3. Why We Use Cookies
Site Functionality
Essential cookies keep your shopping cart active, maintain your login session, and ensure secure checkout. Without these, our store cannot operate.
Improved User Experience
Functional cookies remember your preferences so you don’t have to re-enter information on every visit.
Site Performance & Analytics
Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4) help us understand how visitors navigate our site so we can make improvements. All data collected is anonymized and aggregated — it is never used to identify individual users.
Advertising & Conversion Tracking
Marketing cookies (Meta Pixel) allow us to measure the effectiveness of our Facebook and Instagram ads. We use this data only to optimize our campaigns — we do not sell this data to third parties.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies:
PayPal & Payment Processors
Used to securely process transactions. These cookies are strictly necessary for checkout.
