Cookie & Storage Policy
Last Updated: September 2026 • Thimble & Patch Atelier
1. Why We Use Local Storage & Cookies
Unlike typical commercial retail stores that deploy invasive advertising trackers, Thimble and Patch uses minimal cookies and local browser storage strictly for functional luxury performance:
- Theme Persistence: Storing your selected preference between Warm Alabaster (Light Mode) and Obsidian (Dark Mode).
- The Patch Studio Canvas: Temporarily caching your 2D layer positions and custom artwork so you do not lose your design if you navigate away or refresh.
- Bag & Concierge Tray: Preserving items in your cart and curated corporate box across sessions.
- Firebase Session Tokens: Secure JWT credentials that allow seamless authentication on the web and the companion mobile app.
2. Types of Cookies in Operation

3. Disabling Cookies
