1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device - such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet - when you visit a website. They enable the Website to function properly, remember your preferences, and help us improve your shopping experience.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies – Essential for the Website to operate, including enabling you to log in, use the shopping cart, and check out securely.
- Performance / Analytics Cookies – Help us understand how visitors interact with our store so that we can improve site speed and navigation. We currently do not use any analytics cookies.
- Functionality Cookies – Remember your language, currency, and region, as well as items left in your cart between sessions.
- Advertising / Targeting Cookies – Set by Meta (Facebook and Instagram) to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to show you relevant ads. These are only set after you accept optional cookies.
- Payment Security Cookies – Deployed by our payment gateways (e.g., Stripe) to detect fraud and secure transactions.
- Social Media Cookies – Enable you to share products on social networks and interact with embedded content (e.g., Instagram feeds, TikTok videos). Embedded content is loaded only after you accept optional cookies.
3. Third‑Party Cookies
If you accept optional cookies, we load the Meta pixel from Meta Platforms Ireland Limited. It sets the cookies _fbp and _fbc on this website and allows Meta to recognise activity such as viewing a product, adding it to the cart, starting checkout and completing a purchase.
In addition, our server sends the same events directly to Meta through Meta's Conversions API. This happens only if you have accepted optional cookies. The data we send includes the products and amount of an order, the page address, your IP address and browser identification, and contact details in an irreversibly encrypted (hashed) form, such as your email address, phone number, name, city and country. We do not send Meta any payment details.
Our payment provider, Stripe, sets its own cookies to detect fraud and secure transactions. These are necessary for payments to work.
Meta and Stripe process this data under their own privacy policies, which we recommend you review.
4. Cookie Consent
When you first visit our Website, a cookie banner asks for your consent. Cookies that are not strictly necessary are only set after you choose "Allow all cookies". If you choose "Only allow essential cookies", no marketing cookies are set and no data is sent to Meta. You can use the shop either way.
Your choice is stored in a cookie on your device. To change it, delete the cookies for this website in your browser; the banner will appear again on your next visit.
5. How to Control or Disable Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to: view the cookies stored on your device, delete cookies, and block cookies from being set. Please note that turning off certain cookies—especially Strictly Necessary or Payment Security Cookies—may impact the functionality of the Website and your ability to complete purchases.
6. International Users
If you are accessing our Website from outside the UAE (e.g., the EU or UK), you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or UK GDPR. We extend the same consent and control mechanisms to all visitors to comply with these international privacy standards.
7. Updates to This Policy
We reserve the right to update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be posted on this page and we will update the 'Effective Date' at the top accordingly.
