Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 21, 2026
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. "Local storage" is a similar place in your browser where a site can keep small settings. This page lists everything our shop stores in your browser.
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics cookies. Our visitor statistics are counted on our own server without any cookie (see our Privacy Policy).
Cookies we set
- PHPSESSID: keeps your visit together from page to page, including whether you are signed in and the security token that protects our forms. Essential. Deleted when you close your browser. It cannot be read by scripts on the page.
- vs_cart: remembers your shopping cart, so your items are still there when you come back. Essential. Set the first time you add something to your cart or send us a form on the site, and lasts 30 days. It holds a random code, not your details, and cannot be read by scripts on the page.
Things we keep in your browser's local storage
These never leave your browser and are not sent to us.
- vs_theme: your choice of Day, Night or Auto colors. Kept until you clear your browser's storage.
- vs_recent: your last 10 searches on this site, so we can offer them again in the search box. You can delete them with "Clear" under Recent searches on the search page, or by clearing your browser's storage.
If you install our app
You can add this shop to your phone's home screen or your computer as an app ("Install app"). If you do, or simply visit, your browser keeps a copy of the site's own files (its style sheet, scripts and app icons) and a short "you are offline" page in its cache, so pages open faster and you see a clear message when you have no connection. It holds no pages with your details: your cart, checkout and account pages are never stored. Clearing your browser's site data, or uninstalling the app, removes it.
Cookies set by others
- Stripe: when you reach checkout, Stripe's payment form is loaded from Stripe's servers to take card payments securely. Stripe may set its own cookies to prevent fraud. They are covered by Stripe's privacy policy and cookie policy at stripe.com. Stripe is not loaded on any other page.
- Product videos: some product pages have a video that is loaded from our fulfillment partner's server only when you press play.
Your choices
Because the cookies we set are essential for the cart, checkout and sign-in, we do not ask for consent to them. You can block or delete cookies in your browser's settings, but if you block ours, your cart and sign-in will not work. Clearing your browser's local storage resets your color choice and recent searches.
Changes
If we start using any other cookie or storage item, we will add it to this page first.
