Country, language and currency
Country, language and currency: we use your chosen market or approximate IP-based country to personalise storefront selections. When local country lookup is unavailable, your browser contacts Country.is, which receives your IP address. We do not request precise device location. Your market choice is kept in the session cookie hc_market; the currency plugin also uses psmmc_currency for up to one day. You can change these choices using the country, language and currency selectors. Public exchange rates are obtained from ExchangeRate-API without sending customer details. Local-currency prices are estimates; checkout and payment are in USD, and your bank or payment provider may apply its own conversion rate and fees.
Your cookie choices at Highcrest
This page brings together information about cookies and the controls for optional technologies used on highcreast.com. Our Privacy Policy explains how information is used for orders, accounts, payments and support.
Understanding the categories
Functional technologies support essential website features, such as cart sessions, account login and security. Some also remember settings that help the store work as expected. The functional category in the controls below is always active. You can block cookies through your browser, but doing so may affect the cart, login or checkout.
Statistics technologies, where enabled, help measure website use and understand how visitors interact with the store. Marketing technologies, where enabled, may support advertising or tracking functions. These optional categories have separate controls so you can review your choices.
How to change your preferences
Use the controls under “Manage cookie preferences” below to review the categories and change optional choices. A checked category indicates that it is allowed for the browser you are using. You can return here through the Cookie preferences link in our Privacy Policy even after the initial consent banner has closed.
Choices are associated with your browser and device. Using a different browser, clearing cookies or changing devices may require you to choose again. Withdrawing consent affects future processing based on that consent; it does not automatically delete order or transaction records kept for a separate lawful purpose.
If the controls do not load
The interactive controls require JavaScript. If they do not appear, check your browser settings or try reloading the page. You can also manage cookies in your browser or contact support@highcreast.com for help. Do not share your password or payment security codes when asking for assistance.
Cookie information for all store visitors
These controls apply to the browser you use to visit Highcrest, including customers in the Americas and Australia. Optional statistics and marketing technologies are held until you allow their category. Your rights depend on your location; see our Privacy Policy for requests and contact details.
Technologies used by the store
| Technology | Purpose and choice | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Complianz: cmplz_functional, cmplz_preferences, cmplz_statistics, cmplz_marketing and related consent records | Remember your cookie choices. These records are functional, even when they record refusal of another category. | The configured consent duration is 365 days; clearing browser storage removes the record sooner. |
| WooCommerce cart and session storage | Keep cart contents and relate requests to the same shopping session. Used for cart and checkout functionality. | Session or limited session-cookie lifetime; actual expiry is available in your browser. |
| WordPress account cookies | Maintain an authenticated account session when you sign in. Required for order history and account access. | Depends on login and remember-me settings; signing out ends authenticated access. |
| Wishlist and currency storage | Remember a saved list or selected display currency and support those store features. | Depends on the feature and browser storage; removing storage resets saved preferences. |
| WooCommerce attribution: sbjs_*; Jetpack/WordPress.com measurement: tk_* where used | Measure traffic or order attribution. Optional statistics storage is cleared when statistics consent is denied or withdrawn. | Varies by cookie and service; you can inspect actual expiry in your browser and withdraw the category below. |
| Google reCAPTCHA and payment-provider technologies | Protect checkout from abuse and process the payment option you use. PayPal and PayGlocal may process device, network and transaction information under their own policies. | Provider-controlled; required payment or security processing is separate from optional advertising consent. |
| Google Fonts | Loads a third-party font when its applicable consent allows it. A font request can disclose network information such as IP address even without a cookie. | Network request and browser caching; the service is blocked when the applicable consent is absent. |
Cookie names and availability can change with plugin updates, payment choices and the pages you visit. Browser developer tools show the cookies and local storage currently present on your device. We review the configuration as the store changes. This information describes the configured store rather than guaranteeing that every browser has the same cookies.

Browser controls and privacy requests
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking functional storage may interrupt login, cart or payments. A browser privacy signal such as Global Privacy Control is respected by the consent manager where supported. To request access, correction or deletion of personal information, contact support@highcreast.com. Cookie withdrawal does not erase order records needed for accounting, disputes or other applicable obligations.
