Cookie Policy

Last Updated: August 23, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Lumbini Tea House ("we," "us," "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on lumbiniteahouse.com (the "Site"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the Site to remember your actions and preferences over time, and they help us understand how visitors use our Site so we can improve it.

We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage, which we refer to collectively as "cookies" in this Policy.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for the Site to function. For example, they keep items in your shopping cart between pages and remember your login session if you have an account. These cannot be switched off, as the Site would not work properly without them.

We do not currently use analytics, advertising, or preference (functional) cookies. If that changes — for example, if we start using an analytics tool to understand Site traffic, or an advertising platform to run ads — we will update this Cookie Policy in advance and reflect that in the choices below.

3. Third-Party Cookies

We do not currently use any third-party analytics or advertising cookies (no Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or similar tools).

Orders are currently completed via bank/wire transfer arranged directly with our team, so no payment-processor cookies are set today. We plan to add online payment through eSewa and Khalti; once live, their cookies will be used only during checkout for fraud prevention and secure payment processing, and this Policy will be updated accordingly.

4. Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit our Site, you will be shown a cookie banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Since we only use strictly necessary cookies today, this choice has no effect on your shopping experience — it simply records your preference for if and when we introduce non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the Site footer.

You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of the Site, such as your shopping cart.

Common browser cookie controls:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

5. How Long Cookies Last

  • Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (typically ranging from 30 days to 2 years, depending on the cookie's purpose) or until you delete them manually.

6. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and technologies we use. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
