Cookies help remember your preferences, keep you signed in and allow us to understand how visitors interact with our site.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies strictly for essential site functionality. We do not use any advertising or tracking cookies. All cookies and storage technologies on tantan.uk are necessary for the website to operate correctly, process payments securely and maintain your shopping experience.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential cookies: We use localStorage to store your basket contents, session information and stock data. These are necessary for the core shopping functionality of the website.
Firebase cookies: Firebase sets cookies for authentication and Firestore real-time data synchronisation. These allow us to manage user sessions and keep product and order data up to date in real time.
Stripe cookies: Stripe, our payment processor, sets cookies for payment processing and fraud detection. These cookies are PCI compliant and are essential for processing your payments securely.
Session cookies: We use sessionStorage for dashboard authentication. These are temporary and are cleared when you close your browser tab.
Third-Party Cookies
Our website uses services from third parties that may set their own cookies. These include Stripe (stripe.com) for payment processing and fraud prevention, and Firebase/Google (googleapis.com) for authentication and real-time database functionality. We do not control these third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective privacy policies of Stripe and Google for further details on how they use cookies.
Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete and block cookies from websites. Please note that if you disable cookies or clear your localStorage, some features of tantan.uk may not function correctly. Your basket contents may be lost and you may need to re-authenticate on subsequent visits. For instructions on managing cookies, please refer to your browser's help documentation.
localStorage Usage
In addition to cookies, we use localStorage (a browser storage technology that is technically separate from cookies) to store information on your device. We use localStorage for: basket contents so your items are remembered between visits, order history so you can review past purchases, stock levels to display accurate product availability, and product preferences to improve your browsing experience. This data remains on your device until you clear it manually through your browser settings.
