Saffron Lane Boutique uses a short list of cookies and browser storage items. Essential ones keep you signed in, remember your cookie choice and keep your bag. Analytics cookies and any marketing tags load only after you agree. This page lists every item by name, explains what it does and shows how to change your choice.
What cookies and local storage are
A cookie is a small text file a website saves in your browser. Local storage is a similar space in your browser that only this site can read; it is not sent to our servers with every request. We use both, and we treat them the same way under this policy and under the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data.

Analytics and marketing tags
Analytics or marketing tags, such as Google Analytics 4 or the Meta pixel, load only after you accept analytics or marketing cookies. None are configured on this demo store by default. If they are added, they will be listed here and will remain blocked until you consent.
Website activity in SmartPOS
Separately from cookies, our shop records pages and products viewed, searches and orders first-party in SmartPOS, our own point-of-sale system, to understand which pieces are popular and improve the shop. This data is not sold. The anonymous visitor ID and campaign source are added only when you have consented. More detail is in our Privacy Policy.
How to change your choice
- Open the cookie settings link in the footer of any page.
- Turn analytics or marketing on or off.
- Save. Your new choice is stored in
sf_consentand applies straight away.
You can also delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, you will not be able to sign in, and your bag may not be kept between visits.
Changes to this policy
If we add or remove a cookie or storage item, we update the tables above and the date at the top of this page.
