Cookie policy and settings
Effective November 8, 2026
Merrirose Retro uses only the cookies the shop needs to work, plus analytics cookies if you say yes. We don't use advertising, social media or cross-site tracking cookies, and we never sell or share your information for advertising.
Your cookie settings
Right now the shop uses only strictly necessary cookies, so there is nothing to switch on or off. If we ever add analytics, we'll ask you first.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for the site to work. Others, like analytics cookies, are optional, and we only use them if you agree.
The cookies we use
| Name | Type | What it does | How long | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
sessionid |
Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in and remembers your checkout progress. | 30 days | Us |
csrftoken |

Strictly necessary | Remembers your cookie choices, so we don't ask on every page. | 180 days | Us |
ai_user |
Analytics (only with your OK) | Analytics: counts returning visitors with a random ID. | 1 year | Our analytics provider, on our behalf |
ai_session |
Analytics (only with your OK) | Analytics: groups the pages viewed in one visit. | 30 minutes after your last page | Our analytics provider, on our behalf |
When you pay, you're taken to our payment processor's secure payment page, which sets its own cookies for fraud prevention and security under its own cookie policy.
Analytics, in more detail
If you say yes, your browser loads our analytics provider's script, which records the pages you view, how long they take to load, the browser and device type, and errors. Our provider processes this only on our behalf under a data protection agreement, and does not store your full IP address. We use the results only to fix problems and improve the shop: never for advertising and never to identify you.
Separately from cookies, our servers keep short technical logs of requests (such as the page asked for, the time and the IP address) to keep the site secure and running. These don't use cookies and are explained in our privacy policy.
Changing your mind
Use the settings above or the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. Turning analytics off deletes the analytics cookies we set. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser's settings; if you block strictly necessary cookies, your cart and sign-in won't work.
We ask again every 6 months, and whenever we change the cookies we use.
Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
We honor the Global Privacy Control signal: if your browser sends it, analytics stay off unless you turn them on. Because we don't track you across other sites or use advertising cookies, browser "Do Not Track" settings don't change anything here.
