Cookie Policy

We keep cookies to a minimum. We only use what is needed to run the website, keep you secure, and remember the choices you make. We do not use advertising cookies, and we never sell your data.

The website currently uses the following. All of it is strictly necessary — the site will not work without it.

• Logging in and staying secure — our platform (Base44 Auth) uses a cookie to keep you logged in to your GUSDA account and to protect against misuse. This is always on.
• Your basket — a small store in your browser keeps the items in your basket as you browse, so nothing is lost when you move between pages.
• Your consent record — when you make a choice on the cookie banner, we save that choice in your browser so we don't ask you again until the policy changes.
• Images and logos — our photos and the GUSDA logo are hosted on Google's media service so they load quickly. No tracking is involved.
• Payments — when you check out, our payment provider (Stripe) processes your card on Stripe's own secure pages. Stripe sets its own cookies during checkout, which Stripe manages under its own policy.

Everything the site uses today is strictly necessary, so it runs without asking permission. There are no optional or analytics cookies in use right now. If we ever add one, we will ask for your consent first and update this page.

When you first visit the website, you will see a cookie banner. You can accept all, reject non-essential cookies, or open your preferences to choose. Rejecting is as easy as accepting — it takes one click.

You can change your mind or withdraw consent at any time by selecting the 'Cookie preferences' link in the footer of any page.

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. The links below explain how in the most common browsers:

• Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
• Mozilla Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data.
• Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions.

Because everything we use today is essential, blocking it may stop you from logging in, using the basket, or completing a purchase. Blocking the consent record simply means the cookie banner will appear again on your next visit.

If we add or change anything described here, we will update this page and change the 'last updated' date at the top. If the change is significant, we will show the cookie banner again so you can make a fresh choice.
