Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 2, 2026.
We use a small number of cookies for things the site genuinely needs. No advertising trackers, no third-party analytics that profile you, no fingerprinting.
Cookies we set
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
PHPSESSID | Keeps you signed in; remembers your cart; CSRF protection | Session (cleared when browser closes) |
That's it for cookies we set ourselves. No persistent tracking IDs, no advertising cookies, no fingerprinting.
Optional things we may ask you to consent to
Today we don't load any optional / non-essential cookies. We show a consent banner the first time you visit to confirm that, and to remember your preference in a single first-party cookie (mds_consent) so we don't ask again every page.
If we ever introduce optional third-party scripts (analytics, live chat, etc.), we'll ask consent first and document them on this page before they load.
We also honor your browser's Global Privacy Control (Sec-GPC: 1) signal automatically and treat it as a "decline" without showing the banner at all.
What we don't use
- No Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Segment, or similar. Our admin reporting comes from our own database — we don't need third-party tracking.
- No Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Twitter Pixel. We don't run paid social ads, so no need to load these.
- No advertising cookies. We don't sell ads.
- No Google Fonts pre-consent. We use the system font stack (Inter is only listed as a preferred name — no external font is loaded). No EU IP addresses are sent to Google.
Third-party services that may set their own cookies
- Stripe checkout — when you proceed to payment, you're redirected to Stripe's site. Stripe sets its own cookies per their cookie policy.
- Google / Microsoft OAuth — when you click "Continue with Google" or "Continue with Microsoft", those providers set cookies in their domains. We never see them.
Opting out
You can't really opt out of PHPSESSID while using the site — without it, you can't sign in, check out, or use the cart. If you'd rather not use cookies at all, contact us at hello@modusdom.com and we'll register the domain on your behalf manually.
