Real Or Repro Cookie Policy

Ruby Lane, Inc. (“Real Or Repro,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies (including pixels, local storage, SDKs, and device identifiers, collectively, “cookies”) to operate our website, keep it secure, understand usage, and, where permitted, personalize content and advertising. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which categories we use and why, and the choices available to you. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy

1. What are cookies?

   Cookies are small files placed on your browser or device. Related technologies (like pixels or local storage) perform similar functions. Cookies may be:
   • First-party (set by Ruby Lane) or third-party (set by service providers), and
   • Session (expire when you close your browser) or persistent (remain for a defined period).

2. Categories we use and why

   • Strictly Necessary --  Required for the site to function (security, authentication, account, cart/checkout, fraud prevention, network management). These are always active.
   • Analytics --  Help us understand site performance (pages visited, features used, errors) so we can improve.
   Retention: Session cookies end when you close your browser. Persistent cookies typically last between 1 and 24 months unless you delete them or change preferences.

3. Third-party cookies and services

   We work with service providers who may set or read cookies when you use our site, for example:
   • Google (Analytics, Ads, reCAPTCHA)
   • Google sign in, only if you click Continue with Google. Nothing is loaded from Google for sign in until then. Google's script then sets a cookie on our site (g_state, up to 180 days) to manage its sign in prompts, and Google may use its own cookies on accounts.google.com.
   • Meta (Facebook/Instagram pixel)
   • Pinterest (Pinterest tag)
   These providers may process data outside your jurisdiction (including the United States). Where required, Ruby Lane relies on Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved safeguards for international transfers. See their privacy materials for details on how they handle data.

4. Your choices

   • Primary Method: Use our Manage Privacy Preferences (accessible via ”Manage Privacy Preferences” in our footer) for immediate control over data sharing.
   • Alternative Method: Email privacy@rubylane.com if you need assistance with cookie settings.
   • Global Privacy Control (GPC): Some browsers and privacy tools let you send a signal called Global Privacy Control (GPC), which tells websites you don’t want your data used for ads.
     
     At Ruby Lane, we already run on an opt-in model — no optional cookies are set unless you say “yes.” That means you’re protected even if you don’t have GPC.
     
     If your browser does support GPC (like Firefox, Brave, or certain extensions), we’ll read that signal and effectively treat it as a “no” for advertising cookies, in line with laws in California and Colorado.
     
     

     Note: Some browsers automatically send privacy signals that may conflict with your explicit choices on our site. If you experience unexpected behavior, check your browser's privacy settings or contact us for assistance.
   • Browser controls: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Some features may not work without necessary cookies.
   • Ad choices: You can also visit industry opt-out pages (e.g., NAI/DAA) for interest-based ads on participating services. These are browser-specific and may rely on cookies to retain your choice.

5. California privacy rights (CPRA)

   California residents may opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, which can include some advertising cookies. Use Manage Privacy Preferences or visit Do Not Sell/Share Page. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

6. Legal bases (EEA/UK where applicable)

   • We use Strictly Necessary cookies based on our legitimate interests in operating a secure, functional website.
   • We use Analytics cookies only with your consent where required by law. You can withdraw or change consent at any time via Manage Privacy Preferences.

7. Do Not Track & GPC

   We currently do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals due to the lack of an industry standard. We do honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) as described above.

8. Changes to this policy

   We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time (for legal, technical, or business reasons). When we do, we’ll revise the Effective Date above. Material changes may also be highlighted in the banner or preference center.
