A cookie is a small amount of information that’s downloaded to your computer or device when you visit our Site. Cookies are harmless and occupy only a small space on your hard drive.
We use a number of different cookies, including functional (or technical), performance, and advertising cookies. The cookies are either first-party cookies, which are put on our Site by Shopify, or third-party cookies, which are managed and placed on our Site by third parties with our permission. The different cookies on our Site are used for the following purposes.
- Technical cookies are first-party cookies that are necessary/required for the proper functioning of the store, to provide our services and to protect our Site. These cookies make your experience on our Site better by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as items you have added to bag, login details and currency selection, etc.). This means you don’t have to re-enter this information each time you return to the Site or browse from one page to another.
- Performance cookies gather analytics and statistics on how our Site is performing, gaining valuable insight for us to make improvements and optimise our Site and services. These cookies provide information on loading speed and how people use the website, for instance whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor. We use data from vendors including, but not limited to, Shopify and Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel.
- Advertising cookies are third-party cookies used for marketing purposes (behavioural targeting ads). These third-party cookies track your online activities to deliver more relevant (personalised) advertising based on your interest, and also to limit the number of times you see an ad. We use third-parties including, but not limited to, Facebook Custom Audiences" and Google Ads to deliver targeted advertisements to individuals who visit our Site.
The length of time, or duration, that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years (at most) from the date they are downloaded to your device. You can also remove the cookies manually before the expiration date (see below).
Please see Shopify's Cookie Policy for more information about cookies and duration: https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies.
Please note that we have no control over the use of cookies and collection of Personal Information by third parties. Therefore, we recommend that you read their privacy policies.

You can control, manage and remove cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or disabling/blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible or function optimally.
When you visit our Site for the first time, a pop-up is displayed indicating that if you click the "accept"-button, you accept the cookies and plugins as described in the pop-up and this Policy. You can also choose to enable or disable cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. Here you can also remove the cookies manually. For more information about cookies and on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help file or through such sites as www.allaboutcookies.org.

Our Site is fully encrypted by using an SSL certificate to ensure that your connection to our Site remains private and secure, so that no data including your Personal Information, can be intercepted as it goes over the network.
An SSL certificate, which stands for "Secure Sockets Layer", is a security protocol and a small data file that has two important functions:
- Data Encryption: The SSL certificate enables encryption, which means that the sensitive information exchanged via the website cannot be intercepted and read by anyone other than the intended recipient.
- Authentication and Verification: The SSL certificate has information about the authenticity of certain details regarding the identity of a website, which it will display to visitors when they click on the padlock symbol or icon located beside the URL in the address bar. A trusted Certificate Authority (CA) determine if an SSL certificate should be issued to a website. The CA has to follow very strict rules and policies about who may or may not receive an SSL certificate.
Other security measures we take:
The Site may contain links to other sites or third-parties that are not operated by us. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content, privacy policies or practices of these linked sites. This Privacy Policy applies solely to Personal Information collected from you through the Site.
Your privacy and the protection of your Personal Information is of great importance to us. We do our best to ensure that your Personal Information is secure and protected against any loss, theft, alteration and unauthorised access, disclosure and use. Please note that no transmission of data over the internet is guaranteed to be 100% secure, and it may possible that third parties intercept, access or take control of Personal Information unlawfully. Therefore, regardless of all the precautions and security measures taken by us, we cannot ensure or guarantee the complete security of your Personal Information.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please review this page periodically to see any updates to the information provided here. Your continued use of our Site means you accept any changes to this Privacy Policy. Please refer to the “Effective Date” at the top of this page to see when this Policy was last updated.
