Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how AFFBIRD LLC uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) on our website, what they do, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences (such as your cart contents or login state) over time, so you do not have to re-enter them on every page. We also use browser local storage, which works similarly but stores data in your browser rather than sending it with every request.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary

These are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off. They include:

• Session cookie — keeps you logged in and maintains your cart and checkout state.
• Security cookie — protects against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and other attacks.
• Preference storage — remembers that you have dismissed the cookie notice.

Performance and analytics

These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are popular and where errors occur — so we can improve it. The data is aggregated and does not directly identify you.

Functionality

These remember choices you make, such as your preferred currency or recently viewed services, to provide a more personalised experience.

Third-party cookies

Some features rely on third parties who may set their own cookies, including:

• Payment processors (e.g. Stripe, PayPal) — for fraud prevention and secure payment processing during checkout.
• Content delivery networks (e.g. Google Fonts, Font Awesome, Swiper) — to serve fonts, icons and scripts efficiently.

We do not use cookies to sell your personal information or to serve you third-party advertising.

3. How Long Cookies Last

• Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies and local storage remain for a set period (for example, your cookie-notice preference) or until you clear them.

4. Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close the browser. The exact steps vary by browser — see your browser's help pages for Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will break core functionality such as logging in, keeping items in your cart, and completing checkout.

5. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no common industry standard for how to respond, our site does not currently alter its behaviour in response to such signals.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the current version.
