We categorize cookies into four functional tiers:

Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

Essential for core site navigation, secure checkout, shopping cart persistence, and CSRF security token verification. These cannot be disabled.

Authentication & Security Cookies

Used to remember your logged-in vendor or super admin session (`auth_token`, `admin_session`) and safeguard your account against unauthorized access.
