What cookies are
Cookies are small text files your browser stores when visiting a site. They serve, for instance, to keep you authenticated, remember basket contents across pages, or retain a language preference.
Delicious Diamonds uses cookies solely so the site can function. We do not use third-party analytics, advertising pixels, or tracking cookies. That is why you do not see a consent banner — the GDPR and Portuguese Decree-Law 7/2004 exempt strictly necessary cookies from prior consent.

Third-party cookies
Delicious Diamonds does not use third-party cookies. No Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no Hotjar or equivalent. Our fonts are served from our own server. The Leaflet map on Gardens of Origin uses CARTO or OpenStreetMap tiles and stores nothing in your browser.
To learn what works, our server counts anonymous daily totals: visits per page and, along the purchase path, how often a coffret is viewed, added to the basket and taken to payment. It uses no cookies, does not keep your IP or what you chose, and identifies no one. That is why it needs no consent.
How to manage in your browser
You can disable or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings. Note · disabling essential cookies removes the ability to sign in, keep a cart, or use account features.
