Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site operators. We also use similar technologies (localStorage, sessionStorage, pixels) that work in similar ways.

2. Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the Site to function. They cannot be switched off.

• user_session — authenticates your signed-in account. HTTP-only, signed (HMAC-SHA256), 30-day expiry.
• admin_session — authenticates the admin panel. HTTP-only, signed, short expiry.
• NEXT_LOCALE — remembers your preferred language. 1-year expiry.
• __Host-/__Secure- prefixed cookies issued by Stripe / Creem during checkout — required to process your payment securely.

2.2 Analytics cookies (optional)

We may use privacy-respecting analytics (for example, self-hosted or anonymised aggregates) to understand which pages are popular. These cookies do not identify you personally and can be disabled via your browser or by using a private-browsing mode.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties when you use their features:

• Stripe — sets cookies during checkout to prevent fraud. See the Stripe Privacy Policy.
• Creem — sets cookies during checkout. See the Creem Privacy Policy.

4. How to Control Cookies

• Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will break sign-in and checkout.
• Use private / incognito mode to avoid non-essential cookies during a session.
• Opt out of Google Analytics globally at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout if we use Google Analytics.

5. Changes

We may update this Policy. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the change.
