Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use local storage, pixels, and similar technologies that work like cookies for session continuity and analytics.

2. Types of cookies we use

• Essential cookies — required for login, checkout, cart/session state, CSRF protection, currency/locale preference, and security. These cannot be disabled without breaking core features.
• Affiliate attribution — partner referral links may set a vynk_affiliate cookie (typically up to 30 days from first click) to attribute qualifying purchases.
• Preference cookies — remember language, currency, cookie consent choices, and UI preferences.
• Analytics cookies — optional tools that help us understand traffic, destination interest, and conversion funnels so we can improve the product.
• Marketing cookies — optional cookies used to measure campaigns or deliver relevant offers when enabled.
• Support widgets — chat tools such as Crisp may set cookies needed to operate live support when the chat is enabled.

3. Legal bases & consent

Essential cookies are used based on our legitimate interest in providing a secure, working storefront. Non-essential analytics/marketing cookies are used only where your consent is required and collected through our cookie preference controls.

4. Managing cookies

• Use the on-site cookie preference controls (where shown) to allow or reject optional categories.
• You can also clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent login, checkout, or account recovery.
• Third-party providers may offer their own opt-out tools for advertising identifiers.

5. Retention

Session cookies typically expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain for the period needed for their purpose (for example affiliate attribution windows or consent records) unless deleted earlier.

6. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when our tools or legal requirements change. Check this page periodically for the latest version.
