2. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work,
to enable core functions (like keeping items in your cart), and to provide reporting information.
We also use similar technologies such as pixels (web beacons), local storage and session storage,
SDKs, and device identifiers for related purposes.

3. Why we use them (purposes)

  • Strictly necessary – enable core shopping features: cart, checkout, account login, security, load balancing.
  • Functional – remember preferences such as currency, language, region, cookie choices, and store notices.
  • Performance/Analytics – understand how our site is used (pages visited, clicks, errors) to improve usability and performance.
  • Marketing/Advertising – deliver relevant offers, measure campaign effectiveness, and avoid showing the same ads repeatedly.
  • Fraud prevention & security – detect unusual activity and help protect payments and accounts.

4. Legal basis & consent

Under Singapore’s PDPA and South Korea’s PIPA, we rely on consent (where required) and on legitimate interests for certain
essential processing. Strictly necessary cookies are used to operate the site and do not require consent.
For other categories (e.g., analytics/marketing), we request your consent via our cookie banner.
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time (see Section 7).

5. The cookies we set

The tables below list common cookies used on our store. Names, providers, and durations can vary depending on your configuration,

6. How long do cookies last?

Cookies can be session (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (stored for a fixed period).
Durations above are typical; third parties may change them. We aim to keep persistent cookies only as long as necessary.

7. Managing your cookie preferences

  • Cookie banner: Use our banner to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies by category.
  • Change/withdraw consent: You can revisit the banner at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in our footer.
  • Browser controls: Most browsers let you block/delete cookies. See your browser’s Help for instructions
    (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). Blocking some cookies may affect site features.
  • Do Not Track: Our site does not currently respond to DNT signals (see Section 10).

8. Interest-based advertising choices

If we use advertising partners, you can manage ad personalization via platform controls (e.g., Google Ads Settings, Meta Ad Preferences)
and your device’s ad settings. Opt-outs are browser/device-specific and may rely on cookies, so you may need to repeat them across devices.

9. International transfers

Some third-party providers process data in other countries. Where applicable, we implement safeguards such as contractual protections.
See our Privacy Policy for more information.

10. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” (DNT). Because there is no industry standard for DNT signals, our website does not respond to them.
You can control tracking through the cookie banner and your browser settings.

11. Updates to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. Changes take effect when posted on this page
with a revised “Last updated” date. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent again.
