Cookies
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. The shop needs the cookies below to work: to keep your basket, to keep you signed in, and to protect the site. They don’t need your consent.
| Cookie | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| wp_woocommerce_session_* | Remembers your basket and the files you’ve uploaded on the order page. | 2 days |
| woocommerce_cart_hash, woocommerce_items_in_cart | Tell the site your basket has changed, so pages show it correctly. | Until you close your browser |
| strand_basket | Shows how many things are in your basket at the top of every page. | 30 days |
| __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid | Set by Stripe, who take payment, to spot and stop card fraud. Only on pages where you can pay. | 1 year (__stripe_mid), 30 minutes (__stripe_sid) |
| wordpress_logged_in_*, wordpress_sec_* | Keep you signed in to your account. | Until you sign out, or 2 weeks if you tick “Keep me signed in” |
| wordpress_test_cookie | Checks your browser accepts cookies when you sign in. | Until you close your browser |
| _lscache_vary | Makes sure you see your own basket and account rather than a saved copy of the page. | Until you close your browser |
The site also keeps a few things in your browser’s own storage, which isn’t sent to us. The order page keeps the name of the file you chose and your choices for it for up to 2 days, so they’re still there if you come back; the file itself stays with us, and is deleted after 2 days if you don’t order. Pictures of your models in your basket, whether you chose to check out without an account, and whether you’ve seen the logo’s opening animation are kept only until you close the tab.
Optional cookies, only if you say yes
The first time you visit, we ask whether we can also use other companies’ cookies for analytics and advertising. Nothing in this table is used unless you choose Accept, and you can change your mind at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. Your choice is kept in a cookie called strand_consent for six months.
| Service | What it does | Its cookies |
|---|---|---|
| Jetpack Stats Automattic’s privacy policy | Counts visits and which pages are popular. | None; each visit is sent to Automattic |
| WooCommerce Analytics Automattic’s privacy policy | Counts what’s looked at, added to baskets and bought, to show which designs work. | tk_ai, tk_or, tk_r3d, tk_lr, tk_qs |
You can delete or block cookies in your browser’s settings. If you block the ones the shop needs, the basket and sign-in won’t work. Last updated: 25 October 2026.
