We use cookies and similar technologies to make our website work, understand how you use it, and improve your experience. This policy explains what cookies we use, why, and how you can control them.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the website owner.
Cookies can be "first-party" (set by PureHarvest directly) or "third-party" (set by our service providers). They can also be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (stored for a defined period).
Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. Where we say "cookies" in this policy, we mean all such technologies unless specified otherwise.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Keep your shopping cart items between sessions
- Remember your preferences (language, region)
- Understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
- Measure the effectiveness of our content and marketing
- Protect the security of your session
- Provide features like product search and the cart sidebar
We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information, to sell your data to third parties, or for purposes unrelated to operating and improving this website.
3. Types of Cookies
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features like cart management, security, and page navigation. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies.
Analytics & Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are visited, how long users stay, where they come from, and what they click. The information is used in aggregate to improve the website experience. We currently use PostHog for analytics.
Marketing & Advertising Cookies (Future)
We do not currently run paid advertising campaigns. When we do in the future, we may use cookies from platforms such as Meta (Facebook/Instagram) to measure the effectiveness of our ads. We will update this policy and seek appropriate consent before enabling any marketing cookies.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred category view or search terms) to provide a more personalised experience.

- PostHog — posthog.com/privacy

When you proceed to payment, Razorpay may set cookies necessary to process your transaction securely. These are strictly necessary for the payment flow.
7. Your Choices & How to Control Cookies
Browser Settings
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies currently stored on your device
- Delete cookies individually or all at once
- Block cookies from specific websites
- Block all third-party cookies
- Receive a warning before a cookie is stored
Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this website — your cart may not save between sessions, and some features may not work correctly.
Instructions for managing cookies in popular browsers:
Opt Out of Analytics
To opt out of PostHog analytics tracking, you can clear your cookies and browser data or use a browser extension that blocks tracking scripts (such as uBlock Origin). We plan to add an in-site cookie preference banner in a future update.
Mobile Devices
On mobile devices, you can manage cookie-equivalent settings via your device's privacy settings or by clearing app data in your browser app settings.
8. Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals.
At this time, our website does not respond to DNT signals. If an industry-standard approach is established, we will update our practices and this policy accordingly.
9. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our use of cookies evolves or as required by law. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Continued use of our website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
If we introduce new categories of cookies (such as marketing cookies), we will notify you prominently before enabling them and, where required, obtain your consent.
