This Cookie Policy explains how Doyourselfafav (“we”, “us”, and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at doyourselfafav.com. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In the world of fine jewelry, precision and detail are everything. We apply that same standard to your digital privacy and the functionality of our online store, where we showcase our Wedding Rings, Pearl Necklaces, and Pearl Drop Earrings.
- What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
- First-party cookies: These are cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Doyourselfafav).
- Third-party cookies: These are cookies set by parties other than the website owner. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
- Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our online store.

- Essential Cookies and Order Processing
Our website requires certain cookies to manage the logistics of your purchase. For instance, when you proceed to checkout to pay our $6.99 flat-rate shipping fee, cookies ensure that your session is secure and that your Wedding Ring selection remains associated with your account throughout the 1-2 day handling period.
Without these cookies, basic functions like the shopping cart and secure payment processing (Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, etc.) would not function correctly.
- How Can You Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in your web browser.
- Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.
- Disabling Cookies: Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies and to delete cookies. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser, and from version to version. You can obtain up-to-date information about blocking and deleting cookies via the “Help” or “Settings” menu of your specific browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.).
- Other Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our website or opened an email including them.
This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, and to improve site performance.
- Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
