Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. They help us provide you with a better experience by remembering your preferences, keeping you signed in, and understanding how you use our platform.

How We Use Cookies

Essential Cookies

Required for basic functionality — authentication, security, and session management. These cannot be disabled.

How we measure the site

We count how many people arrive from each place that links to us — an Instagram post, a WhatsApp message, a search result — so we can tell which ones are worth repeating. This uses no cookie, no third-party script and no advertising network.

We also record what happens on the site — pages opened, searches that found nothing, the step of checkout someone stopped at — so we can find and fix what is broken. To follow one visit from start to finish, your browser is given a random identifier. It is a coin toss stored on your device, not derived from anything about you, shared with nobody, and connected to no advertising network.

What we never record: passwords, card details, your address, your phone number or anything you type into a form other than a search box. That is enforced in code on every event, not left to good intentions.

If you are signed in, this activity is linked to your account, so we can tell one person returning from two people arriving. It is still only ours — no advertising network receives any of it, signed in or not.

Opting out: if your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, we stop before anything is recorded. You can also clear your browser storage for this site at any time, which discards the identifier entirely — or use the switch below.

Preference storage

Your cookie choice, and small conveniences such as a remembered filter, are kept in your browser's local storage. They never leave your device and we cannot read them.

Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, blocking essential cookies may prevent you from using certain features like signing in or completing a purchase.

Third-Party Cookies

Stripe, our payment processor, sets its own cookies for fraud detection and security, governed by Stripe's privacy policy. That is the only third party that sets a cookie here, and the only one that sees anything about your visit to this site. We run no advertising pixel, no Google Analytics, no Meta pixel and no cross-site tracking of any kind, and we do not sell your data. The measurement described above is our own, stays on our servers, and can be switched off.

Separately from your browsing, our servers do pass some details to the companies that help us operate — an email provider to send your tickets, a payment processor to take payment. Those are listed in our privacy policy.
