- What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are utilised to make websites function efficiently, improve user experience, and provide analytical information to the website owners. - Managing Your Preferences (Cookie Banner)
We respect your privacy and provide you with control over the data collected during your visit:
Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary for the operation of our website, including core functionalities such as shopping basket processing and checkout operations. These do not require prior consent.
Non-Essential Cookies: We utilise non-essential cookies (such as analytical, performance, or preference cookies) only after you have explicitly interacted with our Cookie Banner and clicked the “Accept” button to grant your consent. If you do not click “Accept”, no non-essential cookies will be deployed to your device.
Modifying Consent: You can modify or withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your web browser settings to reject cookies.
- Types of Cookies and Retention Periods
In compliance with New Zealand and European data protection standards, we limit the storage duration of our cookies. Cookies used on our platform are classified into two categories based on their lifespan:
Session Cookies: These are temporary files that remain in your browser’s cookie file only until you close your browser. They enable core site functionality and expire immediately upon the termination of your browsing session.
Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a specified duration or until you manually delete them. These cookies help recognise you on subsequent visits to enhance your browsing experience.
In accordance with regulatory guidelines, our strictly necessary cookies remain active for the duration of the session or up to 12 months. Our functional and analytical cookies, which are used to understand aggregate visitor behaviour, monitor site traffic, and assess interface performance, are restricted to a maximum retention period of 13 months.
- Third-Party Cookies
To facilitate secure online commercial operations, our website utilises infrastructure supported by our designated payment infrastructure provider, Stripe.
Stripe deploys specific third-party cookies on our platform. These cookies are processed directly by Stripe to support fraud prevention mechanisms, monitor transactional validity, and assess risk parameters during checkout interactions. These operational tracking measures are required to maintain a stable transaction environment and to comply with financial operational standards.
- Controlling Cookies via Browser Settings
In addition to our on-site Cookie Banner, you can manage, block, or delete cookies directly through your web browser configuration. Please refer to your specific browser documentation (such as Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge) to adjust your preferences. Please note that restricting essential cookies may limit the operational functionality of our checkout process. - Policy Amendments
We reserve the right to revise this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in legal, regulatory, or operational requirements. Any updates will be published directly on this page with an amended revision date.
