Cookie Policy

OHPHAMMER uses essential cookies and similar browser-storage technologies to operate the online store, maintain baskets and support secure checkout. Our website currently does not use optional analytics or advertising tracking cookies.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored by a browser. Other technologies, such as local storage and session storage, may also retain information required for website functionality.

2. Essential storage

Necessary storage may help:

• Keep products in a shopping basket.
• Maintain checkout sessions.
• Support authentication.
• Protect payment transactions.
• Remember permitted cookie preferences.
• Maintain basic website security.

Essential technologies are used where legally permitted without consent because they are necessary to provide services requested by users.

3. Storage used by this store

• gia-cart: local storage containing product references and quantities for your basket. It has no automatic expiry and remains until cleared or replaced.
• gia-cookie-preferences: local storage recording your essential-only preference. It has no automatic expiry and remains until cleared or replaced.
• gia-checkout: essential session storage holding payment-recovery references, not card details. It allows us to check a payment after reloading checkout in the same tab. It is removed after confirmed payment or when the tab session ends.

4. Optional statistics

Optional analytics cookies are not enabled by this store. We do not use Google Analytics, visitor trackers or marketing measurement tools. If they are introduced later, we will update this policy and implement the consent required by law.

5. Optional marketing

The store does not enable optional advertising or marketing cookies, and does not use Meta Pixel, Google Ads tags or other tracking tools.

6. Stripe

Stripe may use cookies or similar technologies to support secure payment processing, session management and fraud prevention. Relevant information is available through Stripe's published cookie policy.

7. Cookie preferences

You can review the available preferences at any time on our cookie settings page. If non-essential tracking is introduced, users must be able to give or withdraw consent where required.

8. Browser settings

Browsers permit users to review, block or delete cookies. Disabling necessary storage may interrupt basket, login or checkout functionality.

9. Do Not Track

Browser Do Not Track settings are not governed by a universal response standard. Because this store does not run optional tracking, there is no optional tracking for such a setting to change.

10. Data protection

Personal data processed through cookies is handled according to the privacy policy, applicable US privacy and electronic communications legislation.

11. Changes and contact

Material changes to cookie usage will be reflected in an updated policy.
