1. What cookies do here
A cookie is a small piece of information a website asks your browser to store. Central Gemstone uses a session cookie so the site can remember your sign-in, shopping cart, and security checks as you move between pages. Similar browser or network information may be used to keep the service working and investigate errors.
2. Essential website cookies
| Cookie or technology | Purpose | Where used |
|---|---|---|
| cg_store_session | Maintains your cart, customer sign-in, and form security token. | Central Gemstone storefront |
| cg_admin_session | Maintains a separate protected admin or supplier session. | Admin subdomain only |
| Browser cache and CDN delivery | Helps deliver product images and video efficiently. | Media delivered through Bunny.net |
These functions are needed for the corresponding service. Blocking the session cookie may prevent sign-in, checkout, cart use, or secure form submission.
3. Payment and external services
When you open an enabled PayPal checkout, PayPal may use its own cookies or similar technologies to operate its payment window, verify a transaction, and prevent fraud. If you follow an Etsy, WhatsApp, social media, or courier link, the destination site may set its own cookies. Review those providers’ notices for details.
4. Your controls
Most browsers let you view, delete, or block cookies in browser settings. You can also clear a signed-in session by signing out. Blocking essential cookies can affect site functions. The storefront does not currently use its own advertising or behavioral analytics cookies; if optional tracking is added, this policy and any required choices will be updated.
5. Questions and updates
