Cookie Policy
Last updated: 14 July 2026
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Local storage is a similar browser technology that allows websites to store data locally on your device.
How We Use Cookies & Local Storage
This store uses only essential cookies and local storage that are strictly necessary for the store to function. We do not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies.
| Technology | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local Storage (cart) | Stores your shopping cart contents so items are preserved as you browse the store | Strictly necessary | Until you clear your browser data or complete checkout |
| Cookie (mst-consent) | Records your acknowledgement of this cookie notice so we don't re-prompt you on every page | Strictly necessary | 1 year (SameSite=Lax) |
| Cookie (store-lang-<slug>) | Remembers your selected display language for this store | Strictly necessary | 1 year (SameSite=Lax) |
| Local Storage (mst-lead:<slug>:*) | Remembers whether you've already seen, completed, or declined the optional newsletter signup, so we don't re-prompt you on every visit. Set only on stores that offer the signup. | Strictly necessary (service requested by user: suppression of repeat prompts) | Persistent until you clear browser data |
| Cookie (store-pin-<slug>) | Set only on access-gated team stores, to remember the access PIN you entered so you don't have to re-enter it on every page | Strictly necessary | Session |
| Stripe cookies | Set by Stripe during payment processing for fraud prevention and payment completion | Strictly necessary | Session / as set by Stripe |
Third-Party Cookies
During the checkout process, you may be redirected to Stripe for payment. Stripe may set its own cookies for fraud detection and payment processing. These are essential for completing your purchase. For details, see Stripe's Cookie Policy.
Your Choices
All cookies and local storage listed above are strictly necessary either to deliver the store (cart, payment) or to suppress prompts you've already responded to (cookie notice, newsletter signup). Under the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC, Art. 5(3)) these are exempt from prior consent because they are necessary for a service explicitly requested by you. No opt-in or opt-out mechanism is required.
You can clear cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings. Note that clearing local storage will remove your shopping cart contents.
Changes to This Policy
If we add any non-essential cookies in the future (such as analytics), we will update this policy and implement a consent mechanism before deploying them.
