How we use cookies.
Effective Date: April 28, 2026
Last Updated: April 28, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Flomaru Inc. ("Flomaru," "we," "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on flomaru.com. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy and our Terms.
Most cookies are small files dropped on your device by a website you visit. Some keep things working — like your cart and your sign-in. Others help us understand how the site is used, and a few help us reach the right people with our ads. You're always in charge of which categories you allow.
Your choices, in plain English
You can update your cookie preferences any time — . Your choices apply across the site and are remembered for 12 months.
If you're visiting from Quebec: by default we don't fire anything beyond strictly necessary cookies until you explicitly turn the other categories on. This is because Quebec's Law 25 requires opt-in consent for personal information, and we treat tracking identifiers like personal information.
Everywhere else in Canada and the US: analytics, marketing, and functional cookies are on by default and you can opt out of any of them through cookie settings. We'll review this default as Canadian privacy guidance evolves.
Global Privacy Control (GPC): if your browser sends a GPC signal we treat it the same way we treat a Quebec visitor — analytics and marketing stay off until you turn them on.
Strictly necessary
These cookies keep the site working. Without them you can't sign in, hold items in the cart, or check out. They don't track you across sites and we can't switch them off.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
flomaru_session | Flomaru (first-party) | Keeps you signed in and remembers your cart while you browse. | Session |
flomaru.cookieConsent | Flomaru (first-party) | Stores your cookie preferences so we don't keep asking. | 12 months |
Analytics
These help us see which gifts people love, how they get from the homepage to checkout, and where the site is hard to use. The data is aggregated and not used to identify you personally.
Anonymous traffic and behaviour data.
Page views, clicks, scroll depth, and aggregated session recordings — never your name, address, or anything you typed.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_*, _gid, _gat | Google Analytics 4 | Aggregated traffic and behaviour analytics. No personal identifiers. | Up to 2 years |
ph_*, distinct_id | PostHog | Product analytics — which gifts people view, where the site is hard to use. | Up to 12 months |
_clck, _clsk, MUID | Microsoft Clarity | Anonymous session recordings to spot UX issues. | Up to 12 months |
Marketing
These let us show Flomaru on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok — and measure whether the ads we run are bringing people the gifts they want. Turning this off doesn't reduce the ads you see across the web; it just means the ones we serve won't be tailored to Flomaru.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_fbp, _fbc | Meta Pixel | Show you Flomaru on Instagram and Facebook with gifts you might like, and measure whether ads are working. | Up to 90 days |
_ttp, tt_* | TikTok Pixel | Same as Meta Pixel, but for TikTok. | Up to 13 months |
Functional
These remember your preferences (language, currency) and load the address picker. Optional, but the site feels less polished without them.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
NID, OGPC | Google Maps | Loads maps and the address picker on the site. | Up to 6 months |
i18nextLng, flomaru_currency | Flomaru (first-party) | Remembers your language and currency between visits. | 12 months |
How to manage cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through the privacy settings menu. Doing this through your browser will affect every site you visit, not just ours. Here are the official guides:
"Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information"
Flomaru does not sell your personal information for money. We do allow Meta and TikTok to set advertising pixels on our pages when you've opted in to marketing cookies — under California's CCPA/CPRA this counts as "sharing." If you'd like to opt out, turn off the Marketing category in or send a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser — we honour both.
Third-party policies
When third-party cookies are active, those companies handle the data they collect under their own privacy policies:
- Google — Analytics, Maps
- Meta — Facebook & Instagram pixel
- TikTok — TikTok pixel
- PostHog — product analytics
- Microsoft — Clarity session recordings
Updates to this policy
When we add a new cookie or change how an existing one is used, we'll update this page and reset the version stamp on stored consents — which means we'll re-prompt you on your next visit. The "Last Updated" date at the top of the page tells you when the most recent change was made.
