Cookies on the shop
Last updated: 4 November 2026
The shop stores a few small things in your browser so it works. Analytics stay off unless you say yes.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file a website saves in your browser. Sites can also use "browser storage", which works in a similar way. On this page, "cookies" means both.
Cookies the shop needs
These are always on, because parts of the site can't work without them. They don't track you across other sites.
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your cookie choice | Remembers whether you allowed analytics | 6 months (also kept in your browser's storage until you clear it) |
| Cloudflare security (`__cf_bm`) | Helps block bots and attacks on the site | 30 minutes (only if Cloudflare's bot protection checks your visit) |
Basic visit counting (no cookies)
We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics. It sets no cookies and doesn't identify you, so it's on unless you switch it off in "Cookie settings". Switching it off saves that choice in your browser.
Analytics cookies (only if you allow them)
These help us see which pages are useful and where people get stuck. They only load after you accept on the cookie banner.
| Service | Cookies | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | `_ga`, `_ga_6BZZEMG5MX` | Counts visits and shows which pages and tools people use | Up to 2 years |
| Microsoft Clarity | `_clck`, `_clsk`, `CLID`, `MUID`, `ANONCHK`, `MR`, `SM` | Shows how pages are used through heatmaps and session replays (clicks, scrolling and mouse movement) | From the end of your visit up to 1 year |
We've set Clarity to hide anything you type into forms.
