Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to run the shop, keep you signed in, remember your cart, and (only if you agree) understand how the site is used. This policy sits with our Privacy Policy and POPIA.
Your choice
When you first visit, a banner asks you to allow all cookies or only essentials. Essential cookies are needed for the shop to work. Optional cookies are off unless you choose “I agree” / “Allow all”.
Cookies we use
| Type | Why we use them | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Session & security (essential) | Keep you logged in, protect forms, remember your cart, and complete checkout. The shop will not work properly without these. | session_id, frontend_lang, CSRF token, cart session |
| Cookie choice (essential) | Remember whether you allowed all cookies or only essentials, so we do not ask on every page. | website_cookies_bar |
| Preferences (essential) | Remember language and similar display choices. | frontend_lang |
| Analytics (optional) | Help us see which pages are used, if we add a stats tool later. Not loaded unless you allow all cookies. | Typical examples: _ga, _gid |
| Advertising (optional) | Used only if we later run ads. Not loaded unless you allow all cookies. | Typical examples: _gads, _gac |
Payment and other sites
When you pay, the payment provider (for example PayFast or Yoco) may set their own cookies on their pages. Couriers and email tools may do the same on their sites. Those cookies are covered by their policies, not this one.
How to change your mind
Open this Cookie Policy page to show the cookie banner again and pick a different option. You can also delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking all cookies will stop login, cart, and checkout from working correctly.
