Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Dhokra Handicrafts uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

2. Why do we use cookies?

Essential browser storage supports your cart, sign-in, saved favourites and cookie choices. Optional analytics through Google Analytics, Google Merchant Center and Shopify, and advertising on this website and at Shopify checkout, are off until you choose to enable them. Refusing either optional category does not prevent shopping.

• Essential storage: Cart and sign-in identifiers, saved favourites and your cookie preferences. We use browser storage as well as cookies.
• Analytics and shopping performance: Allows Google Analytics, Google Merchant Center and Shopify analytics to measure visits, product-listing performance and checkout. Our shared Google tag sends website activity, such as page views and engagement, to Analytics and Merchant Center. Website cart events are directed to Analytics. Google advertising personalization and signals remain off on this website.
• Advertising and data sharing: Allows Meta to measure Facebook and Instagram ad interactions and provide relevant ads on this website. At Shopify checkout, it permits first- and third-party marketing and sharing shopping activity with connected advertising services, including Meta and Google, for ad measurement and relevant ads. This can include page visits, product identifiers, checkout activity, order value and currency, together with browser and cookie identifiers. Meta checkout measurement requires both analytics and advertising consent. This choice does not subscribe you to email or SMS.

3. How can I control cookies?

Use Cookie settings in the footer to accept, reject or choose optional categories at any time. Choices are saved in this browser for up to 180 days. If browser storage is blocked, your choice applies to the current visit and we may ask again on a later visit.

Withdrawing consent stops future tracking by this site and removes accessible first-party Google Analytics or Meta cookies for the rejected category. It does not delete information already received by providers. Your browser offers additional cookie and storage controls; blocking essential storage can affect cart or sign-in persistence.

We pass your current analytics choice to Shopify when preparing your checkout link. Your advertising choice controls Shopify's marketing and sale or sharing of data permissions; declining it keeps both off. Optional checkout preferences stay off. Essential checkout and payment processing remain necessary to place an order. Changing your choice refreshes the link before you can use it again; if that refresh fails, use Refresh cart.

A checkout already open in another tab is not updated by this website. Use its privacy controls or return here and open checkout again after changing your choice. Shopify and payment providers also have their own controls and policies. Because advertising now includes Shopify checkout marketing and third-party data sharing, earlier cookie choices are not automatically reused; please make a fresh choice. Obsolete optional choices are removed without clearing your cart, account or saved favourites.

4. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
