1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Davis ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at https://davisofficials.com (the "Site").

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. It details what cookies are, the types we use, the information collected, how it's used, retention periods, sharing practices, and your choices for managing cookies.

By using our Site, you agree to the use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, please adjust your browser settings to reject cookies or stop using our Site.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They store small pieces of information to make websites function properly, enhance security, improve user experience, analyze performance, and deliver personalized content or ads.

Similar technologies we may use include:

  • Web Beacons (also called tracking pixels or clear GIFs): Small graphic images in pages or emails that track user activity, such as page views or email opens, for statistics like content popularity or system integrity.
  • Local Storage: Browser-based storage (e.g., HTML5) for data on your device.
  • Scripts and Tags: Code snippets that collect and track information to improve and analyze our services.

For simplicity, we refer to all these as "cookies" in this policy.

Cookies can be:

  • Session Cookies: Temporary, deleted when you close your browser.
  • Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a set period or until deleted.
  • First-Party Cookies: Set by our Site.
  • Third-Party Cookies: Set by external services (e.g., analytics or ad providers).

3. Why we use Cookies

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several purposes:

  • Essential Functionality: To operate the Site, enable secure logins, manage sessions, and provide core features like shopping carts and payments.

  • Advertising: To deliver relevant ads, track ad performance, and limit ad repetition.

First-party cookies are mostly necessary and do not collect personally identifiable information without combining with other data. Third-party cookies help with analytics, security, relevant ads, and faster interactions.
