Cookies Policy for Purespark
This page describes how purespark.world relies on small text files—commonly called cookies—and similar storage technologies so you can move through linen collections, save privacy choices, and complete checkout without losing context when your connection flickers. The explanations mirror what European regulators expect: plain words, clear purposes, and an honest distinction between essentials and anything optional we might add later.
What a cookie does here
A cookie is a short string your browser stores after our server asks it to remember something: that you acknowledged the privacy banner, that your cart holds a specific duvet weight, or that your session passed a security check. Similar technologies include local storage entries for larger drafts such as long messages to the studio team.
Most entries we set are first-party, meaning they belong to purespark.world itself. Third-party cookies appear only if we embed a trusted tool—such as a payment frame—and we list those partners separately when they apply.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies keep the site safe and usable. They help us balance traffic during launch weeks, remember that you completed multi-step checkout fields, and store the fact that you accepted this policy so the banner does not interrupt every screen while you compare pillow fills.
- Session continuity while you add items to a cart
- Fraud checks that protect both guests and payment partners
- Accessibility preferences such as reduced motion mirrors
Functional preferences
When you choose to remember a fiber filter, measurement unit, or studio location, we may store that preference so the next visit feels continuous. Clearing cookies resets those choices until you set them again.
Google Ads and conversion cookies
When we use Google Ads, Google may set or read cookies and similar storage to measure ad views, clicks, and conversions, cap how often you see an ad, and build aggregated audience segments. Categories can include identifiers tied to your browser or device, campaign parameters in URLs, and coarse location. You can review how Google uses data in Google’s Privacy & Terms and Ads Help, and adjust personalisation in your Google account.
Where Irish and EU law require consent for non-essential advertising storage, we surface a choice before those tags load. You may also clear site data, use browser controls, and visit youronlinechoices.eu for industry opt-outs.
Analytics we keep minimal or absent
Today we do not load pervasive cross-site analytics on catalogue pages. If we ever introduce privacy-preserving statistics—such as aggregated load times—we will name the tool, describe the data it sees, and request consent when the law requires it.
Server logs still record IP addresses in truncated form for security reviews; those logs are not marketing cookies and follow the retention rules in our privacy policy.
Payment and embedded services
Secure payment providers may set their own cookies when you open a checkout frame. Those partners publish independent policies and certifications; we only integrate providers who document how they minimise identifiers.
Duration and refresh cycles
Session cookies disappear when you close the browser, while persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them. Consent tokens typically refresh when we materially change this policy so you can review new details.
Managing cookies in your browser
Major browsers let you block third-party cookies, clear all site data, or set monthly clean-up routines. Doing so may log you out of draft messages or empty a cart if you have not completed checkout yet, which is expected behaviour rather than a fault.
- Use private windows when borrowing a shared device
- Disable cross-site tracking features offered by Safari, Firefox, or Edge
- Export favourites before wiping data if you rely on saved links
Do-not-track signals
Industry standards for browser do-not-track flags still vary. We treat respectful data practice as the baseline regardless of the flag, and we avoid optional trackers that would ignore your expectations.
Updates to this cookies policy
When we add a new embedded service or change how long consent tokens last, we revise this page, update the published date, and surface a concise notice if the change affects optional storage.
