This Cookie Policy explains how Selena Tarot uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have. Read it together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data more broadly.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to store information. Similar technologies include pixels (tiny images that record that a page or email was opened), local storage, and software development kits. Throughout this policy we refer to all of these simply as "cookies".
Cookies can be "first party" (set by us) or "third party" (set by another company, such as an analytics or advertising provider). They can also be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which stay until they expire or you delete them.
1. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function, to keep you signed in, to protect your session, and to process payments securely. They do not track you for advertising and cannot be switched off, so no consent is required for them.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
selena-tarot-session | Selena Tarot | Keeps your session active so your cart, checkout and account stay linked to you. | 2 hours |
XSRF-TOKEN | Selena Tarot | Security token that protects forms against cross-site request forgery. | 2 hours |
__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid | Stripe | Fraud prevention and secure payment processing at checkout. | Up to 1 year / 30 min |
2. Analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Our own page-view counting is cookieless and privacy first: it uses a daily-rotating hash that cannot identify you and does not follow you across other websites, so it sets no cookie at all. Where you have consented (or where allowed in your region), we also use the following:
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_<id> | Google Analytics 4 | Measures aggregate traffic and how pages perform. | Up to 2 years |
_clck, _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Anonymized usage and session-quality analytics to help us fix what is confusing. | Up to 1 year / 1 day |
3. Advertising and marketing cookies
These let us measure whether our advertising works and reach people who may be interested in our readings. They may share limited event data (such as a page view or a purchase) with the advertising platforms below.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
_fbp | Meta (Facebook, Instagram) | Measures ad performance and builds audiences for Meta ads. | Up to 3 months |
_ttp | TikTok | Measures ad performance for TikTok campaigns. | Up to 13 months |
| Google Ads tags | Conversion measurement for Google advertising. | Varies |
How consent works where you live
- EU, EEA, UK and similar regions: non-essential cookies and pixels (analytics and advertising) load only after you explicitly accept them in our consent banner. If you do nothing, they stay off.
- United States and rest of world: non-essential cookies may load by default. You can opt out at any time, and we automatically honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal where it is present.
Your choices
- Use to accept, reject or change your preferences at any time.
- US residents can use the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in the footer.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site (such as checkout) from working.
To manage cookies directly in your browser, see the help pages for Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge.
Third-party providers
The third parties named above set their own cookies under their own privacy policies:
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our site and the technologies we use evolve. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Please check back from time to time.
