Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to site owners.

Cookies allow a website to recognise your device and remember certain information, such as your preferences or what is in your shopping cart. They may be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services operating on that website (“third-party cookies”).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Eline uses the following categories of cookies:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They include:

• Session cookies — Maintain your session as you browse the site, ensuring pages load correctly.
• Authentication cookies — Keep you signed in to your account so you do not need to log in on every page.
• Security cookies — Help protect against cross-site request forgery and other security threats.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation:

• Preference cookies — Remember your settings such as language, currency, or display preferences.
• Cart cookies — Preserve the contents of your shopping cart between visits so you can pick up where you left off.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting anonymous usage data. We currently do not use third-party analytics services. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and ensure any data collected remains anonymous and aggregated.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Certain third-party services used on our website may set their own cookies:

• Stripe — Our payment processor uses cookies during the checkout process to enable secure payment handling and fraud detection. These cookies are essential to completing transactions safely. For details, see Stripe's Privacy Policy.

• View what cookies are stored on your device and delete them individually.
• Block third-party cookies.
• Block cookies from specific websites.
• Block all cookies from being set.
