Clear or block storage from your browser at any time — the store still works.

What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a site stores on your device. We also use two related browser technologies: local storage, which keeps data on your device until you clear it, and session storage, which is wiped when you close the tab. Throughout this policy, "cookies" covers all three.
How we use them
- To sign you in and keep your session alive as you move between pages.
- To protect checkout and account pages from cross-site request forgery.
- To remember your cart, wishlist, and in-progress designs if you leave and come back.
- To remember whether you prefer the light or dark theme.
- To measure, in aggregate, which pages and products people use.
Categories we use
| Category | Purpose | Can you turn it off? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Authentication, session security, fraud prevention, and load balancing | No — the store cannot function without them |
| Functional | Cart and wishlist contents, saved designs, theme preference | Yes, but you will lose these conveniences |
| Analytics | Aggregate, pseudonymous usage measurement | Yes |
| Advertising | Not used — we run no ad or cross-site tracking cookies | Not applicable |
The cookies and keys we set
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sb-access-token | Cookie — necessary | Holds your signed-in session token | 1 hour |
| sb-refresh-token | Cookie — necessary | Renews your session so you are not signed out mid-visit | 30 days |
| theme | Local storage — functional | Remembers your light or dark mode choice | Until cleared |
| vibewearz-cart | Local storage — functional | Keeps your cart when you are not signed in | Until cleared or you sign in |
| vibewearz-wishlist | Local storage — functional | Keeps your wishlist when you are not signed in | Until cleared or you sign in |
| vibewearz-customizer | Local storage — functional | Saves your in-progress design so a refresh does not lose it | Until cleared |
When you sign in, your local cart and wishlist are merged into your account and cleared from your browser. When you sign out, both are cleared again so nothing is left behind on a shared device.
Third-party cookies
- Signing in with Google sets cookies on Google's domain during authentication, governed by Google's own privacy policy.
- Our payment processor may set cookies during checkout to detect fraudulent transactions.
- Our analytics provider sets a pseudonymous identifier to count returning visits in aggregate.
We do not permit these providers to use your data to build advertising profiles.
Managing cookies
Every major browser lets you view, block, and delete cookies and local storage from its privacy settings, and offers a private browsing mode that discards them when you close the window.
What breaks if you block them
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will sign you out and prevent checkout. Blocking functional storage means your cart, wishlist, saved design, and theme will not survive a page refresh.
We honour Global Privacy Control signals for non-essential storage. You can also opt out of analytics with your browser's Do Not Track setting.
Changes to this policy
If we add or remove cookies, we will update the tables above and revise the date at the top of this page.
