1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to keep you signed in. We also use related browser storage technologies (such as local storage and session storage) for similar purposes — for example, to remember the items in your cart.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies only to operate and improve our Website. Specifically:

• Strictly necessary — to keep you signed in, secure your session, remember your shopping cart, and process your order securely. The site cannot function correctly without these.
• Preferences — to remember choices you make, such as product filters and how you like products displayed.
• Payment — our payment provider (Razorpay) sets cookies on its own checkout to process your payment securely and prevent fraud.

We do not currently use advertising, marketing, or third-party tracking cookies, and we do not sell your data.

3. Cookies We Set

• Authentication / session cookies — set when you create an account or sign in, to keep you logged in securely.
• Admin session cookie — used only by our staff to access the admin area.
• Cart & preference storage — stored in your browser to remember your cart contents and display preferences.

4. Third-Party Cookies

When you pay for an order, you interact with Razorpay's secure checkout, which may set its own cookies governed by Razorpay's privacy and cookie policies. We do not control these cookies.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and set most browsers to block them. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Website — such as signing in or completing checkout — from working properly.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
