‍

Effective date: September 15, 2025

‍

This Cookie Policy explains how Yarsha Tea ("Yarsha Tea," "we," "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on www.yarshatea.com and related services. It works together with our Privacy Policy.

‍

What are cookies and similar technologies?

‍

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device.
Similar technologies include SDKs, tags, pixels, local storage, and device identifiers that perform a similar function.
Cookies can be first‑party (set by Yarsha Tea) or third‑party (set by a partner), and either session (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent (stay until they expire or you clear them).

‍

How we use cookies (categories)

‍

A. Strictly necessary (always on)

‍

Used to operate the site and checkout, provide security, load balancing, and record your consent choices. Without these, the site won’t function correctly. We don’t offer customer log‑ins or personal accounts at this time, so we don’t set account/session cookies.

Examples of uses: keeping your cart, processing orders, preventing fraud, remembering cookie preferences.

‍

B. Performance/Analytics (optional)

‍

Help us understand how the site is used (e.g., page views, scroll depth, referring pages) so we can improve navigation, content, and speed. Analytics cookies do not show you ads and we configure our analytics provider to limit advertising features. In the EU/UK, analytics run only with your consent.

Examples of uses: counting visits and traffic sources, measuring which pages are most popular, diagnosing errors.

‍

Your choices

‍

Browsers & devices: You can block/delete cookies via your browser settings and, on mobile, use your device’s ad/privacy controls. Blocking all cookies may break some site features.
Global Privacy Control (GPC): We will honor applicable browser‑based opt‑out signals if we introduce sale/share or targeted advertising in the future. Because we don’t use those technologies now, GPC has no additional effect beyond your cookie choices.

‍

Cookies we use

‍

The specific cookies may change as we improve the site. Typical entries include:

Strictly necessary set by Yarsha Tea / ecommerce platform: remembers your cart and checkout steps; balances traffic; records your cookie choices; expires in from session to 1 year
Performance/Analytics set up by Analytics provider (configured as our service provider/processor): aggregated site stats (page views, time on page, referring site) is used to improve content and navigation; expires in from session to 13 months

‍

Legal bases & regions

‍

EU/UK: we rely on consent for analytics cookies and legitimate interests for essential cookies needed to run the site.
United States and other regions: we use cookies as described. We do not sell or share personal information for cross‑context behavioral advertising.

‍

Managing retention

‍

Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose. We try to use the shortest practical lifetimes and aggregate analytics where possible. You can clear cookies at any time in your browser. For how long we keep related personal information, see our Privacy Policy.
