01What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your phone, tablet or computer when you visit. They help the website work, remember your choices and give the site owner information about how it is used. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies). Others stay for a set time (persistent cookies).

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information.

05Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by services we use, such as analytics, advertising, payment, video or social media providers. These providers control their own cookies and have their own privacy policies. We do not control how they use data, so please read their policies.
06Similar Technologies
Besides cookies, we may use pixels (small invisible images), browser local storage and similar tools that work in a similar way. This policy applies to them too, and the same choices below help you control them.
07Your Choices and Consent
- When you first visit, you may see a cookie banner. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or choose which categories to allow.
- You can change your mind at any time by [using the cookie settings link in our footer] or by clearing your browser cookies.
- Essential cookies are always on because the website cannot work properly without them.
08Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most browsers let you see, block or delete cookies. You can usually find this in the browser’s Settings → Privacy or Security menu. You can also set your browser to warn you before a cookie is saved, or to block cookies from certain sites. Because browsers differ, please check the help section of your browser (such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge) for exact steps. You can also use your device settings to limit ad tracking on phones and tablets.
09What Happens If You Block Cookies
You can still browse our website if you block non-essential cookies. If you block essential cookies, some features may not work, for example your cart may not remember items, and checkout may fail. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies does not affect how the shop works.
10Do Not Track
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no common standard for how websites should respond, so we do not currently change our website in response to it. You can use the cookie controls above to manage tracking.
11Legal Basis
We use essential cookies because they are necessary to provide the service you ask for. We use analytics and marketing cookies only with your consent where the law requires it, for example for visitors in regions with cookie consent laws. Our handling of personal data follows the laws of Pakistan, including the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016 and the Electronic Transactions Ordinance, 2002, and we aim to follow widely accepted international practice.
12Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove tools, or when the law changes. The latest version is always on this page, with its last updated date.
