This Cookie Policy explains how Flora The Gifting Studio(“Flora TGS”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies, browser storage, and related technologies when you visit our website, explore our floral and gift collections, build custom bouquets, or place orders.
We believe in complete transparency. Flora The Gifting Studio operates locally in Karachi, Pakistan, while serving customers globally across the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Australia, and Canada. We never sell your personal information or cookie identifiers. Non-essential cookies are only activated with your affirmative consent in compliance with the EU ePrivacy Directive (GDPR), UK PECR, California CCPA/CPRA, UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45/2021, and Australian Privacy Principles.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your browser, remember your preferences (such as selected currency, cart contents, or delivery zone), and ensure that essential features (such as secure checkout) operate reliably.
In addition to standard cookies, we may use related web storage technologies such as HTML5 Local Storage and Session Storage. These technologies store data client-side without sending it in every HTTP request header, ensuring fast page load speeds when building customized hampers or bouquets.
We group the cookies and storage mechanisms used on our website into four distinct categories:
Required for the essential functionality of our gifting boutique. These enable user account sessions, shopping cart continuity, security tokens (CSRF protection), and routing to secure payment gateways. The site cannot function properly without these cookies.
Enables personalized features such as remembering your selected currency (e.g. PKR, USD, GBP, AED, SAR, AUD), saving your custom bouquet builder state, and remembering preferred Karachi delivery time slots.
Collects aggregated, de-identified metrics on how visitors navigate our collections, load times, and checkout performance. This data helps us optimize website responsiveness and identify technical issues.
Used only with your affirmative opt-in consent to measure the performance of seasonal campaigns (such as Eid, Mother's Day, or Valentine's Day) and provide relevant floral inspiration on platforms like Instagram and Meta.
