Cookie Policy
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. This policy explains exactly what cookies we use, what they do, and how to turn them off if you'd like.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.
Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until you delete them or they expire) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies on novaandnectar.com for three purposes:
- Essential operation — to make the website function correctly

- Marketing — to measure the effectiveness of any advertising campaigns we run

- Google Analytics — Google Privacy Policy
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel — Meta Privacy Policy

5. How to Control Cookies
You have several options for controlling or disabling cookies:
Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Here are direct links for the most common browsers:
Google Analytics opt-out: You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals websites not to track your activity. There is currently no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We do not currently alter our data practices in response to DNT signals, but we will revisit this as standards develop.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please check this page regularly to stay informed. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.
