What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device so it can remember you. Similar technologies — localStorage, sessionStorage, and IndexedDB — do the same job. This policy covers both.
How we categorise them
- Strictly necessary — required for the site to function (authentication, cart, security). You cannot opt out without losing the ability to use the service.
- Functional — improve the experience (remember your favorites, keep your recently- viewed list). Disabling these will not break the site but may make it less convenient.
- Analytics — help us understand aggregate usage. We do not currently run any third-party analytics cookies. If that changes, we will update this page and, where required, ask for your consent before setting them.
- Marketing / advertising — we do not use any advertising, retargeting, or social-tracking cookies.
Cookies we set
| Name | Category | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| kg_cookie_consent | Strictly necessary | Records the choice you made on the cookie banner (accepted or rejected). Without this we would show the banner on every visit. | 180 days | Kiyani Galleria (first-party) |
| nhostRefreshToken | Strictly necessary | Stores the refresh token that keeps you signed in across visits. Without it you would be logged out on every page load. | 30 days (rolling) | Nhost (our auth provider) |
| nhostSession | Strictly necessary | Holds the short-lived JWT used to authorise GraphQL requests on your behalf. | Session / 15 minutes | Nhost |
| cms-active-section | Functional | Remembers which CMS panel an admin had open. Set only on the admin subdomain. | Persistent (localStorage) | Kiyani Galleria (first-party) |
Browser storage we use
Some of our state lives in your browser's localStorage rather than in a cookie. It never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers automatically.
| Key | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cart | Strictly necessary | Keeps the items in your cart available across page loads on this device. | Until cleared |
| favorites | Functional | Stores the product IDs you have marked as favorites when you are not signed in. | Until cleared |
| recently-viewed | Functional | Stores up to 12 recently-viewed product slugs so you can easily return to them. | Until cleared |
| deal-of-day-start:* | Functional | Anchors the deal-of-the-day countdown timer to a fixed start time per device. | 3 days |
Third-party services
We embed the following third-party resources that may set their own cookies:
- Google Fonts — fetched from
fonts.googleapis.comandfonts.gstatic.com. Google may log the IP address of the request but does not set tracking cookies on our site. - Image CDNs — product images are served from Nhost Storage; some marketing images come from Unsplash. These providers log the request but do not set cookies visible to the browser.
How to control cookies
You can manage or delete cookies directly in your browser:
- Chrome— Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari— Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox— Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge— Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Blocking the strictly-necessary cookies listed above will break checkout, account access, and the cart. If that happens, clear your site data and sign in again.
Do Not Track
Your browser's Do Not Track signal is respected where technically possible. Because we do not run cross-site tracking, the behaviour of Kiyani Galleria does not change based on this signal today.
Changes to this policy
When we add a new cookie, remove one, or change its purpose, we update this page with a fresh effective date. We recommend reviewing it when you next visit after a major site update.
