Cookie Policy
Effective date: 1 January 2025 · Last updated: 28 June 2025
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them each time you revisit.
Similar technologies — such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage and session storage — work in comparable ways. In this policy, we use "cookies" to refer to all of these technologies collectively.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential / Strictly Necessary
Always ActiveThese cookies are required for the website to function. They enable core features like logging in, maintaining your shopping cart, and security. You cannot opt out of these — without them, some parts of the site will not work.
Functional / Preference
Can disableThese remember your preferences — such as your currency setting (INR/USD), cookie consent decision, and any UI preferences you have selected.
Analytics
Opt-out availableThese help us understand how visitors use our site — which pages are most visited, how long users stay, and where they came from. Data is aggregated and anonymised. We use this to improve the website experience.
Marketing / Advertising
Consent requiredThese track visits across websites to show you relevant advertisements. We use these only when you have consented. Currently this includes retargeting through Google Ads where applicable.
