Cookies and Browser Storage Policy

Last updated: September 4, 2026.

This page lists the first-party cookie and browser-storage uses currently implemented by ManCaves.Store. It does not claim that advertising or analytics cookies are active when they are not.

Current cookies

  • mc_sess: a signed, HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax account-session cookie. It normally expires after 30 days and is cleared at sign-out. In production it is sent only over HTTPS.
  • mc_rooms: a first-party room-interest preference containing a short list of room categories. It normally expires after 90 days and helps order homepage merchandising.

Stripe Checkout is hosted by Stripe and may use its own cookies or similar technologies under Stripe’s policies when you open or use checkout.

Local storage

  • mc_cart_v1: cart items and selected variants on this device.
  • mc_interest_v1: recently viewed, cart, purchased, and room-interest product identifiers used for first-party merchandising.
  • Legacy preference keys: older cart, purchased, and recently viewed identifiers can be read during migration to the current format.

Session storage

Short-lived checkout-attempt and diagnostic records can be stored for the browser tab. These help prevent duplicate checkout launches and troubleshoot page-loading or store-health errors. They are not the authoritative order record; paid orders are read from Stripe on the server.

Advertising and nonessential analytics

The audited storefront does not currently identify an active advertising-cookie integration or a general visitor-analytics tag. We will update this notice and add any legally required consent control before enabling nonessential advertising or analytics technologies. Conditional analytics calls in unused or optional code do not set a tracker by themselves.

Your controls

Browser settings can block or delete cookies and site storage. Clearing storage removes the cart and local preferences. Blocking the session cookie prevents account sign-in from persisting. You can also use a private-browsing window to limit storage to that session.

Updates and contact

We will revise this page when the technologies or purposes change.
