Cookie Policy
A short, plain-English explanation of the cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser when you visit a website. Cookies let the site remember things about your visit (like whether you are logged in, or which items are in your wishlist) and help us understand how readers use the site so we can make it better.
This policy is part of our Privacy Policy. Together they explain how Vitiex Global FZ-LLC handles your data on vitiligomart.com.

How to control cookies
You have three ways to manage cookies:
1. Cookie consent banner. When you first visit the site, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can revisit your choice anytime by clicking the consent link in the site footer.
2. Browser settings. All major browsers let you block or delete cookies. Help guides for the most common browsers:
Google Chrome · Safari · Firefox · Microsoft Edge
3. Opt-out tools. For Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Disabling essential cookies will break some site features (login, cart, wishlist). Disabling analytics or affiliate cookies will not affect your ability to read or shop.
Do Not Track
Some browsers send a Do Not Track (DNT) signal. There is no industry-wide standard for how sites should respond. We do not currently change site behaviour based on DNT, but we honour your explicit choices in the cookie consent banner.
Updates to this policy
If we add, remove, or significantly change the cookies we use, we will update this page and the “Last updated” date below. For material changes, we may also re-prompt your cookie consent.
