Cookies Policy: The Digital Imprint of Your Journey

The Poetry of Digital Presence

In the physical world, artisans read the language of materials—how wood grain flows, how clay responds to pressure, how fibers intertwine. In the digital realm, cookies allow us to understand the subtle patterns of your engagement with our creative sanctuary.

This policy illuminates how these digital impressions work, what they gather, and how you can shape their presence in your journey through our site—honoring both the technical necessities of the web and your right to mindful navigation.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small digital signatures—delicate fragments of text that rest temporarily within your browser. Like the natural patina that develops on well-loved wooden objects, they record the memory of interaction, helping to create continuity in your digital experience.

These digital traces come in different forms, each serving a distinct purpose in the ecosystem of our site:

• Session Cookies: Ephemeral impressions that dissolve when you close your browser—like footprints in sand washed away by the tide.
• Persistent Cookies: More enduring marks that remain on your device for a specified period—like the subtle wear patterns that develop on handwoven textiles.
• First-Party Cookies: Created directly by our domain during your visit—like the maker's touch on a handcrafted vessel.
• Third-Party Cookies: Placed by our trusted partners—like the collaborative energies that sometimes flow into our creative work.

The Digital Traces We Gather

Just as we select materials with intention for our handcrafted pieces, we mindfully use cookies that serve specific purposes:

• Essential Cookies: These fundamental elements maintain the structural integrity of your browsing experience—remembering items in your cart or preserving your session state. Like the necessary joinery in woodworking, these cookies make function possible.
• Preference Cookies: These gentle remembrances preserve your chosen settings—like a well-worn tool that adapts to the hand that holds it. They allow our site to remember language preferences or text size adjustments.
• Analytical Cookies: These observant witnesses help us understand patterns of engagement—which pathways visitors follow, which content resonates, which areas invite deeper exploration. Like a craftsperson studying the response of materials, these insights help us refine our digital offering.
• Marketing Cookies: Used with restraint and respect, these connective threads help us share our creations with those who might find resonance in them. They allow us to reach individuals who have shown interest in handcrafted elements or natural materials.

Specific Cookies We Use

Your Choices: Shaping the Digital Clay

Just as we honor the inherent characteristics of natural materials in our craft, we respect your preferences regarding digital traces. You have several ways to shape how cookies interact with your journey:

• Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse certain cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. Like selecting specific tools for particular materials, these controls can be accessed through your browser's preferences or settings menu.
• Our Cookie Banner: When you first visit our site, you'll encounter a mindful invitation to consider your cookie preferences. This allows you to accept all, reject non-essential, or customize your cookie experience.
• Analytical Opt-Out: For Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Please note that restricting certain cookies may impact your experience of our site—just as removing certain elements from a well-balanced composition can alter its harmony. Essential cookies, in particular, are necessary for basic functionality.

Beyond Cookies: Other Digital Impressions

The digital landscape, like the natural world, contains diverse elements that interact in complex ways. Beyond cookies, our site may use:

• Web Beacons: Subtle digital markers that help us understand if emails have been opened or specific pages visited—like the nearly invisible signature a craftsperson might leave on their work.
• Local Storage: A different form of browser memory that allows for smoother experiences—like the way a well-conditioned wooden tool develops a relationship with its user over time.

These technologies follow the same principles of respect and purpose that guide our use of cookies.

The Living Nature of This Policy

Like the organic materials we work with, this policy may evolve over time in response to changing technologies and regulations. Significant changes will be communicated through updates to this page and notices on our site.
