1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Nermin Olive Oil (“Nermin Olive Oil,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at https://nerminoliveoil.com (the “Site”) or interact with our online services. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, the categories of cookies in use, and the choices available to you, including rights provided under U.S. state privacy laws.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and disclose personal information more broadly.
2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device and store information about your preferences or past actions. Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by a domain other than the one you are visiting are called “third-party cookies” and enable third-party features, such as analytics and advertising.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies, including:
- Pixels and tags (web beacons): Tiny graphic files embedded in webpages or emails that track interactions and conversions.
- Software development kits (SDKs): Code embedded in mobile apps that performs functions similar to cookies.
- Local storage and session storage: Browser features that allow websites to store data on your device.
- Server logs and device identifiers: Information automatically collected when your device communicates with our servers.
For convenience, all of these technologies are referred to in this policy as “cookies.”
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as adding items to your cart, logging in, or completing checkout. The Site will not work properly without them. Because they are required, they are not subject to opt-out.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, and any errors encountered. We use this information to improve site performance and the customer experience. The information collected is aggregated and, where possible, pseudonymized.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your language, region, or recently viewed products. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are set through our Site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store personal information directly, but they are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. Under certain U.S. state privacy laws, the use of these cookies may be considered a “sale” of personal information or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. See Section 6 for your rights and how to opt out.

6. Your Privacy Rights Under U.S. State Laws
Depending on the state in which you reside, you may have certain rights regarding the personal information collected through cookies and similar technologies. These rights are described below.
6.1 California (CCPA / CPRA)
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the “CCPA”), California residents have the following rights:
- The right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and “sell” or “share.”
- The right to delete personal information we have collected, subject to certain exceptions.
- The right to correct inaccurate personal information.
- The right to opt out of the “sale” of personal information and the “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- The right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information.
- The right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.
Notice of Sale and Sharing. We do not sell personal information in exchange for money. However, our use of certain advertising cookies, such as Meta Pixel, Google Ads, and TikTok Pixel, may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under the CCPA because these tools allow advertising partners to use online identifiers and browsing activity to deliver targeted advertising. In the preceding 12 months, the categories of personal information that may have been sold or shared include online identifiers, internet activity information (such as browsing and search history and interactions with the Site), and inferences drawn from this information.
How to opt out. You can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information by:
- Clicking the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the footer of our Site.
- Adjusting your preferences through our cookie consent banner.
- Enabling a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser, which we will treat as a valid opt-out request for the browser and device on which it is enabled.
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers we know are under 16 years of age.
6.2 Other U.S. States
Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, Delaware, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee, Maryland, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Nebraska, and other states with comprehensive consumer privacy laws may have rights including:
- The right to confirm whether we process their personal data and to access that data.
- The right to correct inaccuracies in their personal data.
- The right to delete personal data we have collected.
- The right to obtain a copy of their personal data in a portable format.
- The right to opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of personal data, and certain profiling activities.
You can exercise the opt-out right for targeted advertising in the same ways described in Section 6.1, including by using a recognized universal opt-out mechanism such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal.
6.3 Global Privacy Control (GPC)
The Global Privacy Control is a browser-based signal that communicates a user’s privacy preferences to websites. When we detect a GPC signal from your browser, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and of targeted advertising, for that browser or device. You can learn more about GPC and how to enable it at https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.

7.2 Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these settings in the “Options,” “Preferences,” or “Privacy” menu of your browser. Common options include blocking all cookies, blocking third-party cookies only, deleting existing cookies, and receiving a prompt before a cookie is stored.

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through cookies or similar technologies.
