Cookies are small text files stored on a user’s device when visiting a website. They are utilized to support essential website functionality, safeguard transaction environments, improve usability, and collect structured information regarding website usage. - Types of Cookies Used
The website utilizes the following categories of cookies to ensure a secure and seamless user experience:
- Essential and Security Cookies: Required for core website operation, identity verification, and financial transaction security.
- Functional Cookies: Supporting specific website features and preserving user preferences.
- Analytical Cookies: Utilized to understand aggregate website usage patterns and optimize performance.
- Third-Party Security Cookies: Provided through external verified infrastructures, including Stripe, used explicitly for fraud prevention and payment integrity.
- Third-Party and Payment Security Cookies
To guarantee payment safety and comply with international financial regulations, certain strictly necessary cookies are deployed by our authorized payment service provider, Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively “Stripe”).
These cookies are fundamentally utilized to support secure payment-related functions, conduct real-time risk assessments, enable automated fraud prevention screening (such as device fingerprinting), and facilitate transaction processing activities. Because these cookies are vital to maintaining operational integrity and protecting against financial fraud, they operate under our legitimate legal interest to secure transactions. Stripe processes such data in accordance with its own privacy and security protocols.
- Cookie Retention Periods
Cookie storage duration strictly depends on their designated type, legal basis, and operational purpose:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary and are removed automatically from your device once the browser session ends.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain stored on your device for a limited, predefined period ranging from a few days to several months depending on their structural function (e.g., maintaining secure login or cart states).
- Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies: Retained for a specific duration necessary to ensure compliance with risk management and anti-fraud auditing requirements, in full accordance with applicable regulations.
Users maintain the right to delete cookies manually at any time through their personal browser infrastructure settings.
- Consent Management and Cookie Banner
The website utilizes a verified cookie consent banner framework to enable users to manage their operational privacy preferences dynamically:
- Non-essential cookies (such as analytical or optional marketing trackers) are only activated when a user explicitly selects the “Accept” option in the cookie banner. Users may choose to decline these non-essential cookies or adjust their configurations at any time.
- Essential cookies, including payment security and anti-fraud cookies required to complete secure transactions and protect website stability, do not require prior user consent under applicable data protection frameworks and remain operational to preserve transaction safety.
- Purpose of Cookie Usage
Cookies are deployed on this website strictly for:
- Enabling and stabilizing core website operational functionality.
- Supporting secure, encrypted payment-related routing and transactional processes.
- Mitigating financial risks, identifying automated bots, and executing anti-fraud screening.
- Improving overall website usability and reviewing general usage patterns for internal structural analysis.
- Updates to This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically to strictly reflect evolving operational requirements, technical security enhancements, or international regulatory changes. The most recent authorized version will always be accessible directly on the website. - Contact
