1. What Are Cookies & Web Storage?
Cookies are small data files placed on your device by your browser. We also use browser LocalStorage and SessionStorage to maintain your shopping cart items, regional preferences, and active authentication state without transmitting excessive network data.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
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.
Analytics & Performance Cookies
Help us understand aggregated traffic patterns, popular heritage product categories, and page loading speeds to optimize system performance.
Social Media & Integration Cookies (Meta / TikTok)
Used when you interact with Facebook or TikTok share buttons, embedded reels, or authenticate using social single sign-on.
3. Cookie Retention Periods
Session cookies expire as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined duration (typically between 30 days and 12 months) or until you clear your browser cache.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
