Last Updated: October 5, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how David Stern Jewelers and our affiliated sites use cookies and similar technologies, covering different types of cookies and similar technologies, to enhance your shopping experience while respecting your privacy. We believe in being transparent about our data collection practices and providing you with control over your information.

Certain terms used in this policy are defined for clarity. This policy is governed by specific terms, and users should review these terms for a full understanding.

Introduction to Cookie Policy

At David Stern Jewelers and our affiliated sites, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a secure browsing experience. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to collect information when you visit our website or interact with our services. We believe in transparency, so this policy outlines what cookies and similar technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control their use. Please note, this policy applies only to our websites and services, not to websites hosted by our customers or to tracking code implemented by others. Our customers are responsible for managing cookies and similar technologies on their own sites and must comply with all applicable privacy regulations and laws. Our goal is to help you understand how we collect information and use these technologies to enhance your experience while protecting your privacy.

Our Use of Cookies

We maintain a minimalist approach to data collection, primarily using cookies only for essential shopping functions and limited marketing purposes. Our primary cookie usage falls into two main categories: shopping cart persistence and advertising-related cookies.

Functionality cookies are also used to enhance user experience by remembering preferences, maintaining sessions, and enabling core features of the website, such as saving language choices and user configurations.

We offer users options to manage or customize their cookie preferences according to their privacy needs.

Shopping Cart Cookies

To enhance your shopping experience, we store shopping cart data using cookies for a period of 30 days. Cookies remember your cart items and user choices, such as language or display preferences, to streamline and personalize your shopping experience. For first-time visitors, cookies help personalize and enhance the initial experience by remembering preferences and making navigation easier. This allows you to return to our website and find your selected items still in your cart, making it convenient to complete your purchase at a later time. This data is stored locally on your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

Advertising and Remarketing Cookies

We utilize cookies from Facebook and Google for advertising purposes. Advertisers use these cookies to measure the impact of ads, optimize campaigns, and utilize platform features to reach target audiences effectively. These cookies allow us to provide you with relevant jewelry advertisements and special offers when you visit other websites by collecting data on your interests, such as browsing behavior and search history, to tailor ads to your preferences. Cookies also enable measurements of ad performance and customer actions, which are essential for refining our marketing efforts. Additionally, cookies are allowing the collection of analytics data to improve advertising effectiveness. We reserve the right to remarket to you for up to 30 days after your visit to DavidSternJewelers.com and our affiliated sites. This helps us show you products you’ve expressed interest in and share special promotions that might be relevant to your jewelry search.

Similar Technologies Used

In addition to cookies, we utilize a range of similar technologies to collect data and support the functionality of our website. These include clear gifs (also known as Web Beacons, Web Bugs, or tracking pixels), which help us track user interactions, measure the effectiveness of our communications, and monitor the health of our network. For example, clear gifs in our HTML emails allow us to see when an email has been opened, helping us improve our communication with customers. We also use unique identifiers for apps or devices, pixel tags, and local storage, all of which serve similar purposes as cookies—such as supporting advertising, enhancing website function, and protecting your privacy. These technologies help us track user interactions across devices, collect relevant data, and ensure our website operates smoothly and securely.

Third-Party Cookies

Our website uses both first-party and third-party cookies to deliver a seamless and personalized experience. Third-party cookies are set by external providers and enable features such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. These cookies can recognize your computer or mobile device across different websites, helping us and our partners deliver relevant ads, measure website performance, and provide enhanced content. Examples include cookies from social media platforms for sharing content, advertising networks for serving targeted ads, and analytics services for tracking website usage. We carefully select third-party providers and work with them to ensure their cookies are set in compliance with our Cookie Policy and all applicable laws, so you can trust that your data is handled responsibly.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have complete control over the cookies stored on your device. If you wish to remove shopping cart data or prevent remarketing, you can clear your cookies through your web browser. You can also reject cookies by adjusting your browser settings or using cookie banners, which allows you to decline cookies and limit data collection. Additionally, you may drop cookies to further enhance your privacy control by removing or deleting tracking data from your device. Remember, you can continue to manage and update your cookie preferences at any time to maintain your desired level of privacy. Here’s how to clear cookies in popular browsers:

In Google Chrome: Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear browsing data > Select “Cookies and other site data” > Choose time range > Clear data

In Safari: Go to Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data > Remove All

In Firefox: Go to Options > Privacy & Security > Clear Data > Select “Cookies and Site Data” > Clear

In Microsoft Edge: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Clear browsing data > Select “Cookies and other site data” > Clear now

User Consent

Your privacy and control over your data are important to us. When you first visit our website, you’ll see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept, reject, or manage your cookie preferences. For visitors outside the European Union, all cookies will be set unless you choose to decline or manage your preferences. You can update your cookie choices at any time by clicking the “Manage Cookies” link in the footer of our website. Please note that rejecting cookies may limit your access to certain website features or areas. Your cookie choices are specific to the browser and device you use; if you clear your cookies, you’ll need to set your preferences again. Additionally, you can manage cookies through your browser settings, where you can choose to accept or refuse cookies as you see fit. We respect your decisions and strive to make it easy for you to manage your cookie preferences at any time.

Cookie Duration

All our cookies have a maximum lifespan of 30 days, after which they automatically expire. Certain cookies are required for essential website functionality and will be set when visiting the site. Shopping cart data and remarketing permissions are cleared at this time unless you’ve made another visit to our website, which may reset the cookie duration if required cookies are still needed.

Google Tag Manager

To streamline our website management and data collection, we use Google Tag Manager. This tool allows us to efficiently manage all website tags—such as those for analytics, advertising, and remarketing—without the need to edit code directly. Google Tag Manager helps us deploy and update tags quickly, reducing the time needed for testing and implementation. With features like easy preview, debug tools, and auto-event triggers, we can ensure our tags are working correctly and securely. Google Tag Manager integrates seamlessly with both Google and third-party tags, supporting our efforts in Google Ads conversion tracking, basic remarketing, and dynamic remarketing. By using this tool, we can manage data collection responsibly, enhance website performance, and ensure your privacy is protected throughout your interactions with our site.

Your Privacy Rights

We respect your right to privacy and your control over your data. If you choose to clear your cookies, please note that this will remove your shopping cart items and stop any remarketing activities. Cookies also help protect your account by verifying your identity and preventing unauthorized access, so clearing them may require you to log in again for security reasons. Additionally, cookies and similar technologies help secure forms on our website, preventing spam, fraud, and abuse when you submit information. However, you can still browse our website and make purchases normally – you’ll simply need to add items to your cart again.

Updates to This 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. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new “Last Updated” date.

Our dedicated privacy and compliance team regularly reviews and updates the cookie policy to ensure best practices are followed.
