Cookie policy

StoreVerifier keeps your choices and signed-in session in browser storage. Optional visit analytics runs only after you choose Analytics. The actual storage this app writes is listed below.

Last updated 19 September 2026. We post the date on every change, and we will not change it quietly.

1. What a cookie is

A cookie is one kind of browser storage. This app uses local and session storage for the items listed below.

Cookies are small text files that a website can store in your browser. Browsers also provide local and session storage. StoreVerifier currently uses those browser-storage features to remember your choice, account session, and session-only currency preference.

2. The browser storage we use

Here is the storage this app writes, what it does, and when it goes away.

3. Clearing browser storage

Clearing essential browser storage signs you out. Declining Analytics means we do not send the optional visit record.

You can control browser data through your browser settings. Clearing essential storage signs you out; clearing your consent choice makes the banner ask again. Declining Analytics has no effect on the service and prevents the optional visit record from being sent.

You can also use the banner's Manage control to change optional choices without clearing your browser data.

4. Other companies' cookies

None on our pages. The payment page is Stripe's, and Stripe's own cookies apply there.

No other company sets cookies or storage through storeverifier.com: our fonts and scripts are served from our own server. When you pay, you move to Stripe's payment page, which sets Stripe's own cookies, for example to prevent fraud. Those are covered by Stripe's cookie policy, not this one.
