Version 2.0 — last updated: 28 September 2026
This policy explains how NoVi Designs & Finishing (“NoVi”, “we”) uses cookies and similar technologies on www.novi-df.com. It meets the EU GDPR and ePrivacy standard that international companies follow, Egypt’s Personal Data Protection Law No. 151 of 2020 and the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL). Controller: NoVi Designs & Finishing, Bavaria Town Towers, Kattameya Road, Tower 3, 9th Floor, Unit 91, Cairo, Egypt, info@novi-df.com.
1. What cookies are and why we use them
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies — the browser’s local and session storage — work the same way. We use them for three purposes: to make the site work (strictly necessary), to understand how the site is used so we can improve it (analytics), and to measure and improve our marketing (marketing).
When you first visit, only strictly necessary items are used. Google Analytics is not even loaded, and nothing is used for analytics or marketing, until you choose “Accept all” or switch a category on under “Customise”. “Reject all” is always as easy as “Accept all”.
2. The cookies and storage we use
This list is taken from what the site actually sets. Durations are the maximum; you can delete any of them earlier.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
novi_consent | NoVi (first party) | Remembers your cookie choice, the policy version and the date you chose | Strictly necessary | 12 months |
novi-df-session, novi-df-visitor (session storage) | NoVi (first party) | Anonymous site statistics for the current tab: pages viewed, clicks, scroll depth and page speed. No IP address, no cookie, not shared. Switched off completely if you reject analytics | Strictly necessary (anonymous audience measurement) | Until the tab is closed (visit ends after 30 minutes of inactivity) |
novi-df-first-touch, novi-df-last-touch (session storage) | NoVi (first party) | Remembers how this visit started (referring website, landing page, campaign tags) so it can be attached to an enquiry you send. Not kept if you reject all | Strictly necessary (service you request) | Until the tab is closed |
novi-df-visitor (local storage) | NoVi (first party) | Recognises a returning browser in our site statistics | Analytics — only with your consent | Until you withdraw consent or clear your browser storage |
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors | Analytics — only with your consent | 2 years |
_ga_25NCN0FLD3 | Google Analytics | Keeps the session state | Analytics — only with your consent | 2 years |
novi_vid | NoVi (first party) | Anonymous visitor identifier for measuring returning visits and campaigns | Marketing — only with your consent | 13 months |
novi_ft | NoVi (first party) | First source that brought you to the site (campaign tags or referring website, landing page) | Marketing — only with your consent | 13 months |
novi_lt | NoVi (first party) | Latest source that brought you to the site | Marketing — only with your consent | 3 months |
novi_pv | NoVi (first party) | Number of pages viewed | Marketing — only with your consent | 13 months |
3. Advertising partners
No advertising partner cookies or pixels (such as Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn or Snapchat) are active on the site today. If we switch one on, it will run only with your marketing consent, and we will add it to the table above before it is enabled and update the version of this policy, so you are asked again.
4. Content from other companies
The map on the Contact page and some project videos come from Google (Google Maps, YouTube). They load only when you click “Show map” or play a video, and Google may then set its own cookies under Google’s privacy policy.
5. Changing or withdrawing your consent
- Use “Cookie settings” in the footer of any page to reopen the panel, change a category or choose “Reject all”. Withdrawing consent stops the related technologies immediately and deletes the NoVi and Google Analytics cookies from your browser.
- Your choice is stored for 12 months. We ask again when it expires or when this policy changes version.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox). Blocking strictly necessary items may stop parts of the site from working, such as remembering your choice.
6. Your rights and contact
Personal data collected with these technologies is handled as described in our Privacy Policy, which also explains your rights. For any question, contact NoVi Designs & Finishing, Bavaria Town Towers, Kattameya Road, Tower 3, 9th Floor, Unit 91, Cairo, Egypt, or email info@novi-df.com with the subject “Privacy”.
