1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. On your next request the browser sends it back, which is how a site can tell that two requests came from the same person - without it, the web has no memory and every page load would look like a brand new visitor.
Cookies cannot execute programs, read other files on your device, or carry a virus. They only hold text.
2. The cookies we set
We keep this deliberately minimal. There is one cookie, it is strictly necessary, and it does not track you across other websites.
| Name | Purpose | Type | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
GOLDENONE_SID |
Identifies your session on our server. It is what keeps your shopping cart filled as you move between pages, keeps you signed in, and carries the anti-forgery token that protects your forms. The cookie itself holds only a random identifier - no name, email or address. | Strictly necessary | When you close the browser |
Because this cookie is strictly necessary to provide a service you have asked for -
a working cart and a working sign-in - it does not require consent under standard
cookie rules. It is set with the HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax
flags, and with the Secure flag when the site is served over HTTPS.
3. What we do not use
We think it is worth being specific about the absences, because most sites of this kind carry all of the following:
- No advertising cookies. We do not run retargeting or build ad audiences.
- No analytics cookies. No Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no heatmap or session-recording tool.
- No social media cookies. Links to our social profiles are plain links; they set nothing until you click them and land on that platform.
- No cross-site tracking. Nothing we set can follow you to another website.
This is also why you do not see a cookie consent banner on this site. There is nothing to consent to.
4. Local storage
Separately from cookies, your browser has a store called localStorage. This site does not rely on it: the cart, wishlist and sign-in state all live on our server, keyed to your session. If a previous version of this site left data in localStorage, it is unused and clearing your browser data will remove it.
5. Third-party resources
Two things on our pages are loaded from other domains, and it is fair to name them:
- Google Fonts (
fonts.googleapis.com,fonts.gstatic.com) - the typefaces used across the site. - Cloudflare CDN (
cdnjs.cloudflare.com) - the Font Awesome icon set.
Neither sets a cookie for us, but loading a file from any server necessarily reveals your IP address to it. Those providers have their own privacy terms. Product photography may also be served from image hosts where a supplier provided a hosted image rather than a file.
6. How to control cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings:
- Chrome - Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies / Site data
- Firefox - Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari - Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge - Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Be aware of the trade-off: if you block our session cookie, the cart will empty on every page load and you will not be able to stay signed in or submit a form. Nothing will be broken maliciously - the site simply has no way to recognise you between requests. Browsing the catalogue still works.
Using your browser's private or incognito mode is a good middle ground: the cookie works normally during your visit and is discarded when you close the window.
7. Changes and contact
If we ever add a cookie - for example an optional analytics tool - we will update this page and add a consent mechanism before setting it, not after. We will not quietly start tracking you.
