9. Current Cookie List
The specific cookies used by the Website may change as we update WordPress, WooCommerce, security features, payment methods, analytics services, or other plugins.

Not every cookie described in this policy will be active during every visit. The cookies placed depend on the pages you visit, the features you use, your location, and your consent selections.
10. Cookie Duration
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies: Deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: Remain until they expire or are manually deleted.
Retention periods depend on each cookie’s purpose and provider. Necessary shopping-cart or login cookies may last only for a session, while preference or analytics cookies may remain longer.
11. Managing Cookie Preferences
Where a cookie-preference tool is available, you may use it to:
- Accept nonessential cookies
- Reject nonessential cookies
- Select specific cookie categories
- Change or withdraw a previous choice
A Cookie Settings or Manage Cookies link should remain available in the Website footer so you can revisit your choices.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are required to provide the Website or a feature you request.
12. Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to:
- View stored cookies
- Delete cookies
- Block cookies
- Block third-party cookies
- Receive a warning before a cookie is stored
Browser controls vary. Consult your browser’s help menu for instructions.
Blocking all cookies may affect shopping carts, account access, forms, checkout, and other Website features.
13. Global Privacy Control
Some browsers or extensions can send a Global Privacy Control or similar opt-out preference signal.
Where legally required and technically applicable, we will process qualifying browser-based signals as requests to opt out of covered sales, sharing, or targeted advertising.
Additional information about privacy rights and requests appears in our Privacy Policy.
14. Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because no single response standard applies in every jurisdiction, the Website may not respond to all Do Not Track signals.
We will honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals where required.
15. International Visitors
Cookie requirements differ by location.
Where applicable law requires prior consent, we will seek consent before activating nonessential analytics, advertising, or similar cookies.
Visitors should be able to reject nonessential cookies as easily as they accept them and should be able to change their choices later.

We may update this Cookie Policy when:
- Website features change
- Plugins or service providers change
- New cookies are introduced
- Cookie purposes or retention periods change
