Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 05, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Shyam Gifts uses cookies and similar technologies on our website.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website recognize your device and remember information about your visit. In addition to cookies, we use browser localStorage to store certain data locally on your device.
Cookies & Technologies We Use
Essential Authentication Cookies
We use a secure authentication cookie (sb-shyamgifts-storefront-auth) to keep you logged into your account as you browse our website. This cookie is essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled.
Shopping Cart (localStorage)
We store your shopping cart items in your browser's localStorage under the key shyam_gifts_cart_v1. This allows your cart to persist when you refresh the page or return to the site later. This data is stored entirely on your device and is not sent to our servers until you proceed to checkout.
Payment Processing
When you make a payment through Razorpay, Razorpay may set cookies on their domain as part of the secure payment process. We do not control these cookies. Please refer to Razorpay's privacy policy for more information.
First-Party Analytics (localStorage + server beacon)
We store an anonymous identifier (sg_vid) and a tracking cooldown timestamp (sg_last_track) in your browser's localStorage. On your first visit (and approximately every 4 hours thereafter), your browser sends a small, anonymous beacon to our own server containing: the anonymous identifier, your browser's user-agent string (from which we derive device type, browser, and operating system), and the referrer if you arrived from another website. No cookies are set. This data is used solely to understand traffic patterns and is automatically deleted after 90 days. We do not share this data with third parties.
What We Do Not Use
We do not use any of the following on our website:
- Analytics or tracking cookies (e.g., Google Analytics)
- Advertising or marketing cookies
- Social media pixels or trackers
- Third-party cookies for profiling or retargeting
Managing Cookies & Storage
You can control cookies and localStorage through your browser settings:
Please note that disabling essential cookies or localStorage may prevent you from logging in or using the shopping cart.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or our practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
