Cookie policy
Last updated 2 September 2026
This website sets two cookies, both strictly necessary. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to — the law requires consent for cookies that are not strictly necessary, and we do not set any of those.
The basket cookie
| Name | vx_cart |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Identifies your shopping basket so it survives a closed tab. |
| Contents | 24 random bytes. No name, no email, no prices, no products — everything that decides what you owe lives on our server. |
| Lifetime | 30 days |
| Flags | HttpOnly · Secure · SameSite=Lax |
| Category | Strictly necessary |
HttpOnly means no script on the page can read it, which is what stops a cross-site scripting bug turning into a stolen session.
The market cookie
| Name | vx_market |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Remembers whether you chose INR or USD, so the store does not guess your market again on every visit. |
| Contents | The three letters INR or USD. Nothing else. |
| Lifetime | 180 days |
| Category | Strictly necessary |
Not HttpOnly, because there is nothing in it worth protecting and the page benefits from being able to read its own currency.
What we do not set
No analytics cookies. No advertising or retargeting pixels. No social media embeds. No session recording. No third-party script of any kind runs on the pages where you shop.
The payment provider sets its own cookies on its own page, once you are redirected there to pay. Those are governed by that provider's policy, not this one, and they never appear on this domain.
Refusing them
Your browser can block them. The site will still let you browse and search, but the basket will empty on every page load, and the store will re-guess your market from your connection each time instead of remembering what you picked.
