At Vibe Natural Vegan (vibenaturalvegan.com), we use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and deliver personalized content and ads. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage them. It applies to vibenaturalvegan.com and any other sites we operate.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (e.g., computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, recognize your device on return visits, and improve functionality and performance. Other technologies, like pixels or local storage, may also be used similarly.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for various purposes to make your experience on Vibe Natural Vegan better:

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for the site to work properly, such as enabling navigation, accessing secure areas, or processing store orders (once our shop launches).
• Performance Cookies: Collect anonymous data about how visitors use our site (e.g., most-visited pages, error messages) to improve its performance.
• Functionality Cookies: Remember your preferences (e.g., language or region) for a more tailored experience.
• Advertising Cookies: Help us show relevant ads (e.g., vegan products or eco-travel gear) and measure the success of our marketing efforts, including affiliate programs like Amazon Associates.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Here’s an overview of the cookies you might encounter:

• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that last only while you’re on the site. They’re deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent Cookies: Stay on your device after you leave, expiring on a set date or after a specific time. These help us recall your settings on future visits.
• First-Party Cookies: Set by Vibe Natural Vegan to manage our site’s features.
• Third-Party Cookies: Set by external services we use (e.g., Google Analytics, ad networks) to analyze traffic or serve ads. These follow the providers’ own privacy policies.

4. Third-Party Cookies

We partner with trusted third parties to enhance our site:

• Google Analytics: Tracks site usage anonymously to help us improve content and navigation. You can opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.
• Advertising Networks: We may use services like Google AdSense or affiliate programs (e.g., Amazon Associates) to display personalized ads. These cookies track your browsing habits across sites to show relevant offers, like vegan or sustainable products, and allow us to earn commissions on qualifying purchases.
• Social Media: Buttons or widgets (e.g., Instagram, Twitter) may set cookies to enable sharing or track interactions.

For details on third-party cookies, check their respective privacy policies.

5. Legal Basis (For EU and Similar Regions)
