What we keep in your browser.
Seven things, and only two of them are about measuring. The table is the whole list, not a summary of one.
Not final yet
Allternativ’s company registration is being completed. The practical terms on this page are what we will operate by, but the page is not yet a final legal document. Questions in the meantime: info@allternativ.com.
The full list
| Name | What for | Lasts | Needs consent |
|---|---|---|---|
| allternativ-cart Local storage | The items in your basket, so they survive closing the tab. | Until you clear it or empty the basket | No |
| allternativ:destination Local storage | Where you asked us to deliver, which sets the currency and the delivery price. | Until you clear it | No |
| allternativ-wishlist Local storage | Items you saved for later. | Until you clear it | No |
| allternativ:consent Local storage | Your answer to the question at the bottom of the screen, so we stop asking. | Until you clear it | No |
| allternativ-customer-token Cookie | Proof that you are signed in to your account. Only set if you sign in, and readable only by our server — never by the page itself. | 7 days, or until you sign out | No |
| alt_vid Cookie | A random identifier that recognises your browser on a return visit, so two visits are not counted as two people. It carries no name, no email and nothing you typed. | 1 year | Yes |
| alt_sid Session storage | A random identifier for this one visit, used to group the pages of a single session together. | Until you close the tab | Yes |
What happens if you say no
The two measuring ones are never set, and nothing else changes. The shop works, the basket fills, the checkout completes. Saying no costs you nothing except our knowing you were here.
The four marked “No” above are kept either way. Each one exists because you asked for something — put this in my bag, send it to Spain, stop asking me about cookies — and none of them leaves your browser or identifies you.
Changing your mind
Clear this site’s data in your browser settings and the question comes back on your next visit. We do not keep a copy of your answer anywhere else.
Nobody else’s cookies
There are no advertising trackers, no social media pixels and no third-party analytics on this site. The measuring is ours and the data stays with us.
Our payment page is hosted by Stripe and sets its own cookies while you are on it, which are necessary for the payment to work and to stop fraud. That happens on Stripe’s page, under their policy.
