Cookies are tiny text files that websites store on your device. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember stuff about you - like keeping items in your shopping cart or remembering your preferences.
This page explains what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. No tech jargon, just the facts.
These are the cookies that make our website actually work. Without them, you couldn't add items to your cart or complete an order.
Examples: Shopping cart contents, session management, security tokens
Duration: Usually deleted when you close your browser
Can you disable them? Not really, or the site won't work properly
These help us understand how people use our website. We use Google Analytics to see which products are popular and where people get stuck on our site.
Examples: Page views, time spent on site, traffic sources, popular products
Duration: Usually 2 years unless you clear them
Can you disable them? Yes, through browser settings or opt-out tools
These remember your choices so you don't have to keep setting them. Like remembering your language preference or that you've already seen our newsletter signup.
Examples: Language settings, newsletter preferences, theme choices
Duration: Varies, usually several months to a year
Can you disable them? Yes, but you'll need to re-set your preferences
These track your browsing to show you relevant ads. We might use them for retargeting campaigns or to measure ad effectiveness.
Examples: Ad targeting, conversion tracking, social media pixels
Duration: Varies, typically 30 days to 2 years
Can you disable them? Yes, and we'll ask for your consent first
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic and user behavior. Google has its own privacy policy that covers how they handle this data.
Social Media Platforms
If we have social media buttons or embedded content, those platforms may set their own cookies when you interact with them.
Advertising Networks
We may work with advertising partners who use cookies to show you relevant ads on other websites. You can opt out of these through industry preference centers.
Payment Processors
For non-COD payments, payment processors may set cookies for fraud prevention and security purposes.
Browser Settings
All modern browsers let you control cookies. You can block all cookies, only accept first-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close your browser. Check your browser's help section for instructions.
Our Cookie Banner
When you first visit our site, we'll ask for your consent for non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences anytime by clearing your browser data or contacting us.
Google Analytics Opt-Out
You can opt out of Google Analytics specifically by using their browser add-on or visiting their opt-out page.
Ad Opt-Outs
For advertising cookies, you can visit industry opt-out pages like aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu to control targeted advertising.
Essential Cookies Blocked
The website won't work properly. You can't shop, items won't stay in your cart, and you might have security issues.
Analytics Cookies Blocked
The site will work fine, but we won't be able to improve it based on usage data. No big deal for your shopping experience.
Preference Cookies Blocked
You'll need to re-enter preferences each time you visit. Annoying but not a deal-breaker.
Marketing Cookies Blocked
You'll still see ads, but they might not be as relevant to your interests. The site works normally otherwise.
How We Get Consent
We'll show you a cookie banner on your first visit explaining what cookies we use. Continuing to use the site means you're okay with essential cookies. We'll ask separately for marketing cookies.
Changing Your Mind
You can change your cookie preferences anytime by clearing your browser data, adjusting browser settings, or emailing us directly.
Policy Updates
If we change how we use cookies, we'll update this page and let you know if the changes are significant. The date at the top shows when we last updated it.
