USE OF COOKIES: The Southern Belle Shop website utilizes "cookies" to enhance your online experience. A cookie is a text file placed on your hard disk by a web server, which cannot run programs or deliver viruses. Each cookie is individually assigned to you and can only be read by the server that issued it. The primary purpose of cookies is to offer you convenience and save time. For instance, they help us remember your specific information on future visits, streamlining the recording of your details. You have the choice to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept them, but you can adjust your settings to decline. However, declining cookies may limit your experience on our website and its features.

EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves like the visitor visiting another website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR DATA? If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue. We store the personal information provided by users who register on our website (if any) in their user profiles. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
