This page explains which cookies shop.kstanchev.com uses and how you control them. For everything else about your data, see the Privacy Policy.
Your choice, in one line
When you first visit, a banner offers Accept and Reject. Reject is just as easy as Accept. If you reject, only the necessary cookies run: the shop still works, you can still buy, nothing tracks you for analytics.
Your current choice:
You can change your mind at any time using the “Privacy & Cookie Policy” tab on screen, which reopens the banner.
What cookies are
Small text files stored in your browser. Some are needed for the site to function (keeping your cart together between pages), others are optional (counting visits).
Cookies this shop actually uses
Necessary (always on, no consent needed):
- WooCommerce session and cart cookies, so your cart survives between pages and checkout works.
- The cookie-consent cookies themselves (cookielawinfo-*), which remember whether you accepted or rejected.
- Cloudflare security cookies, which protect the site from attacks.
- A login cookie if you sign in to your account.
These do not profile you. They are exempt from consent because the shop cannot function without them.
Statistics (only after you click Accept):
- Google Analytics (_ga and friends): aggregated stats on visits and pages, so I can see what is worth improving.
I also use Plausible Analytics, self-hosted on my own server. Plausible is cookieless: it sets no cookies and stores no personal identifiers, which is why it is not gated behind the banner.
Email-related (only for opted-in subscribers):
- MailPoet sets cookies to connect newsletter clicks with shop activity (mailpoet_revenue_tracking, mailpoet_abandoned_cart_tracking). These only apply if you are a confirmed newsletter subscriber.
Advertising: this site shows no third-party advertising and sets no advertising cookies. The product feed sent to Google for shopping listings contains product data, not visitor data.
