Cookie Policy (GDPR Compliant)

Last Updated: 19 March 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website when accessed by users in the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA). It describes the categories of cookies we use, their purposes, and how you can manage or withdraw your consent at any time. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you browse a website. They allow the website to recognize your browser, store preferences, and understand how visitors interact with the site. Cookies may be set by us (“first‑party cookies”) or by third parties (“third‑party cookies”), such as Shopify or analytics/advertising partners.

Some cookies are essential for the proper operation of our website. All other cookies require your prior consent under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. How We Obtain Your Consent

When you first access our website from the EU/EEA (and other regions where consent is required), a cookie banner appears and allows you to:

  • Accept all cookies
  • Decline all non‑essential cookies
  • Manage preferences by category

We do not use non‑essential cookies (including analytics or marketing) unless you actively opt in. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the “Cookie Settings / Cookie Preferences” link in the website footer. This action reopens the same dialog and lets you adjust your choices.

Technical note: Our site is configured so that non‑essential cookies remain off until consent is given. We also implement Google Consent Mode v2 with a default “denied” state, which instructs Google tags not to use analytics or advertising storage before you have granted consent.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Required – Consent Not Required)

These cookies are essential for the website to function and can’t be disabled in our systems. They enable functions such as:

  • Logging into customer accounts
  • Securing checkout
  • Shopping cart and order processing
  • Fraud prevention and platform security

Because they’re necessary to provide the services you request, they do not require consent.

B. Personalization / Functional Cookies (Consent Required if used)

If enabled, these remember your actions or settings to enhance your experience (e.g., language or region). They run only after you provide consent in the banner.

C. Analytics Cookies (Consent Required)

These help us understand how visitors interact with the site so we can improve performance and usability (e.g., pages visited, time on site, device/browser data).

  • Provider: Google Analytics 4
  • How it loads: via Shopify’s Google & YouTube app pixel
  • Default state: Off until you opt in (also enforced by Consent Mode v2 “default denied”)

D. Marketing / Advertising Cookies (Consent Required)

If enabled, these allow us and approved partners to deliver personalized ads and measure campaign performance (e.g., Google Ads / Meta Pixel). They run only if you opt in.

Note: If we introduce new advertising or retargeting technologies in the future, we will update this Policy and obtain your prior consent before they operate.

4. Third‑Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by trusted third parties who provide services such as hosting, analytics, and advertising. Current key partners include:

  • Shopify International Ltd. – platform hosting; strictly necessary storefront features
  • Google LLC – Google Analytics 4 and (if enabled) Google Ads; only after you opt in

We do not permit third parties to use cookies for purposes beyond what is necessary to provide services to us.

5. Cookie List and Retention Periods

Because our store is powered by Shopify, many essential cookies are managed by the Shopify platform. For a full, always‑updated list of Shopify cookies, see:
https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies

Any additional cookies (e.g., Google Analytics 4 or advertising pixels) are displayed in our cookie banner under their categories with the provider names and retention periods. GA4 cookies typically persist for up to 24 months, depending on configuration and consent.

6. How to Change or Withdraw Consent

You can change or withdraw consent at any time using the “Cookie Settings / Cookie Preferences” link in our website footer. This reopens the consent dialog.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as an opt‑out request where applicable.

7. International Data Transfers

Our service providers, including Shopify and Google, may process your personal data outside the EU/EEA (e.g., Canada and the United States). Such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and other GDPR‑compliant measures.

8. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our cookie practices, our service providers, or legal requirements. The updated version will be posted on this page with the revised date at the top.
