Cookie Policy

Last updated: 27 October 2026

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, phone or tablet) when you visit. They let the site remember your actions and preferences, make it work properly and, where you allow it, help us understand how it is used. This policy also covers similar technologies such as local storage, pixels and tags, which we call "cookies" below.

2. Who we are

This website, https://www.republic.boutique, is operated by Boutique Republic (Pvt) Ltd, 81/A Temple Road, Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte, Nugegoda, Nawala, Sri Lanka ("we", "us"). Email: info@republic.boutique. Phone: +94 11 282 9291. We are the controller of the personal data described in this policy. For more on how we handle your data, see our Privacy Policy.

3. Our legal basis for using cookies

Strictly necessary cookies do not need your consent because the website cannot work without them (Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive).

All other cookies (analytics) are set only after you give consent through our cookie banner. Your consent is freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. Continuing to browse or scroll is not treated as consent.

4. Cookies we use

Non-essential cookies stay switched off until you choose to enable them.

Strictly necessary cookies

  • Purpose: core site functions, security, and remembering your cookie choice.
  • Examples: our cookie consent record (br_cookie_consent).
  • Duration: up to 6 months.
  • Consent needed: No.

Analytics cookies

  • Purpose: count visits and show which pages are popular and how visitors move around, so we can improve the website. Data is aggregated.
  • Examples: Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_<container-id>); Hotjar (_hjSessionUser_<site-id>, _hjSession_<site-id>).
  • Duration: up to 2 years.
  • Consent needed: Yes.

Durations are typical maximums set by each provider and may change.

5. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we use. These providers may process data on their own servers, including outside the European Economic Area, and act under their own privacy policies. Where they process data on our behalf we have a data processing agreement in place and, where required, use safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Our website also links to our pages on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok. Simply clicking those links does not set cookies from us, but once you visit those platforms their own cookie rules apply.

6. How to manage or withdraw your consent

  • On our website: when you first visit, you can choose Accept all, Reject all or Manage preferences by category. Rejecting is as easy as accepting.
  • Change your mind at any time: use the "Cookie settings" link in the website footer to review or withdraw your consent. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
  • In your browser: you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working.
  • You can also install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

7. How long we remember your choice

We store your cookie choice for up to 6 months, after which we ask you again. We also record the date and policy version you agreed to, so that we can demonstrate your consent.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our cookies or the law change. The "Last updated" date shows the latest version. If we add new categories of cookies, we will ask for your consent again.
