Cookie policy
The small amount of browser storage KORD uses, what it's for, and your choices.
Keeping this simple
Some websites use cookies and similar browser storage to run properly and to track you across the web. KORD's use is on the modest end: we use what's needed to make the site work and keep it secure, and we don't want to track you around the internet. This policy explains, plainly, what we use and why. It's provided by KORD Ltd, New Zealand.
This is a plain-language starting point and should be reviewed by a legal professional before you rely on it as your final published policy.
What cookies and browser storage are
A cookie is a small piece of data a website stores in your browser, and there are related technologies that do similar things. They let a site remember information between pages and visits — without some of them, basic things like keeping items in a cart wouldn't work. They can also be used for analytics and advertising, which is the part people rightly care about.
What we use
- Essential storage — the storage needed for the site to function: keeping your cart, letting you move through checkout, and keeping your session secure. The site can't work properly without this, so it isn't optional.
- Security and integrity — limited storage and records used to keep the site secure and to prevent misuse, such as protecting the code and checkout system from abuse.
We keep this to what the store genuinely needs to run. Where we use anything beyond the essentials, we'll be clear about it.
What we try to avoid
We're not interested in following you around the web for advertising. Our aim is a store that works and respects you, not one that quietly builds a profile of your browsing. If that ever changes, we'll update this policy and make any non-essential storage a clear choice rather than a default.
Your choices
You can control cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you view, block or delete them. Bear in mind that blocking essential storage will stop parts of the site from working, including your cart and checkout, since those genuinely rely on it. That's a function of how the web works, not a trick on our part.
Changes
If we change how we use cookies or browser storage, we'll update this page. The version here reflects our current practice.
