• consent_preference — records your cookie consent choice (Accepted or Rejected). Stored for 12 months.
• __stripe_mid / __stripe_sid — set by Stripe during checkout to prevent fraud on payment pages. Expires after 12 months.
• __stripe_s — Stripe session token used during the checkout process. Expires after 30 minutes of inactivity.

Non-Essential Cookies

These are only set after you have given explicit consent via our banner. You may reject them at any time.

• _ga, _gid, _gat — Google Analytics cookies used to understand how visitors navigate and use the site. We use this data to improve the experience. No personal data is collected. Only set if you accept non-essential cookies.
