Cookie Policy
This site sets no cookies of its own by default, and the one kind it can set only runs if you agree to it. Here is exactly what it stores, and why.
Last updated 6 September 2026
The short version
Nothing on this site sets a cookie to advertise to you or to follow you between other websites. The only cookies possible here come from Google Analytics, and only if you tap “Accept” on the banner that greets a first-time visitor; tapping “Decline”, or simply not answering, means none are set. The Visit page also embeds a Google map, which may set its own cookies once it loads, described below. Everything else kept on your device is listed here in full and exists to make one small feature work.
If you accept: Google Analytics
Accepting the banner lets Google Analytics set a small number of cookies, typically named _ga and _ga_<container-id>, so Google can tell repeat visits from new ones and Seema can see, in aggregate, which pieces get looked at. Google, not by SEEMA, sets and reads these cookies, under Google’s own cookie policy.
Declining, or leaving the banner unanswered, means gtag.js — the script that would set these cookies — is never even requested. You can change your mind at any time with Cookie Preferences in the footer, which clears your earlier choice and brings the banner back.
Always on: Vercel Web Analytics
This site also uses Vercel Web Analytics, which counts page visits without setting a cookie or assigning any ID to your device. It has no cookie to opt out of, which is why it needs no place in the banner or the list below. See the Privacy Policy for what either tool can and cannot tell Seema.
What this site actually stores
If you tap “Add to Selection” on a piece, its slug (a short code such as sage-chikankari-set) is saved to your browser’s local storage under the key byseema:selection:v1, so your Selection is still there if you leave and come back. Local storage is technically different from a cookie: it stays on your device and is never sent automatically to any server the way a cookie is; it only reaches Seema if you choose to send it, by tapping Enquire or Reserve. It clears if you clear this site’s data in your browser.
Fonts
Cinzel, Cormorant Garamond and Jost, the typefaces used on this site, are Google Fonts, but they are downloaded once at build time and served from this site’s own domain, not Google’s. Loading a page here does not request anything from Google, and sets no font-related cookie or tracker.
Third parties
The Visit page embeds a Google map so you can see where the atelier is. It is the only thing on this site loaded from another company. It is set to load lazily, so it fetches nothing until you scroll down to it, and once it does load Google may set its own cookies inside that frame under its own policies, not ours. Everything else is a plain link: WhatsApp, Instagram and directions are links you choose to follow, and nothing from them loads here. Once you tap through, you are on their site and their policies apply.
Managing your browser storage
Blocking cookies in your browser will not break anything on this site: the Selection still works, since it is local storage, not a cookie, and Google Analytics simply never gets the chance to set one. If you would rather this site did not remember your Selection between visits, clear this site’s data in your browser settings, or simply do not add anything to your Selection.
Changes to this policy
This policy is updated whenever what the site actually does changes, most recently when Google Analytics was added behind the consent banner above. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
