Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 9, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Imperial Porcelain House LLC uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. Cookies let a site remember your actions and preferences — the contents of your shopping cart, your language, whether you are logged in — so you do not have to re-enter them on every page. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels; in this policy we refer to all of them as “cookies”.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies to keep the store working (cart, checkout, security), to remember your preferences, and — only if you agree — to understand how the site is used and to measure our advertising.
3. Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are set when you add an item to your cart, log in, or complete a purchase. Without them the store cannot process an order.
| Cookie | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| woocommerce_cart_hash | Keeps track of the contents of your cart | Session |
| woocommerce_items_in_cart | Indicates whether the cart contains items | Session |
| wp_woocommerce_session_* | Links your cart and checkout data to your session | 48 hours |
| wordpress_logged_in_* | Keeps you signed in to your account | Session / 14 days |
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie preferences | 12 months |
| __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid | Fraud prevention and secure payment processing (Stripe) | 1 year / 30 minutes |
Functional cookies
These remember choices you make, such as currency, language or recently viewed products. Without them some conveniences are lost but the store still works.
| Cookie | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| woocommerce_recently_viewed | Shows products you have recently looked at | Session |
Analytics cookies
These help us understand which pages are visited, how visitors move through the site and where problems occur. The data is aggregated and used to improve the store.
| Cookie / provider | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_* (Google Analytics 4) | Distinguishes visitors and measures site usage | Up to 2 years |
Marketing cookies
These are used to measure the performance of our advertising and, where applicable, to show you relevant ads on other platforms.
| Cookie / provider | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| _fbp (Meta) | Measures ad performance and conversions | 3 months |
| _gcl_au (Google Ads) | Attributes conversions to advertising campaigns | 3 months |
4. Your choices
When you first visit the site, a banner lets you accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or choose categories individually. Strictly necessary cookies are always active. You can change your decision at any time by clicking “Cookie settings” in the footer, or by clearing cookies in your browser.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings — Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge all provide this under privacy or site settings. Please note that blocking necessary cookies will prevent the cart and checkout from working.
5. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Where your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information under applicable US state privacy laws.
6. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties such as Stripe, Google and Meta. We do not control those cookies; their use is governed by the privacy policies of the providers concerned.
7. Changes to this policy
We update this policy whenever the cookies we use change. The date at the top always shows when it was last revised.
