Cookie policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let a site remember things between pages and visits — for example, that you are signed in, or what is in your cart. “Similar technologies” means things like local storage and pixels that do a comparable job. Some are set by us (first-party) and some by the trusted providers we use (third-party), such as our payment gateway or analytics.

How we use cookies

We keep our use of cookies deliberately small. We use them to run the core parts of the site — keeping you signed in, protecting the sign-in flow, and processing payments — and, only with your consent, to understand how the site is used so we can improve it. We do not use advertising or cross-site marketing cookies, and we do not sell your data.

Types of cookies we use

1. Strictly necessary

These are required for the site to work and cannot be switched off through a consent choice, because without them core features would fail. They do not track you across other websites.

• A secure session cookie that keeps you signed in after you log in, so you do not have to re-enter your password on every page. It is set as HttpOnly (not readable by page scripts) and rotates for security. Signing out clears it.
• A short-lived security cookie used only during “Continue with Google” to protect that sign-in against cross-site request forgery. It is removed as soon as sign-in finishes.
• Your shopping cart is stored on our servers against your session rather than in a separate tracking cookie, so it is preserved while you browse and shop.

2. Analytics (used only with your consent)

With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are viewed, roughly where traffic comes from, and where people run into trouble — so we can improve it. This data is used in aggregate. You can decline or withdraw this consent at any time (see “Managing your cookies” below), and doing so does not affect the essential features of the site.

3. Payment (third-party, during checkout)

When you pay, our payment gateway, Razorpay, may set its own cookies on the payment step to process the transaction securely and help prevent fraud. These are governed by Razorpay’s own cookie and privacy policies. We do not receive or store your full card, CVV or UPI credentials.

Managing your cookies

You are in control of non-essential cookies. You can accept or decline analytics cookies, and change your choice later, through the cookie/consent controls on the site where offered, and through your browser settings. Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies from the “Privacy” or “Cookies” section of their settings, and can warn you before a cookie is set.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will break core features — for example, you may not be able to stay signed in, sign in with Google, or complete a purchase.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by the providers we rely on to run the service, such as our payment gateway and analytics provider. We do not control those cookies directly, and their use is governed by each provider’s own policies. The providers we use are listed in the “Who we share your data with” section of our Privacy policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices or the law change. We will revise the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, take additional steps to inform you where required.
