Cookie Policy for DRESSTORES

This Cookie Policy explains how DRESSTORES ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. By using our website or proceeding to checkout, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. What Are Cookies:

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make ecommerce websites function securely, maintain your shopping bag across pages, authenticate your account, and prevent fraudulent payment transactions.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use:

We use the following categories of cookies on our platform:

• Strictly Necessary & Storefront Cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our store and cannot be disabled. They include _medusa_cart_id (maintains your active shopping bag), _medusa_jwt (keeps you signed in to your account), and _medusa_region / _medusa_locale (stores your United States / USD region and language settings).
• Payment Security & Fraud-Prevention Cookies (Stripe, Inc.): Our payment processor, Stripe, Inc., places strictly necessary security cookies during browsing and checkout to detect and prevent card fraud via Stripe Radar and support 3D Secure authentication:
  • __stripe_mid (Duration: 1 year) — Unique machine identifier used by Stripe for fraud prevention and device fingerprinting across checkout sessions.
  • __stripe_sid (Duration: 30 minutes) — Session identifier used by Stripe to evaluate transaction risk during an active checkout session.
• Analytics and Performance Cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our catalog and pages so we can improve site speed, navigation, and reliability.
• Functionality & Preference Cookies: Allow our website to remember your recently viewed items, wishlist state, and display preferences.

3. Third-Party Cookies:

In addition to our own storefront cookies, trusted third-party providers — specifically Stripe, Inc. for payment processing and fraud prevention (see Stripe's Cookie Policy) — may set cookies on your device when you interact with our checkout pages.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences:

You can manage, block, or delete cookies through your web browser settings. Please note that blocking strictly necessary storefront or Stripe security cookies may prevent you from adding items to your bag or completing a card payment at checkout.

5. Updates to This Cookie Policy:

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technology, payment security requirements, or applicable laws. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
