1. About this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Dresden Direct, Inc. ("Dresden Direct," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit dresdendirect.com or any page that links to this policy (the "Website"). It also explains the choices available to you. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Statement.

2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on a browser or device when a website is visited. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits, server logs and other technologies that recognize a browser or device, remember preferences, protect website functions or measure website activity.

3. Why We Use These Technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to operate and secure the Website, remember privacy and display preferences, maintain form functionality, prevent fraud and abuse, diagnose technical issues, understand Website performance and, only where enabled and permitted, support analytics, embedded content or advertising-related functions.

5. First-Party and Third-Party Technologies

First-party cookies are set by Dresden Direct or the Website platform. Third-party technologies are set or controlled by external providers, such as hosting, security, analytics, video, map, form or social media providers. Those providers may process information under their own privacy notices. We do not control a third party’s independent processing activities.

6. Your Cookie Choices

You may use the Website’s Cookie Settings panel to accept, reject or change choices for optional cookies. Rejecting optional cookies should be as easy as accepting them. Strictly necessary technologies remain active because they are required to provide, protect or remember essential Website functions.

You may also use browser controls to delete or block cookies. Browser-level blocking may affect Website functionality and may not by itself communicate an opt-out from the sale or sharing of personal information.

7. California Privacy Choices and Global Privacy Control

California residents may direct us not to sell or share their personal information by using the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link available in the Website footer, submitting the linked request form, or using another method described in our Privacy Statement.

Where required, we process recognized opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control (GPC), as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information associated with the browser, device and any profile we can reasonably link to that signal. The Website should provide a visible confirmation such as “Opt-Out Request Honored” when the signal or another opt-out choice has been processed.

8. Retention

Cookies are retained only for the period reasonably necessary for the purpose stated in the live cookie declaration. Session cookies generally expire when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiration date, until they are deleted, or until consent is withdrawn. Records of privacy choices may be retained as needed to honor and demonstrate those choices.

9. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, Website functions, vendors or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date will be revised when changes are made. Material changes will be presented through an appropriate notice when required.
