Cookies

What we set

We use first-party cookies needed to run the site, plus Google Analytics 4 on public pages if you Accept. We do not use advertising cookies or analytics that profile you.

Necessary cookies

• cc_session — keeps you signed in. HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax, expires after 30 days. Deleted when you sign out.
• cc_ref — remembers a referral code if you arrived through someone’s link, so their referral is attributed if you buy. Contains an opaque code and nothing about you. Expires after 30 days.

Analytics cookies

On public pages we use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google LLC, measurement ID G-0XNGPNY43J. Google sets `_ga` (distinguishes browsers for up to two years) and `_ga_*` (persists the session state for this property for up to two years). Your Accept or Reject choice is stored in our first-party cookie `cc-analytics-consent` for about six months.

GA4 does not log or store IP addresses; it uses them briefly to derive approximate location, then discards them. Signed-in member, admin and sign-in pages never load the tag. You can change or revoke the choice at any time using Cookie settings in the footer.

Turning them off

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cc_session means you cannot stay signed in, so the member area will not work. Blocking cc_ref has no effect on you at all. Blocking `cc-analytics-consent` or choosing Reject keeps analytics cookies unset.

If you sign out, the session cookie is removed and your session is revoked on our side too — not merely forgotten by your browser.
