1) What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, phone, tablet). They help the website work, improve your experience, and—if you allow—help us understand site usage and deliver relevant marketing.

Cookies can be:

  • Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser), or

  • Persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).

2) How we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for:

  1. Strictly necessary functions (site security, navigation, shopping cart, checkout).

  2. Analytics & performance (understanding how visitors use the site and improving it).

  3. Marketing (measuring ad performance and building audiences—only if you consent).

3) Cookies we use on this website

A) Strictly Necessary Cookies (always on)

These cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off from our side.

  • Crumb (session) — helps prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF).

  • CART (2 weeks) — indicates when a visitor adds a product to the cart.

  • hasCart (2 weeks) — tells the platform that the visitor has a cart.

  • CHECKOUT_WEBSITE (session) — helps identify the correct site during checkout when applicable.

  • Commerce-checkout-state (session, stored in sessionStorage) — stores checkout state while a visitor completes an order with PayPal.

Note: Other strictly necessary cookies may be set only if you use specific site features (e.g., customer accounts, pop-ups).

B) Analytics & Performance Cookies (optional)

These cookies help us understand traffic and usage so we can improve the site. They are only set if you consent (when a consent banner is enabled and configured to restrict non-essential cookies).

  • ss_cid (2 years) — identifies unique visitors and tracks sessions.

  • ss_cpvisit (2 years) — identifies unique visitors and tracks sessions.

  • ss_cvisit (30 minutes) — identifies unique visitors and tracks sessions.

  • ss_cvr (2 years) — identifies unique visitors and tracks sessions.

  • ss_cvt (30 minutes) — identifies unique visitors and tracks sessions.

C) Marketing Cookies (optional)

Marketing cookies help measure advertising performance and build marketing audiences. These are only used if you consent.

Meta Platforms Pixel cookies (first-party)

  • _fbp (90 days) — identifies browsers for advertising and site analytics services.

  • _fbc (up to ~90 days; created when you arrive via a Meta ad click parameter) — stores click information used for attribution.

Depending on your browsing context, additional cookies may be set by Meta on their own domains (third-party), which we do not control directly.

D) Consent preference cookies (optional, but stored to remember your choices)

If our site displays a cookie banner with categories, we store your preferences so the site remembers your choices:

  • ss_performancecookiesAllowed (30 days) — remembers whether you allowed analytics/performance cookies.

  • ss_marketingcookiesAllowed (30 days) — remembers whether you allowed marketing cookies.

4) Managing your cookie preferences

You can manage cookies in three ways:

  1. Cookie banner settings: Use the “Manage” or “Preferences” option (if shown) to accept/decline categories.

  2. Browser settings: You can delete existing cookies and block future cookies through your browser settings.

  3. Marketing opt-outs: You can manage ad preferences on Meta’s services in your Meta account settings.

Blocking some cookies may impact site functionality (especially cart and checkout).

5) Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or our use of cookies. The “Effective date” at the top indicates the latest version.
