Cookies
Our website uses “cookies,” which are small files stored by your browser to help manage your user profile. We use temporary cookies to remember your personal preferences, deliver content tailored to your interests, and ensure you don’t see the same ads too often. Cookies also help us track user activity and improve parts of our site that users find most useful. When you sign in, we store your unique ID and the time you logged in as an encrypted cookie on your device. This allows you to navigate between pages without needing to sign in again. When you sign out, these cookies are deleted. We also use cookies to make sign-ins easier, like storing your email address so that it can be automatically filled in next time you log in, requiring only your password. These cookies don’t run programs or carry viruses. Additionally, we don’t share cookie data with anyone without your consent. You can delete cookies anytime by checking your browser’s user guide.
Ads
We may partner with third-party advertising companies to display ads when you visit our site.
For example, we may use Google’s remarketing technology, which allows us to show relevant ads based on the pages you’ve viewed on our website. These ads are displayed using cookies, but the cookies don’t collect any personal information or identify you personally.
Damascus Steel Blades also uses Google’s DoubleClick Remarketing Pixels and Dynamic Ad Serving. If you prefer not to receive this kind of advertising, you can opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting the Ads Preferences Manager, DoubleClick opt-out page, and Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
Additionally, we may use Facebook Advertising and Facebook Pixel Remarketing to improve the relevance of ads. Cookies allow us to see if someone who viewed an ad on Facebook later visited our website. The control over how information is shared through Facebook Advertising and Pixel Remarketing lies with Facebook, and you can opt out through your Facebook account settings.
The third-party vendors we work with, like Google and Facebook, place cookies on your browser to show ads based on your previous visits to our site. This helps us offer special deals and continue marketing to users who have shown interest in our products. Please note that these third-party sites have their own privacy policies, which may differ from ours.

Third Party Service Providers
Some services on our site are provided by third-party providers, each of whom has their own privacy policies that may differ from ours. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third parties before sharing your personal information with them.
Sharing Of Your Personal Information
Except as outlined in this Privacy Policy or our communications with you, we will not share your personal information outside of Damascus Steel Blades without your consent.
To provide you with the best products and services, we sometimes work with business partners. When you request a product, service, or contact from a third party, we may share the necessary data to fulfill your request. Occasionally, we hire consultants who may need access to our member database to perform services for us. These business partners might be located inside or outside of the European Union. However, we ensure that these partners are contractually obligated to use any member information they receive solely for the purpose of their services.
Damascus Steel Blades may also share your personal information with outside companies to manage our mailing lists or offer retail services, but only for the purpose of fulfilling the products, services, or programs you’ve selected.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information if required by law or if we believe it’s necessary to (1) comply with legal requirements, government orders, court orders, or legal processes served on Damascus Steel Blades, or (2) protect the rights and property of Damascus Steel Blades, its affiliates, or users.
Your Security
Damascus Steel Blades is dedicated to safeguarding your personal information. We have implemented several important measures to prevent loss, misuse, or unauthorized changes to your data. First, we do not store any financial or other sensitive information on our site. The personal data we do store is secured with firewalls and passwords. Our network firewall, which combines both hardware and software, is designed to block unauthorized access. When transmitting highly sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, we use encryption methods like the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol for added protection. Your password, along with your unique email address, helps prevent others from accessing your information. We recommend keeping your password private, and if you are using a shared computer, always log out before leaving a site or service to prevent others from accessing your data.
Duration of retaining your personal information
We will keep your information for as long as necessary to provide the services you’ve requested. For handling any return requests, we need to keep your financial details for at least 60 days from the date the item is delivered to you. Without this information, processing your return would be difficult, and you would need to provide your payment details again to complete the request.
Changes To This Privacy Statement
We will occasionally update this privacy statement to reflect changes in our services or customer feedback. If there are significant changes to this policy or how we use your personal information, we will notify you by either posting a prominent notice before the changes take effect or by sending you a direct notification. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.This privacy policy does not cover information that is part of the general operation of the internet, which is beyond our control, and it doesn’t apply in any way that contradicts applicable laws or government regulations. We reserve the right to make changes to this policy at any time, at our discretion.
