Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 19, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Quiteria Belgrane ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at waxydua.com. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.
By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree, you may disable cookies through your browser settings or opt out using the methods described below.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device - computer, tablet, or mobile phone - when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies are not harmful to your device and do not contain personally identifiable information on their own. However, personal data that we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as:
- Web beacons - small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page or email has been opened
- Pixel tags - code embedded in a web page that transmits information about user interactions
- Local storage - browser-based storage that allows data to persist between sessions
- Session storage - temporary storage that is cleared when the browser session ends
All references to "cookies" in this policy apply equally to these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorise the cookies we use into the following types:
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website cannot operate.
These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without affecting website functionality.
2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website - for example, which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and any error messages encountered. This information is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it does not identify individual users.
We use this data to improve how our website works and to understand overall usage patterns.
2.3 Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make - such as your language preference, region, or display settings - and provide enhanced, personalised features. The information collected by these cookies may be anonymised and cannot track your activity on other websites.
2.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
2.5 Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control the setting of these cookies and you should check the relevant third-party websites for more information about their cookies and how to manage them.

4. How Long Cookies Are Stored
Cookies can remain on your device for different lengths of time depending on their type:
- Session cookies - these are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies - these remain on your device until they expire or until you delete them manually through your browser settings
The specific duration of each cookie we use is indicated in the table above where applicable.
5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
We use cookies on the following legal grounds:
- Legitimate interest - for strictly necessary cookies that are essential to provide the service you have requested
- Consent - for all non-essential cookies, including performance, functionality, and advertising cookies, where we rely on your freely given, informed consent
Where we rely on your consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
6. Your Cookie Choices and Controls
You have several options for managing and controlling cookies:
6.1 Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can revisit and change your preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings link available on our website.
6.2 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View what cookies are stored on your device
- Delete individual or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific websites
- Block all cookies from being set
- Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being placed
The method for managing cookies varies by browser. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for specific instructions:
Please note that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of our website. Some features may not work as intended if cookies are disabled.
6.3 Opt-Out from Analytics
If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available from Google.
6.4 Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, our website does not currently alter its behaviour in response to DNT signals. We will revisit this position as industry standards develop.
7. Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies may be used in conjunction with personal data. Where this is the case, the collection and use of that personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy. We encourage you to read our Privacy Policy alongside this Cookie Policy to understand how your information is handled in full.
We do not sell personal data collected through cookies to third parties.
8. Third-Party Services
We may integrate third-party services on our website that set their own cookies. These include but may not be limited to analytics providers, payment processors, customer support tools, and embedded content platforms. We do not have direct control over the cookies set by these third parties.
We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you interact with through our website. We take reasonable steps to ensure that third-party providers we engage with maintain adequate privacy and security standards.
9. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or updates to our services. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
Where changes are material, we may notify you by placing a prominent notice on our website or by other appropriate means. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
Your continued use of our website after any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
