In plain English: Just like every Sugandhit candle is crafted with intention, we use cookies carefully and purposefully — only to make your shopping experience warmer, smoother, and more personal. We never sell your data. Ever.
This Cookie Policy explains how Sugandhit ("we", "us", or "our"), operating at sugandhit.shop, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
By continuing to browse and use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You can manage your preferences at any time through our cookie settings or your browser controls.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide website owners with useful insights.
Think of cookies like a notepad — when you visit Sugandhit and add candles to your cart, a cookie quietly notes that down so your cart is still there when you come back. Without cookies, you'd have to start over every single visit.
Alongside traditional cookies, we may also use local storage and session storage — similar technologies built into your browser that store small amounts of data to improve your browsing experience. These work in the same way as cookies and are governed by this same policy.
We use cookies on Sugandhit to:
✦ Keep your shopping cart intact — so your chosen candles are still waiting when you return

✦ Understand how visitors use our site — so we can improve it
✦ Show you relevant candles — personalised suggestions based on your browsing
✦ Measure the effectiveness of our offers — so we give you better deals
