Our website uses cookies (not the edible kind) for analytics and performance tracking. These help us understand how visitors find and use our site so we can improve your experience.

 

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Orders require payment through Stripe, which helps ensure that customers are adults. If you believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

  • Request access to the data we hold about you.
