Cookie Policy
This page explains how cookie files are used when you visit Vera Bradlay Day, the editorial resource for Vera Bradley backpacks, duffel bags and purses. It is not marketing copy.
What a cookie file is and what it does here
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. When you return to the same site, the browser sends that file back, which lets the site remember something about your last visit — a display preference, a language setting, or the fact that you already dismissed a notice.
On Vera Bradlay Day, cookies do the quiet housekeeping that keeps a reading site working: they remember your reading preferences, help pages load reliably, and tell us in aggregate which guides on backpacks, duffel bags and purses are being opened most often. They do not identify you by name, and they do not decide what you are allowed to read.
We do not operate a store on this site. There is no cart, no checkout and no purchase flow, so no cookie here is used to hold a basket, process a payment, or store payment details. The cookie policy on this page covers an editorial resource only.
Storage that only remembers preferences
The cookies we use, in plain categories
Every cookie this site sets falls into one of the groups below. The list describes what each group does, why it is there, and whether you can turn it off without breaking the site.
Cookie group
What it does
Typical lifetime
Can you switch it off?
Essential
Keeps the page you requested loading correctly and remembers that a notice was already shown.
Until you close the browser, or a short fixed period
No — the site cannot serve pages reliably without them
Until you close the browser, or a short fixed period. Cannot be switched off.
Preference
Remembers choices you make while reading, such as a text size or a dismissed panel.
A few months
Yes — the site still reads, but your choices reset each visit
A few months. You can switch it off; your reading preferences simply reset.
Measurement
Counts which guides are opened and how far readers scroll, reported only in totals.
Up to a year, then replaced
Yes — you can opt out; we simply see less about which guides help
Up to a year. You can opt out at any time.
Third-party embeds
Set only when a page carries a font, video or social embed supplied by another provider.
Set by that provider's own policy
Yes — blocking them can leave an embed blank
Set by that provider's own policy. Blocking them can leave an embed blank.
If a group is not listed above, it is not in use on this site. We add a category to this table before we start setting it, not after.
How to manage or clear cookies yourself
You do not need our permission to remove cookies. Open your browser's settings, find the privacy or site data section, and you will see the stored files listed by site. You can delete them one by one, clear everything at once, or block third-party cookies entirely.
Blocking measurement cookies changes nothing about what you can read on this site. The styling guides, the materials notes and the trend write-ups stay open to everyone; we just lose the aggregate count of which pages are being used.
If you clear cookies regularly, some small conveniences will reset — a dismissed notice may appear again, and any reading preference you set will return to its default. That is expected behaviour, not an error.
Requests from your browser that carry a do-not-track or global privacy control signal are respected where our tooling supports them. If you would rather ask us directly about a specific cookie, write to us and we will explain what it does in plain language.
Reading preferences reset, the guides stay open
What we keep out of cookie data
Four boundaries that apply to every cookie group in the table above. They are written here so you can check them against what your browser reports.
No profile of who you are
We do not build a named profile from cookie data. There is no account on this site to attach it to, and no contact details are stored in a cookie.
No payment information
This is an editorial resource about Vera Bradley backpacks, duffel bags and purses. No cart, no checkout and no card details exist to be stored.
No sale of browsing history
Measurement data stays with us in aggregate. We do not pass a list of what you read to another company for its own use.
No hidden cookie group
If a new tool sets a cookie, it gets a row in the table on this page and a line in our privacy policy before it goes live.
Questions about this policy
If something in this cookie policy is unclear, or you want to know which group a particular file belongs to, get in touch and we will answer in plain language. The editorial desk is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

Cookie questions readers ask
Do I have to accept cookies to read this site?
No. The essential group keeps pages loading, but you can block every other group and still read the styling guides, the materials notes and the trend write-ups in full. You will simply lose remembered preferences and the site will count less about which pages are used.
Does this site set cookies for shopping or checkout?
No. Vera Bradlay Day is an editorial resource about Vera Bradley backpacks, duffel bags and purses. There is no cart, no checkout and no purchase flow, so there is nothing for a shopping cookie to hold and no payment details stored anywhere on the site.
How long does a cookie stay on my device?
It depends on the group. Essential files usually end when you close the browser. Preference files last a few months. Measurement files run up to a year and are then replaced. The table above lists each group's typical lifetime, and you can delete any of them earlier from your browser settings.
What happens when a page has a third-party embed?
A few pages carry a web font, a video or a social embed supplied by another provider. Those providers may set their own cookie when the embed loads, and their policy covers it rather than ours. Blocking third-party cookies can leave an embed blank; the rest of the page still reads normally.
Will this policy change, and how will I know?
Yes, when the tools behind the site change. The date at the top of the last photo band on this page shows the current version. When a new cookie group goes live, its row is added to the table here before it is set, and the same update lands in our privacy policy.
Where to go next
Policy pages sit alongside the editorial work. These are the pages readers open most often from here.
