A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. It allows your device to be recognised on later visits, remembers your preferences and, depending on its purpose, measures visitor behaviour or personalises advertising.
We use the term "cookie" broadly: similar technologies (pixels, web beacons, locally stored identifiers, SDKs) that serve the same purposes are also covered.

The cookies on our website are used to:
ensure the website and your shopping cart work properly;
secure your order and customer sessions;
measure visits and analyse usage in order to improve the website;
show you relevant advertising on our website and on third-party platforms (Meta, Google);
measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and email communications.

3.1 — Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to work and for the security of your order. They cannot be switched off. Without them, the shopping cart, checkout and account access would not work.
3.2 — Performance and analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website (page views, time spent, click paths) so we can improve the user experience. They are configured with IP anonymisation.
3.3 — Functional cookies
These cookies remember your choices (language, country, display preferences) to make your visit smoother.
3.4 — Marketing and advertising cookies
These cookies allow us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to show you personalised advertising on other websites and platforms (Meta, Google, etc.).

Our store may use cookies from trusted third-party services:

• Analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics).
• Secure payment services.
• Advertising platforms (e.g. Meta Pixel).

Certain cookies are set by third parties (Google, Meta, Klaviyo, hCaptcha, etc.) that may transfer your information outside Australia, in particular to the United States and Hong Kong.
In accordance with APP 8, we take reasonable steps to ensure these providers handle your information in a manner consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles. Each provider is subject to its own privacy policy.
Further details are available on request at info@rubyvaughan.com.

On your first visit to rubyvaughan.com, a cookie banner offers you three equally presented options:
"Accept all" — you consent to all cookies (necessary, analytics, functional, marketing).
"Reject all" — only strictly necessary cookies are set.
"Customise" — you choose, for each category, whether to accept or reject.
Rejecting cookies is as easy as accepting them.
Changing or withdrawing your preferences at any time
You can revisit your choice at any time by clicking the "Manage cookies" link at the bottom of the website. This reopens the preference centre and lets you change or withdraw your choices.

In addition to our banner, you can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and let you accept or reject them. Disabling cookies may limit access to certain features of the website (in particular the shopping cart and checkout).
