Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how GiftKiana ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. This policy provides you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies we use and the purposes for using them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, GiftKiana) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several reasons:
- To enable certain functions of our website
- To provide analytics and track usage patterns

These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they use your information. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies can be categorized based on their lifespan:
Session Cookies
These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They help us track your movement from page to page so you are not asked for information you have already provided during your current visit.
Persistent Cookies
These cookies remain on your device for a set period specified in the cookie or until you delete them. They help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences.
Managing Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by adjusting the settings in your web browser.
Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, as some features may not function properly.
How to Manage Cookies in Different Browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
- Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site permissions
Other Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other technologies to track user behavior:
Web Beacons
Web beacons (also known as pixel tags) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that track online movements of web users. Unlike cookies, which are stored on your device, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages.
Local Storage
We may use local storage technologies such as HTML5 to store content information and preferences. Local storage is similar to cookies but can store larger amounts of data.
Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, we do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals, as there is no standard for how such signals should be interpreted.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically. The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates when this policy was last revised.
Your Consent
By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you should adjust your browser settings accordingly or refrain from using our website.
