Cookie Policy

This website uses cookies and similar storage so the shop can remember a cart, keep you signed in, and understand whether a page loaded correctly. This page says what those cookies are for on this store. It does not list tools used by any other website.

What a cookie is here

A cookie is a small text file that your browser stores when a page asks it to. Some cookies last only until you close the browser. Others stay until a date written into the cookie or until you delete them. Similar storage, such as local storage, can hold a short value for the same kinds of reasons. When this page says “cookie,” it includes that similar storage where the site uses it for the same job.

Cookies this store relies on

The cart uses cookies so the items you added are still there when you move from one page to another. Without them, checkout cannot see what you meant to buy. A typical cart cookie records that a cart exists. It does not contain your card number.

If you sign in, WordPress uses a login cookie so you stay signed in while you look at your account. There is also a cookie that helps the site check that a form was sent by you and not by another site. These cookies are part of running the account. If you block them, sign-in and checkout can fail.

The store may remember a preference such as a notice you dismissed. That cookie is a convenience. The site still works if it is missing, although the notice may appear again.

What we do not use cookies to do

We do not use cookies on this shop to sell a profile of you to other companies. We do not ask you to paste a cookie into an email. Payment card data is handled by the payment provider on the checkout flow, not stored in a cart cookie.

If a third-party script is added later, for example to measure traffic, this page will be updated to name it and to say what it stores. Until that update, do not assume an advertising network is present.

How you can control them

You can delete cookies in your browser settings and you can block new ones. If you block the cart and login cookies, you will need to accept them again before you can check out or stay signed in. Blocking a preference cookie only means the site forgets that preference.

Browser makers each put the controls in a different menu. Look for privacy or site data in the browser you use. A private-browsing window also starts without the cookies from your usual window.

Questions about a cookie you see on this domain can be sent to owalalife@gmail.com. Tell us the cookie name if your browser shows it. We will say whether it belongs to the cart, the login, or something we no longer use.

On a shared computer, sign out when you finish and clear the site data if other people use the same browser profile. The login cookie is what keeps the account open. Leaving it in place lets the next person see the account until the cookie expires or you sign out.

A cookie that has already been stored does not disappear only because this page changed. Delete existing cookies in the browser if you want a clean start. The next visit will set a new cart cookie only when you add an item or open checkout.
