Cookie Policy

1. What a cookie is

A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to remember — a bookmark the site leaves for itself. It can’t run programs, can’t read your files, and can’t see other sites’ cookies. What it can do is remember things between page loads, which is the only reason a shopping cart survives you wandering off to compare mug designs for twenty minutes.

2. The cookies this site uses

Worth repeating from our Privacy Policy: this store has no customer accounts, so there are no login cookies and nothing here identifies you by name. The cart cookie knows you want the 15oz with the fox on it; it doesn’t know who you are.

3. How long they stick around

The cart cookie retires itself after 14 days — leave mugs in the cart longer than that and they’ll have wandered off when you return. Session cookies die with the browser tab. Analytics and advertising cookies follow their providers’ own expiry schedules, which you can cut short at any time using the methods below.

4. Turning cookies off

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies for a single site or for everything: look under Settings, then Privacy (Chrome and Firefox call it “Cookies and site data”; Safari puts it under “Privacy”). Two honest notes before you flip the switch. Blocking all cookies here means the cart can’t hold items between pages, so ordering becomes impossible — the cart cookie is load-bearing. And for advertising specifically, Google’s own Ads Settings page gives you a more surgical opt-out than blanket blocking.

5. Cookies that aren’t ours

During checkout, PayPal sets its own cookies to run the payment step securely — those live under its domain and its privacy policy, not ours. The same goes for any analytics or advertising cookies set by Google. We chose these partners; we don’t control their cookie internals, so their policies are the authoritative word on what each file does.
