Cookie notice
This site sets no cookies. Here is what it uses instead, and how to control it.

This site sets no cookies
Not one. There is no server to set them and nothing to correlate them with. What the site does use
is localStorage on your own device, which is covered by the same rule — Article 5(3) of
Directive 2002/58/EC (the ePrivacy Directive) governs any storing of or access to information on a
user’s terminal equipment, not only cookies. So it gets the same treatment: strictly necessary
entries without consent, everything else only if you say yes.
What is stored on your device
Strictly necessary — no consent required
These are exempt under Article 5(3) because the service you asked for cannot work without them.
| Key | What it holds | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
ic.v1.cart | Your basket | Until you clear it or order |
ic.v1.checkout-draft | What you have typed at checkout, so an interruption does not cost you the form | Until the order is placed |
ic.v1.orders | Your orders and any withdrawal declarations | Until you erase them |
ic.v1.consent | The choice you made on this page | 12 months |
ic.v1.wishlist | Items you saved | Until you unsave them |
ic.v1.recently-viewed | The last 12 products you opened | Rolling |
Optional — only with your consent
- Analytics. Aggregate page-view counts. Off by default. In this reference build nothing is actually loaded when you enable it; the switch exists so you can see what the choice controls.
- Marketing. Advertising and retargeting. Off by default, and nothing is loaded.
How the banner works, and why
Our consent banner does three things that are required and are still unusual:
- It waits. It appears about a second after the page has drawn, so you can see what you are consenting to. A dialog that fires before first paint is an obstacle, not a question.
- Accept and reject are equal. Same size, same row, one click each. The EDPB’s guidance on deceptive design patterns (03/2022) is explicit that a prominent “Accept” beside a buried or greyed-out “Reject” does not produce valid consent. Ours are the same size and neither is styled to be the obvious one.
- It does not hold the page hostage. No backdrop, no scroll lock, no focus trap. You can read, browse and buy while it is open, and closing it without choosing is not treated as consent.
Withdrawing consent is one click from Cookie settings in the footer of every page, at any time — Article 7(3) GDPR requires it to be as easy as giving it.
Controlling it in your browser
Every browser lets you clear site data for a domain, which erases everything above. You can also use the erase button in the privacy notice, which does the same thing without touching your other sites.
