How we use cookies and tracking

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences over time. We also use local storage and IndexedDB (browser-based storage) for cart data and preferences — these are similar in function but are not technically cookies.

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with our site. The data collected includes:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Approximate geographic location (country, region, city — derived from IP, anonymised)
• Device type, browser, and operating system
• Traffic source (direct, search, referral, social)
• Aggregated statistics (total visits, bounce rate, conversion events)

Google Analytics stores data on Google's servers (primarily in the United States). We have enabled IP anonymisation. We do not share personally identifiable data with Google Analytics. You can learn more about how Google handles data at policies.google.com.

We use the Meta Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and show relevant ads to people who have visited our site. The Pixel collects:

• A unique device ID (stored in your browser)
• Page view events (which pages you visited)
• Conversion events (add to cart, checkout, purchase)
• Your IP address (used for geographical targeting, not shared with us in identifiable form)

Meta processes this data on servers in the United States and Ireland. You can learn more about Meta's data practices at facebook.com/policy.php.

We use browser-based storage (IndexedDB and localStorage) for:

• Cart contents — so your cart persists across sessions without needing an account.
• Theme preference (light/dark mode).
• Sidebar open/closed state on admin pages.
• Cookie consent preference — so we remember your choice.

This data is stored only on your device and is not sent to any server unless you choose to sync your cart (when logged in).

When you first visit our site, a cookie consent banner appears. You can choose to:

1. Accept all cookies — analytics and advertising cookies will be enabled.
2. Reject non-essential cookies — only essential and functional cookies will be used.
3. Manage preferences — select which categories of cookies to enable individually.

Your choice is saved in local storage and remembered on future visits. You can change your preference at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer.
