Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. We also use browser localStorage and sessionStorage, which work similarly to cookies — storing small pieces of information on your device — but are not automatically sent with every request to our servers.

2. How We Use Cookies and Local Storage

We use the following categories:

• Strictly necessary storage: used to remember your cookie consent choice (cookie_consent, stored in localStorage) and to support core checkout functionality (such as Stripe's fraud-prevention cookies during payment, e.g. __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid). These cannot be disabled through our consent banner because the service would not function correctly without them.
• Functional/session storage: a short-lived, randomly generated session identifier (analytics_session_id, stored in sessionStorage) used to group your own activity together during a single visit. It is cleared automatically when you close your browser tab and is only sent to our analytics tools if you have accepted analytics cookies.
• Optional analytics cookies: if you accept analytics cookies, we enable Google Analytics (cookies such as _ga and _gid) to help us understand how the service is used, with IP addresses anonymized. These are not set unless you accept.

3. Your Choices

When you first visit the site, you can accept or decline optional analytics cookies via the consent banner. If you decline, analytics tools are not initialized and no analytics cookies are set.

You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and site data for this site (which removes the stored cookie_consent value and will show the consent banner again on your next visit), or by using your browser's cookie settings to block or delete cookies generally. Most browsers let you review, block, and delete cookies through their settings menu.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties we work with, such as Stripe (payments) and Google Analytics (optional analytics). These third parties are responsible for their own cookies and privacy practices; we encourage you to review their respective privacy and cookie policies for more detail.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page with the updated date.
