Cookie Policy
How NWESTA uses cookies on this website. Last updated 9 June 2026.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that this website stores on your device. They let us remember things like whether you are signed in and what is in your cart. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to work. Others are optional and exist to help us understand how visitors use the site.
Categories
We group cookies into three categories. You can accept or reject each category independently using the controls below or via the banner that appears on your first visit.
Essential cookies (always on)
Required for the site to function. Without these the cart cannot persist, sign-in cannot work, and checkout cannot complete. These cannot be disabled.
Functional cookies (optional)
Remember preferences like recently viewed products and saved address suggestions. The site works without them; it's just less convenient.
Analytics cookies (optional, off by default)
Anonymous usage data — which pages get viewed, where visitors come from, how long a session lasts — that helps us improve the site. We do not use analytics cookies to identify you personally, and we do not share data with advertising networks.
Cookies we currently set
NWESTA today sets only essential cookies. If we add analytics or functional cookies in the future, this table will be updated and (for non-essential additions) we'll ask for your consent before setting them.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| payload-token | Keeps an admin user signed in to the Payload admin (used only at /admin). | 7 days | Essential |
| nwesta-customer-token | Keeps a customer signed in to their account, cart, and order history. | 30 days | Essential |
| nwesta-cart-session | Identifies an anonymous cart so its contents survive page reloads before sign-in. | 30 days | Essential |
| nwesta-cookie-consent | Stores your cookie preferences so we do not show you the banner repeatedly. | 1 year (localStorage) | Essential |
Third-party cookies
When you complete a payment, you will be briefly redirected to our payment provider (Razorpay for India, Stripe for international). They set their own cookies in their own domain to fulfil the transaction. Those cookies are covered by their respective privacy policies — please refer to them directly.
Change your choice
You can change your cookie preferences at any time.
