Cookie policy — Mageaustralia

Draft. Pending legal review.

Short version: we use the minimum cookies required to make the site work, no tracking cookies, no advertising cookies. No banner needed because we don't set non-essential cookies.

Cookies we set

Cookie Purpose Lifetime
sidLogged-in customer session30 days
cartShopping cart contents (signed token)Session
cf_clearanceCloudflare bot protection30 days
_csrfCross-site request forgery protectionSession

All of the above are first-party, strictly necessary cookies. None are used for advertising or cross-site tracking. They are exempt from prior-consent requirements under EU ePrivacy and Australian Privacy Principles.

Cookies we don't set

  • No Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, or any cross-site analytics with persistent identifiers
  • No Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, TikTok Pixel
  • No advertising or remarketing cookies
  • No fingerprinting or device-tracking signals beyond standard server logs

Analytics

We use a privacy-respecting aggregate analytics tool that does not set cookies and does not record visitor identifiers. It counts page views per URL and logs the referring domain — no individual visitor is identified or tracked across sessions.

Browser controls

All major browsers let you block or delete cookies via settings. Blocking sid or cart means logged-in features and cart functionality won't work — that is the trade-off, since these cookies are the feature.

Updates

If we ever introduce non-essential cookies (e.g. an A/B testing tool that needs them), we will add a consent banner and update this page before doing so.
