Cookie Policy
Effective: 2026-04-19
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We also use similar technologies including localStorage and sessionStorage. Together we call these “cookies” in this policy.
2. Cookies We Use
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| mss_session | Authenticated session | Essential | Session |
| mss_cookie_consent | Stores your consent choice | Essential | 12 months |
| mss_csrf | CSRF protection | Essential | Session |

| Stripe.js cookies (checkout only) | Payment processing + fraud prevention | Essential | Per Stripe policy |
3. How We Obtain Consent
Essential cookies load without consent because the Service cannot function without them. Analytics and advertising cookies load only afteryou accept them via the consent banner shown on first visit. You can change your choice anytime by clicking the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
4. Browser Controls
You can also manage cookies in your browser settings: block all, block third-party only, or clear existing. Blocking essential cookies will break login and checkout.
We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where your browser sends it: that signal is treated as a request to opt out of sale/sharing under CCPA/CPRA.
5. Changes
We will update this list when we add or remove cookies. Material changes prompt a fresh consent request.
