We use as few cookies as possible. None are for ads. None are third-party trackers that follow you across the web. This page lists what we actually set and what each one does.
1. Essential cookies (always on)
These are required to run the site. They're first-party, expire when you close your browser, and don't collect identifying information.
- shipthane_consent— stores your cookie banner preference ("accepted" / "rejected") so the banner doesn't come back on every page. Persists 12 months.
2. Analytics cookies (only if you accept)
If you accept analytics in the cookie banner, we set the following. If you reject, none of these get created.
- ph_* (PostHog) — anonymous page view and click tracking. We do not use cross-site or fingerprint tracking. Data retention 14 months.
3. Payment cookies (only at checkout)
Stripe sets cookies on its own domain during the checkout flow for fraud prevention. These are required by Stripe and we have no ability to disable them while still accepting payments. See Stripe's cookie policy for details.
4. How to opt out
- Use the "Reject" button on the cookie banner the next time you load the site. Your existing analytics cookies will be cleared.
- Browser settings: most browsers let you block third-party cookies or clear all cookies. That works for opting out of everything, including PostHog.
5. Do-Not-Track
We honor the Do-Not-Track browser header. If your browser sends DNT, we treat that as a "reject analytics" and never set PostHog cookies regardless of banner state.
6. Updates to this policy
If we add or remove cookies, this page gets updated and the Effective Date above changes. Material additions also get a banner notice on the home page.
