1. What cookies we use
We use a small number of cookies and equivalent browser storage. They fall into two groups.
| Name / type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential — session, CSRF, cart, cookie choice | Keep you signed in, protect forms from cross-site request forgery, remember cart contents and your cookie preference. The store cannot work without these. | Session to 12 months |
| Analytics — page views, referrer, device class | Understand which pages help people choose a product. Set only after you click "Accept all". IP addresses are truncated before storage. | Up to 13 months |
We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not sell any data collected through cookies.
2. Your choice
The banner on your first visit lets you accept all cookies or essential only. Essential cookies are always set because the site cannot function without them; analytics cookies are set only with your consent.
To change your choice, clear this site's data in your browser and reload — the banner will reappear. You can also block cookies entirely in your browser settings, though sign-in and cart will then stop working.
3. Cookies inside the products
Once you sign in to a product dashboard, additional essential cookies maintain your session and workspace selection. These are covered by the same policy and by our Privacy Policy.
4. Third parties
Payment pages are hosted by our gateways (Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal) and set their own cookies under their own policies during checkout. Embedded videos, where present, are served with cookies disabled until you press play.
