Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience. Similar technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage serve comparable purposes and are covered by this policy.

Cookies We Use

Essential

• Cart data — We use sessionStorage to temporarily hold your order data while you browse and complete your purchase. This data is cleared when you close your browser tab.
• Cookie consent preference — We use localStorage to remember whether you have accepted or declined non-essential cookies, so we do not ask you repeatedly.

Analytics

We plan to use Google Analytics in the future to understand how visitors interact with our website. This is not yet active. When enabled, Google Analytics will use cookies to collect anonymised usage data. We will update this policy accordingly before activating any analytics tracking.

Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via their privacy or security preferences. Please note that disabling essential cookies or clearing sessionStorage may affect cart functionality, and you may lose items in your basket.

For instructions on managing cookies in your specific browser, visit your browser's help documentation.

Third-Party Cookies

• Ziina — Our payment processor, Ziina, may set cookies during the checkout process to facilitate secure payment handling.
• Google Fonts — We load typefaces from Google Fonts, which may result in Google receiving your IP address and setting cookies according to their own privacy policy.

Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when the policy was most recently revised.
