cookie Policy

01What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website operator.
Cookies may be first-party (set by virtus.gift directly) or third-party (set by third-party services we use, such as payment processors or analytics tools). They may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a specified period).
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. This policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as “cookies.”
02How We Use Cookies
virtus.gift uses cookies for the following purposes:
- To ensure the website functions correctly (shopping cart, login sessions, checkout)
- To remember your preferences and settings
- To process payments securely via Stripe
- To analyse how visitors use the website, helping us improve it
- To detect and prevent fraud and security threats
Cookie consent on virtus.gift is managed through the WP Consent API (version 2.0.1). Strictly necessary cookies are set without requiring your consent; all other categories require your active consent, which you can manage at any time via your consent preferences.
03Cookie Categories & Specific Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They enable core functionality such as shopping cart management, checkout processing, and secure login. No consent is required for these cookies.
Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use. Disabling these cookies may affect your browsing experience.
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with virtus.gift. We use Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit) to collect anonymised usage data such as page views, session duration, and traffic sources. This data helps us improve the website.
Payment cookies are set by Stripe when you proceed to checkout. They are required for secure payment processing and fraud prevention. These cookies are set only on checkout pages and only when you initiate a payment.
04Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on virtus.gift are set by third-party services we integrate with. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review:
- Google (Analytics & SMTP): policies.google.com/privacy
- Stripe (Payments): stripe.com/privacy
- Brevo / Sendinblue (Email): brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy
We do not control third-party cookies directly. Third-party cookies are governed by the respective third party’s policies. Where consent is required for third-party analytics cookies, these are only set after you have given consent via our cookie consent tool.
05Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit virtus.gift, you are presented with a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookies. Your preferences are stored via the WP Consent API and respected across your visit.
You may update or withdraw your cookie consent at any time by clicking the “Cookie Preferences” link in the footer of our website. Withdrawing consent for non-essential cookies will not affect the legality of processing based on consent prior to withdrawal.
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of virtus.gift. In particular, disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent the checkout from functioning correctly.
06Your Browser Controls
In addition to our on-site consent tool, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View and delete cookies stored on your device
- Block all or certain types of cookies
- Set cookie preferences for specific websites

You may also opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
07Policy Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our services evolve or as legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent revision was made. Material changes will be communicated via the cookie consent banner on your next visit.
