1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies can include local storage, session storage, and comparable browser storage used to remember information needed for the site to work.
2. How NovaLikes Uses Cookies
NovaLikes uses cookies and similar technologies only for purposes that match current website functionality.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies and similar technologies support core website operation.
- Cart: Maintains selected packages and cart contents while you shop and move between shopping and checkout hosts. Uses the first-party cookie iv_cart_v1 (up to 7 days) and a browser sessionStorage cart cache.
- Checkout: Supports checkout continuity so an order can be completed after package selection and configuration.
- Session: Supports browsing continuity for cart and related commerce flows. Customer accounts are not required to place an order.
- Operational analytics: Measures storefront funnel performance (visits, sessions, cart, checkout, and paid orders) so we can operate and improve the shop. This is first-party operational analytics, not advertising measurement. Uses first-party cookies nl_visitor_id (about 1 year), nl_session_id, and nl_session_activity (sliding ~30 minutes of inactivity). No third-party analytics cookies are set by default.
- Security: Supports security-related website operation, including staff administrative session protection where applicable. Staff admin access may use an iv_admin_session cookie. This is not a customer login cookie.
Named first-party technologies currently used
- iv_cart_v1 — first-party cart cookie used for cart handoff (up to 7 days), together with a sessionStorage cart cache
- nl_visitor_id — first-party visitor identifier cookie (about 1 year) for operational storefront analytics
- nl_session_id / nl_session_activity — first-party session cookies with ~30 minutes of inactivity timeout for operational analytics
- iv_admin_session — staff administrative session cookie for NovaLikes admin access (not a customer account cookie)
- novalikes.analytics.consent.v1 — browser localStorage key used to store analytics consent preferences for possible future analytics scripts
Functional Cookies
Beyond the essential cart, checkout, session, operational analytics, and security purposes listed above, NovaLikes does not currently maintain a separate inventory of optional functional preference cookies.
Analytics Cookies
No named analytics cookies or analytics providers are currently enabled in NovaLikes configuration. Optional analytics adapters (such as environment-gated integrations) are not treated as active until they are enabled in deployment with the required identifiers.
Advertising / Marketing Cookies
No advertising, remarketing, or marketing pixels are currently enabled in NovaLikes configuration.
3. Third-Party Cookies
When you complete Card Payment checkout, you may be redirected to a third-party payment collector. That payment environment may set its own cookies according to the payment provider’s practices. NovaLikes does not control those third-party cookies.
No third-party analytics or advertising cookies are currently enabled by NovaLikes configuration.
4. Cookie Duration
Session technologies generally last only for the browsing session or until the storage is cleared. Persistent cookies can remain for a defined period.
The cart cookie iv_cart_v1 is configured with a maximum age of up to 7 days. Exact lifetimes for other technologies can vary by browser settings and operational needs. NovaLikes does not invent additional exact durations beyond what is verified in the application.
5. Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting cookies.
NovaLikes does not currently provide a public cookie-consent banner or preference-center interface. Browser controls remain available for managing cookies.
6. Effect of Disabling Cookies
Disabling necessary cookies or related storage may affect site functionality, including cart continuity and checkout handoff between shopping and payment flows.
7. Updates
NovaLikes may update this Cookie Policy when cookie practices change. The Last Updated date at the top of this page will reflect material revisions.
