Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Valeriia Flowers (SRL "Valeriia Flowers"), operator of the website valeriiaflowers.md, uses cookies and similar browser technologies. Our approach is deliberately minimal: we do not use advertising or analytics trackers, and we rely only on technologies that are strictly necessary for the site to function and stay secure. This document should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes in full how we process personal data.
1. What are cookies and local storage
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. When you return to the site, the browser sends the cookie back, allowing certain features to work correctly or securely.
Local storage (and the related session storage) is a similar mechanism built into modern browsers. It lets a website save small pieces of data directly in your browser — for example, to remember the contents of your shopping cart between pages. Unlike tracking cookies, this data stays in your browser and is not automatically transmitted to advertisers or third parties.
Both technologies can be viewed, cleared or blocked at any time through your browser settings, as described in Section 5.
2. Important: we do not use advertising or analytics cookies
We want to be completely clear about what our site does not do:
- We do not use advertising or marketing cookies.
- We do not use analytics or tracking tools such as Google Analytics, Yandex.Metrica, the Facebook Pixel or any comparable service.
- We do not build advertising profiles about you, and we do not sell or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Because of this, our site does not require an advertising or analytics consent banner. The only technologies we use are the strictly necessary and functional ones described below.
3. The technologies we actually use
Our site relies on two categories of technology, both essential to providing the service you request.
Functional browser storage (localStorage)
These items are stored in your own browser and are used to make core shop features work. They are not tracking tools.
- vf_cart — remembers the products you add to your shopping cart, so your selection is not lost as you move between pages. Necessary for placing an order.
- vf_wish — stores your favourites / wishlist, so you can save products you are interested in. Necessary for the wishlist feature to work.
- vf-chat-sid — a random chat session identifier used by our AI chat assistant to keep the conversation connected to your session. Necessary for the chat assistant to function.
Technical and security cookies (Cloudflare)
We use Cloudflare to deliver and protect the site (content delivery, security and protection against attacks). Cloudflare sets a small number of strictly necessary cookies for these purposes, including:
- __cf_bm — helps distinguish genuine visitors from automated bots, protecting the site and its users. Necessary for security.
- cf_clearance — used to confirm that a security check has been passed and to keep the site accessible to you. Necessary for security and correct operation of the site.
These cookies are set for the sole purpose of keeping the website available, safe and functioning correctly.
4. Legal basis
All of the technologies listed above are strictly necessary or functional. They are required to deliver a service you have explicitly requested — such as adding items to your cart, using the chat assistant, or accessing a secure and protected website.
Under the applicable data-protection framework — Law of the Republic of Moldova No. 133 of 08.07.2011 on the protection of personal data and, for data subjects in the European Union, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) — strictly necessary and functional technologies of this kind do not require prior consent. Instead, our obligation is to inform you about them transparently, which is the purpose of this policy. We do not use any technologies that would require a consent banner.
5. How to manage and delete these technologies
You remain in full control. Every modern browser lets you view, delete and block cookies and clear local storage. You can typically do this from the browser's privacy or security settings, for example:
- Delete existing cookies and clear site data / local storage;
- Block cookies from specific sites or all sites;
- Set the browser to ask you before storing data.
Please note that because the technologies we use are essential, disabling or clearing them may break core features of the site — for example, your shopping cart or favourites may not be remembered, the chat assistant may not work, or security checks may prevent the page from loading correctly.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we change the technical services we rely on. Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised "Last updated" date below. We encourage you to review it periodically.
