1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used when you visit this website. It outlines the categories of cookies in use, their purpose, and how users may control their preferences in accordance with applicable data protection principles under European (including GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive) and Australian privacy requirements.

By continuing to browse the website, you may be presented with a cookie banner allowing you to make a choice regarding non-essential cookies. Non-essential cookies are only activated where a user selects the “Accept” option within the cookie banner.

2. What are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on a device when visiting a website. They help the website function, remember user preferences, and support limited analytics or checkout-related functionality.

Cookies may be either session-based (removed when the browser is closed) or persistent (remaining for a defined period unless deleted manually or automatically).

3. Categories of Cookies Used

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are mandatory for basic website functionality, security, and integrity. This category includes page navigation, form submission, session consistency, and essential fraud prevention and security signals handled by our payment processor, Stripe (such as identifying trusted devices and detecting unauthorized payment attempts). Under applicable European and Australian regulatory guidance, these cookies do not require prior user consent as they are strictly necessary to secure transactions and provide the service requested by the user.

3.2 Preference Cookies

Preference cookies store limited settings such as language selection or region display options, allowing the website to present content according to user choices. These cookies are activated only after consent is given via the cookie banner.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies collect aggregated information about how visitors interact with pages, such as navigation patterns and page performance. This information is used in aggregated form to understand usage trends and improve website presentation. These cookies are not activated unless consent is provided.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may originate from external service providers involved in supporting website functionality, including the Stripe payment gateway. These third-party cookies are controlled by their respective providers and are subject to their own policies regarding storage and usage.

Users are encouraged to review the relevant third-party cookie and privacy information provided by such providers where available.

5. Cookie Consent Mechanism

When visiting the website for the first time, a cookie banner is displayed. Users may choose whether to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Only after selecting the “Accept” option will non-essential cookies be activated.

Users may modify or withdraw consent at any time by adjusting browser settings or revisiting cookie preference options where available on the website.

6. Cookie Retention Periods

Cookie storage duration varies depending on type and function:

  • Session cookies: removed automatically when the browser session ends.
  • Preference cookies: typically retained for up to 6–12 months.
  • Analytics cookies: generally retained for up to 12 months.
  • Essential Security & Fraud Prevention cookies (Stripe): retained for the limited duration required to ensure transaction security and fraud mitigation, typically up to 24 months in accordance with Stripe’s technical and risk protocols.

Retention periods may vary depending on browser settings and provider-specific configurations.

7. Managing Cookies

Users may control or delete cookies through browser settings at any time. Most browsers allow users to block cookies entirely or delete existing cookies stored on a device. Disabling certain categories of cookies may affect website functionality, particularly during secure checkout-related sessions where fraud prevention verification is required.

8. Updates to this Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in operational requirements or applicable regulatory guidance in Europe and Australia. Any updated version will take effect upon publication on this website.
