Cookies & browser storage

Your basket

The store uses an essential cookie called lg_basket to authorise access to your basket. It is sent over HTTPS and cannot be read by page scripts. Its expiry is set when the basket session is issued; the final notice must state the configured duration.

A local storage entry called lovelygifts.basketId remembers the basket selected in this browser. It contains an identifier rather than your contact details or the complete basket. It has no automatic browser expiry and is removed when the app clears the selected basket, or when you clear site storage.

Product information

Session storage called lovelygifts.catalogue.v1 temporarily caches public product details. Entries older than five minutes are ignored. The browser normally clears session storage when the tab or browsing session ends.

Other cookies and your choices

Authentication and security services may also set cookies. Before launch, we must verify the cookies actually set by the deployed store and list their purposes and lifetimes, including those from account and payment services.

You can remove or block cookies and browser storage in your browser settings. This can prevent baskets or sign-in from working. Any optional storage that requires consent must remain off until you choose to allow it; this draft page does not itself provide a consent control.
