Four kinds of file, and what happens if you block each one.
A small text file the site asks your browser to keep, so the next page load knows something the previous one did. It cannot read other files on your computer and it cannot run programs. That is the whole mechanism, minus the drama.
| Type | Job | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Cart contents, checkout steps, security | Session to 30 days |
| Preference | Remembers dismissed banners and chosen settings | 12 months |
| Analytics | Counts page views and where visitors arrive from | 14 months |
| Third party | Set by the payment processor during checkout | Set by them |
Blocking analytics and preference cookies costs you nothing: the site works the same and we lose a line in a chart. Blocking essential cookies breaks the cart and checkout, because there is no other way to remember what you put in it between two page loads.
Every browser has cookie controls under privacy settings, including a per site list where you can block this domain specifically. Clearing cookies also signs you out of anything you were signed into elsewhere, which surprises people every time.
We honor the Do Not Track header where the browser sends it, which means analytics cookies are not set for that visit.
