Cookie Policy

Last updated: November 1, 2026

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. They let a site remember you between pages and visits. We also use your browser's local storage in a similar way, so this policy covers both.

Types We Use

Essential. These are needed for the site and its referral credit to work. The cookie banner does not switch them off:

• session_token: keeps you signed in.
• google_oauth_state: protects the "Continue with Google" sign-in. It lasts a few minutes.
• Cart contents (local storage): remembers what is in your cart.
• cookieConsent (local storage): remembers your cookie choice.
• affiliate_attribution and referral_code: set only if you arrive through an affiliate or friend's link, so the right person is credited if you buy. They last up to 30 days and are not used for advertising.

Analytics. These are off until you accept them:

• Google Analytics (_ga and related cookies): tells us which pages are visited, so we can improve the store.
• pk_vid: a first-party analytics cookie that lasts 1 year. It holds a random code, so we can count unique visitors and visits. It contains no personal information (no name, email address or IP address) and is never linked to your account or your orders. It is set only after you accept analytics cookies, and removed if you withdraw.

Marketing. These are off until you accept them:

• We do not currently run advertising cookies. If we add any, they will load only if you have accepted marketing cookies.

Third-Party Cookies

• Paddle: our payment partner may set cookies when you open the checkout, to process your payment and prevent fraud.
• Google Analytics: only if you accept analytics cookies.
• YouTube and Vimeo: some product pages have a video. Nothing loads from these services until you press play. Pressing play opens their player, which may set its own cookies under their own privacy policies.

These companies have their own privacy and cookie policies.

How to Manage Cookies

You can change your choice on this site at any time with the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

If you block essential cookies, signing in and checkout will not work.

Cookie Consent

On your first visit we show a banner with three choices: Accept, Reject and Manage Preferences. Analytics and marketing cookies stay off unless you accept them. Your choice is saved in your browser, so the banner does not show again on that device.
