4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential store functions and improve your browsing experience.

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites recognize your browser and remember certain information.

We may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies: To enable core website functions, such as shopping cart features, checkout, and website security.
• Preference cookies: To remember certain preferences and improve your experience.
• Analytics cookies: To understand how visitors interact with our website and identify areas for improvement.
• Advertising cookies: Where enabled, to measure marketing performance and help show relevant advertisements.

Some cookies may be provided by Shopify or third-party services integrated into our store.

Depending on your location, you may be asked to provide consent before non-essential cookies are used. Where available, you can manage your cookie preferences through our cookie consent banner or preference settings.

You can also manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect some website functions.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including processing orders, providing customer support, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.

The length of time we retain information depends on the type of information, why it was collected, and any applicable legal requirements.

When information is no longer needed, we will take appropriate steps to delete it, anonymize it, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable laws and legitimate recordkeeping needs.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

Our store uses Shopify's ecommerce infrastructure, which provides security features to support online transactions and store operations. Payment information is also handled by the relevant payment providers according to their own security practices.

However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
