Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how generalvvs.com uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read with the Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files stored on a device when a website is visited. Similar technologies include pixels, local storage, tags and software development kits. They can support checkout, security, preferences, measurement and, where permitted, advertising.

2. Categories used

Strictly necessary cookies: required for website security, fraud prevention, basket, checkout, network management, privacy choices and other essential functions. These cannot be switched off through the consent banner where they are necessary to provide the requested service.

Functional cookies: remember optional preferences and support enhanced functions.

Analytics cookies: help understand store use and performance. They are used only when permitted and, where required, after consent.

Advertising and personalisation cookies: support relevant advertising, measurement and personalised commerce experiences. They are used only when permitted and, where required, after consent.

3. Shopify and installed services

The store is powered by Shopify. Shopify places essential cookies and may place optional cookies depending on enabled features and your consent. Shopify Network Intelligence is enabled and may support security, analytics, advertising, recommendations and personalised commerce experiences, subject to applicable consent and opt-out rights.

Simprosys Google Shopping Feed is used to manage product feed information for Google Shopping and Merchant Center. Shopify Messaging supports customer communications. These services may receive technical, interaction, product or communication data necessary for their configured functions. We do not state that a particular analytics or advertising pixel is active unless it is enabled in the store configuration.

4. Consent choices

For visitors in France, the cookie banner allows non-essential cookies to be accepted or refused. Non-essential cookies should not be placed before the required consent. Refusing optional cookies does not prevent use of core shopping functions.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the Cookie Preferences control available on the website. Where available, the data-sharing opt-out page provides additional choices relating to eligible data sharing. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

5. Cookie duration

Cookie duration depends on purpose. Session cookies expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain for the period shown in the browser or consent tool, subject to legal and operational limits. Consent choices are retained only as long as reasonably necessary to remember and demonstrate the choice before consent is requested again.

6. Browser controls

Browser settings can delete or block cookies, but browser controls are not a substitute for consent where consent is legally required. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the store, basket or checkout from working.

7. Contact

Questions about cookies or privacy may be sent to support@generalvvs.com. You may also exercise data-protection rights as described in the Privacy Policy.
