This Cookie Policy explains how Abisabis Services Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. We comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK GDPR regarding the use of cookies and similar technologies.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your actions and preferences over time, so you do not have to re-enter them every time you return or move from page to page.
We also use similar technologies such as localStorage, a browser-based storage system that holds small amounts of data on your device. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not sent to our servers with each request — it stays on your device and is used purely to improve your browsing experience.
2. Types of cookies and local storage we use
Strictly necessary (no consent required)
These are essential for the website to function. Without them, core features like the shopping basket and secure checkout would not work. Under PECR, these do not require your consent.
| Name / Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| next-auth.session-token | Keeps you logged into your account | Session / 30 days |
| next-auth.csrf-token | Protects against cross-site request forgery | Session |
| next-auth.callback-url | Remembers where to redirect after login | Session |
| cart-items (localStorage) | Stores your shopping basket contents | Until cleared |
| wishlist-items (localStorage) | Stores your saved/wishlisted products | Until cleared |
| cookie-consent (localStorage) | Remembers whether you accepted the cookie banner | Until cleared |
| browsing-history (localStorage) | Stores recently viewed products for recommendations | Until cleared |
| admin_auth / admin_data (sessionStorage) | Admin dashboard session (admin users only) | Browser session |
Functional (consent required)
These help the site remember choices you make to give you a more personalised experience. These are only set with your consent.
We do not currently set functional cookies beyond the essential ones listed above.
Analytics (consent required)
These help us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it — for example, which pages are most visited and where people leave. If enabled, we use privacy-respecting analytics, and these cookies are only set with your explicit consent. We do not run intrusive tracking or profiling.
Marketing and advertising
We do not currently use any advertising, retargeting, or marketing cookies. We do not share your browsing data with advertising networks. If this changes in the future, we will update this page and request your consent before setting any such cookies.
3. Third-party services
Some cookies or scripts are set by third-party services that help us provide the site:
| Service | Purpose | Privacy info |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe | Payment processing and fraud prevention. Cookies are set only during checkout. | stripe.com/gb/privacy |
| WhatsApp (Meta) | Floating chat button. No cookies set until you interact with it. | whatsapp.com/legal |
| Google Fonts | Loading typefaces for the website design. No tracking cookies set. | policies.google.com/privacy |
4. How to manage cookies
You can accept or decline non-essential cookies through the banner shown on your first visit. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser cookies and localStorage, which will cause the banner to appear again.
You can also manage cookies directly in your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
To clear localStorage: open your browser's Developer Tools (F12), go to the Application or Storage tab, and clear localStorage for our site.
Please note: if you block or delete essential cookies or localStorage, parts of the site (such as the shopping basket, wishlist, or login) may not work as expected.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in the technologies we use or to comply with legal requirements. The most current version is always available on this page with an updated date.
