1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, improve browsing experience, and provide essential security.
Modern web applications also utilize Browser Local Storage (`localStorage`), which allows data to be stored securely within your browser without sending it over the network on every server request. This provides faster loading times and ensures your shopping basket is saved while you browse our gift collections.
2. Our Privacy-First Technical Stance
Zero Tracking & Zero Marketing Cookies
GlowPrint Boutique Ltd believes in respectful, privacy-first commerce. We do not use any marketing, advertising, profiling, or cross-site tracking cookies. We do not deploy third-party trackers such as Google Analytics, Meta (Facebook) Pixels, TikTok Pixels, or Hotjar on our store.
Because we use only strictly necessary and functional technical storage required to operate the shop, under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR, a disruptive cookie consent pop-up banner is not legally required. However, we believe in full transparency regarding every technical mechanism used.
3. Detailed Technical Inventory of Storage Used
The table below provides a factual breakdown of the storage keys currently utilized on our storefront:
| Storage Key / Cookie | Type & Location | Purpose & Function | Duration | Classification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| glowprint-cart-storage | Browser Local Storage | Saves your active shopping basket, selected item quantities, and custom personalisation notes between page views so your cart remains intact as you browse. | Persistent until cleared by user or checkout completion | Strictly Necessary |
| glowprint_store_lang | Browser Local Storage | Remembers your chosen display language preference (e.g. English, Romanian, French, German, Italian, Spanish) for on-the-fly store translation. | Persistent until browser cache is cleared | Functional (Preference) |
| admin_session_token | HTTP-Only Secure Cookie | Used exclusively by authorized store managers when accessing the administrative portal (/admin) to verify session security. Not set for regular store shoppers. | 24 hours (SameSite=Strict) | Strictly Necessary (Admin Only) |
| nf_jwt | HTTP Secure Cookie (Netlify Edge) | Associated exclusively with temporary Netlify password protection while the boutique is in Private PRE-LAUNCH mode. This cookie is not a permanent mechanism for public store shoppers and will be removed once the boutique transitions to public status. | Temporary / Pre-Launch Session Only | Temporary Pre-Launch Access |
Pre-Launch & Post-Launch Policy Notice:
The nf_jwt cookie is used exclusively for site access verification during the private staging phase. When the store is launched to the public, this Netlify password protection will be removed. This Cookie Policy will be re-verified and updated upon public launch and following the live activation of card payments via Stripe.
