This Cookie Policy explains how Vintage USA Inc, doing business as East Village Buyers ("we," "us," or "our"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at eastvillagebuyers.com. This policy applies to visitors worldwide and is designed to comply with applicable privacy laws including the GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, ePrivacy Directive, LGPD, PIPEDA, and POPIA.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and deliver relevant advertising. Similar technologies include pixels, web beacons, and local storage.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core features like navigation, security, and remembering your cookie consent choice. You cannot opt out of essential cookies because the site cannot operate without them.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are visited, how long users stay, where traffic comes from, and what devices are used. This helps us improve the site experience. We use or plan to use Google Analytics (GA4) for this purpose.

Advertising & Marketing Cookies

We use or plan to use advertising cookies to measure the effectiveness of our ads, deliver relevant advertising, and track conversions. These cookies may be set by third-party advertising platforms including:

• Google Ads — conversion tracking and remarketing
• Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel — ad targeting, conversion tracking, and custom audience building
• TikTok Pixel — ad performance measurement (planned)

These third parties may combine information collected on our site with information collected on other sites to provide measurement services and targeted ads.

5. Legal Basis by Region

European Union / EEA / United Kingdom (GDPR & ePrivacy Directive)

We process personal data through cookies based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). Non-essential cookies are only set after you click "Accept all." You have the right to withdraw consent at any time by clearing cookies. Essential cookies are processed under our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)) in operating a functional website. Data may be transferred to the United States where our servers and third-party providers are located; such transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where applicable.

California (CCPA / CPRA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act, you have the right to know what personal information is collected, to delete it, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. When advertising cookies are active, information may be "shared" with advertising partners as defined under CPRA. Clicking "Essential only" on our cookie banner exercises your right to opt out. We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. California residents may contact us at 917-608-8939 for privacy requests.

New York

New York does not currently have a comprehensive consumer privacy law equivalent to the GDPR or CCPA. However, we comply with New York General Business Law requirements for transparent disclosure of data collection practices. As a NYC-licensed business (DCA #2070477), we operate with full transparency about how data is collected on our website.

Brazil (LGPD)

Under the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados, non-essential cookies are set only with your consent. You have the right to access, correct, anonymize, block, or delete personal data. You may withdraw consent at any time.

Canada (PIPEDA)

Under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, we obtain meaningful consent before using non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent by adjusting your browser settings or clearing cookies.

South Africa (POPIA)

Under the Protection of Personal Information Act, non-essential cookies are used only with your consent. You have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold.

Other Jurisdictions

If you are located in a jurisdiction with specific privacy or cookie legislation not listed above, we aim to comply with the spirit and requirements of your local law. Our default approach is consent-based: non-essential cookies are only set after you affirmatively click "Accept all."

6. Data Retention

Cookie consent preferences are stored in your browser's local storage indefinitely until you clear your browser data. Third-party cookies have their own retention periods as listed in the cookie table above. We do not store personal information from cookies on our own servers.

7. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us to request deletion.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
