This Cookie Policy explains what cookies Merch Madness uses, why we use them, how long they last, and how you can manage them. We keep it simple because our cookie usage is minimal.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as whether you are signed in.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| connect.sid | Keeps you signed in to your creator account. This is an essential session cookie required for the Platform to function. | 30 days | Essential |
| locale | Remembers your preferred language so pages display in the correct language on return visits. | 1 year | Functional |
| __stripe_mid / __stripe_sid | Set by Stripe during checkout to process payments securely and prevent fraud. These cookies are controlled by Stripe. | Session / 1 year | Essential (third-party) |
When you make a purchase or set up creator payouts, Stripe may set its own cookies to process payments and prevent fraud. These cookies are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy. We do not control Stripe's cookies.
Our web pages may load fonts from Google Fonts. This service may log your IP address when fonts are requested. Google Fonts does not set cookies, but the font request is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Here is how to do it in common browsers:
We do not track users across third-party websites. Because we do not use tracking cookies, our Platform behaves the same way regardless of your browser's Do Not Track setting.
We may update this Cookie Policy if we add new cookies or change how we use existing ones. Material changes will be communicated through the Platform or by email. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
