Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how ZHIVA ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on zhivajewelry.com, and how you can control them.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember information about your visit, such as items in your cart or your language preference, and help us understand how the store is used so we can improve it.

Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These are set by Shopify, our e-commerce platform, and are required for the store to function — keeping items in your cart, remembering your session, enabling secure checkout, and protecting against fraud. The store cannot operate without these, and they cannot be switched off through our site.

Analytics Cookies

We use Yandex Metrika to understand how visitors use our site — which pages are viewed, how people navigate between them, and general traffic patterns. This helps us fix broken pages, improve navigation, and understand what resonates with visitors. Yandex Metrika may use its own cookies and similar technologies to do this. The data we receive is aggregated and used for site improvement, not to identify you personally.

You can read more about how Yandex handles this data in the Yandex Privacy Policy.

Shopify Platform Cookies

As our store is hosted on Shopify, some cookies are set directly by Shopify to support core commerce functions, security, and performance across the platform. Details are available in Shopify's Cookie Policy.

Managing Cookies

Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Blocking essential cookies will likely prevent the cart and checkout from working correctly. You can also opt out of some analytics tracking directly through your browser's "Do Not Track" or privacy settings, or through Yandex's own opt-out tools.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal and regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
