A cookie is a piece of data sent from a website to a user’s computer while the user is browsing that website. Cookies are designed to save certain information inputted by a web user on particular web pages that will allow the website recall information such as postal address, phone number, customer name on future visits to that web page.

This provides ease and convenience to a user’s experience by ensuring previously submitted information does not need to be re-entered each time the user is on that web page.

Users have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but your preference can be easily updated in your browser. Opting to decline cookies may restrict users from enjoying the full breadth of Double “b” ventures’s website and its associated services and features.

Cookie Policy

Our Privacy Policy explains our principles when it comes to the collection, processing, and storage of your information. This policy specifically explains how we, our partners, and users of our services deploy cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third party cookies”).

Both websites and HTML emails may also contain other tracking technologies such as “web beacons” or “pixels.” These are typically small transparent images that provide us with statistics, for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.

How we use cookies

We use cookies for a number of different purposes. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons; some enable a personalized experience for both visitors and registered users; and some allow the display of advertising from selected third party networks. Some of these cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a visitor takes a particular action (clicking the “like” or “follow” button on a post, for example).

 Many of the cookies we use are only set if you are a registered gmail.com and/or faceboook.com user (so you don’t have to log in every time, for example), while others are set whenever you visit one of our website pages, irrespective of whether you have an account.

We set cookies in a number of different locations across our services. These include:

  • On our website pages (including landing page, product page, category page, sub-category page and checkout process pages).

Controlling Cookies

Visitors may wish to restrict the use of cookies or completely prevent them from being set. Most browsers provide for ways to control cookie behavior such as the length of time they are stored – either through built-in functionality or by utilizing third party plugins. If you disable cookies, please be aware that some of the features of our service may not function correctly.
