This website sets one cookie of its own, and only when you sign in, and uses your browser's local storage for your bag. On its public pages it also uses Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity, which set cookies to count visits and to see how the pages are used. They are not used for advertising, they never run on order or account pages, and you can turn them off at the foot of this page.
Our own cookie
The website sets a single cookie of its own, and only when you sign in to your account:
- mb_shop_session — keeps you signed in to your account, so your orders and details are there on every page. It holds a random key that only our server can match to your account, cannot be read by the page's scripts, and is sent only over HTTPS. Kept for 30 days, or until you sign out, which ends it on every device.
Browser storage
Your bag — the fragrances and quantities you have added — is kept in your browser's local storage under the key mavenblend.cart.v1, and clearing your site data empties it. The bag itself reaches us when you send the order; with analytics on, each product added or removed is reported to Google Analytics (see below).
If you turn analytics off, that choice is kept under the key mavenblend.analytics, so it holds on your next visit.
Analytics
Two services measure how the public pages are used, including what is done in the shop: products viewed and added to the bag, questions opened, contact links used. Neither runs on the order pages, the account pages, the bag or the checkout. From those pages our server reports a few events to Google Analytics itself — the bag viewed or changed, the checkout started, an account created, a sign-in, an order placed with its number, value and products, never your name or contact details — and to know which browser they belong to it reads the two Google cookies below, which your browser sends to this site. Without them, nothing is reported.
- Google Analytics (Google) — the cookies _ga and _ga_9GT676BZYL, which tell visits from the same browser apart so they can be counted, kept for up to two years. Google's advertising features (Google signals and ad personalisation) are switched off for this website.
- Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft) — the cookies _clck, which recognises a returning browser for up to a year, and _clsk, which joins one visit's pages together for a day. Clarity records clicks, scrolling and mouse movement, and masks typed text, numbers and email addresses. Microsoft's own domains may set cookies of their own under Microsoft's privacy statement.
Third parties
Cloudflare, which protects the website, may set a security cookie of its own during a challenge; it does not track you across sites. Cloudflare Turnstile, on the contact form, checks that a message is sent by a person, under Cloudflare's own policy. There are no advertising cookies.
Refusing them
You can turn the analytics off with the switch below, for this browser, or block cookies and site storage in your browser's settings. The website keeps working either way; with everything blocked, the bag does not persist between visits and you cannot stay signed in.
